One of my very best #Glastonbury days. Joyous, fierce, emotional and unforgettable performances from Myles Smith, Lewis Capaldi, Self Esteem, Alanis Morissette, Wunderhorse and The Fratellis, among others. Brilliant, every one of them.

GET IN! While I'm somewhat meh about the headliners, this is overall the best first poster drop in a lot of years. I've been excited since ticket sale day, but now I'm bouncing... and there's still 110 days to go... #Glastonbury
Here is the first Glastonbury Festival 2025 line-up poster. Many more acts and attractions still to be announced. Poster: @StanleyDonwood

All the Musk-bots and single-digit-IQ Trump supporters replying to this would be hilarious if it wasn't so alarming to see America being run by these people.

Trademark fun and brilliance from @LotteryWinners at Bristol O2 tonight - can't think of a more infectiously joyous live band. First date of their new tour, so do yourself a favour and get along to one of the shows. Fingers crossed they'll be back at #Glastonbury in June.

Brilliant from @snowpatrol in Cardiff tonight - a set full of singalong anthems. Loved it. Surely it's time for them to make an overdue #Glastonbury return?

Four years of #RunEveryDay complete - 1,461 consecutive days, totalling 13,774km. That's the equivalent of a flight from London to Australia. Festivals, snow, mountains, heatwaves, illness... and some truly epic scenery. And on we go to year 5...

Thank you Rome - you were magnificent once again. Consumed more history, beauty and food in 3 days than would have thought possible...

Well short of my best time - I blame a combination of waterlogged sand, lack of speed training and my general obesity - but home in 48.29 at today's Christmas Cracker. As always, a highly enjoyable and well-organised event, with a super atmosphere. Well done to all runners.

'Tis the season of hot chocolate and festive movies... good news for our youngest, who's been nagging to watch Christmas films since August.

Daughter wanted to go hunting for extravagantly decorated houses this evening - so if any of these are yours, thank you for spreading a little bit of Christmas joy.

We're going back to Glasto baby! 16 minutes in the queue and then a burst of joy - far better than the usual hour of F5-ing and eventually heartbreak. Worthy Farm, I can't wait to see you again. #glastonburytickets
Five laptops, four phones... as ready as I can be for the #Glastonbury ticket sale. Only 13 minutes to go until the inevitable heartbreak begins.

I can't believe it's only fove years since my Sahara trek - feels like a lifetime ago. But such stunning landscapes, and what an incredible adventure... I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Fine finale to a great year of live music - sneaks them into my top 6 from a Glastonbury-less year. 1 Lottery Winners, Frome 2 Red Rum Club, Bristol 3 Wunderhorse, Bristol 4 Stone, Exeter 5 Blossoms, Bournemouth 6 Dutty Moonshine Big Band, Godney 7 Last Dinner Party, Bristol
Great gig at Bournemouth O2 tonight from Blossoms - immeasurably better and more polished than their Glastonbury set a couple of years ago. Superb support too - as always - from the brilliant Red Rum Club.

Haven't been back to #BridgwaterCarnival since I stopped working in the town in 2008 - but great to see the custom still going strong, and the town continues to celebrate its carnival with the traditional creativity and gusto.

First #Parkrun in nearly 5 years, and shaved more than five minutes off my best Parkrun time- down from 28.00 in 2019, to 22.52 today. Great course at Paignton Velo Park too. Takes my #runeveryday streak to 1,382 days. strava.app.link/Nyqff6U6CNb
