🏴🇧🇪 All smiles… for the first ten minutes anyway. Before the penalties arrived… and automatic qualification started slipping away! ⚽️ #WalesvsBelgium

Morning. A quiet, settled, predictable week to come… weather-wise, anyway!

A moving night watching Edwyn Collins say goodbye to fans in Manchester, on his farewell tour. Edwyn’s performance, resilience and humour was incredible, despite suffering a stroke 20 years ago. So much love at the Albert Hall for one of alternative national treasures.

Thanks for the lovely messages, folks! Big fan of #CardiffHalf… great to see brilliant banners and so much support en route. Testing out your dancing legs after running 13.1 miles might not be the best recovery plan… but a great Simply Red 40th anniversary gig in town tonight!

Cracking Simply Red concert in Cardiff. Playing all the hits as part of their 40th Anniversary Tour. This version of ‘Money’s Too Tight to Mention’ got the crowd on their feet. Testing out your dancing legs after running a half-marathon might not be the best recovery, though…

🏴 Twenty years since my first Cardiff half… ten years since my fastest… and probably set for my slowest today! 🏃🏾♂️ But still love the challenge, superb support, the landmarks en route, and the buzz it brings to our city. Pob lwc pawb. Let's do this! #CardiffHalf

🏃🏾♂️Weather-watching for Cardiff Half Marathon? Me too! Here’s the latest forecast. Looks like the worst of Storm Amy will have cleared, to leave a better but blustery day on Sunday. #CardiffHalf #StormAmy

Saturday the windiest day of the weekend in Wales with gales. Sunday less windy. Mostly dry and breezy for the @CardiffHalf marathon with a 30% chance of a light shower. 13C rising to 16C in the afternoon. Pob lwc to all the runners including my weather buddy @Sue_Charles.

Can’t wait for the Super Furry Animals comeback! A tour confirmed for 2026… Green Man headliners maybe? Covered Festival No 6 ten years ago… which turned out to be one of their last gigs. A warm welcome back for their madcap musical escapism. 👏🏼👏🏼 #SFA #SuperFurryAnimals

Second concert of the weekend. Took mum to see Graham Gouldman in Abergavenny… and what a gig! Bridge to Your Heart, Dreadlock Holiday, For Your Love, Bus Stop, I'm Not in Love, Things We Do For Love, Heart Full of Soul, For Your Love… that back-catalogue is hard to beat!

Brilliant Deacon Blue gig in Cardiff! All the hits, great new songs and poignant tributes to the late Jim Prime. They sound amazing and look like a band who love being back on the road. Here’s the crowd going mad for Fergus Sings The Blues… @rickyaross @DougieVipond

And just when you think a gig can’t get any better… you bump into the band after the show! Thanks so much Ricky, Dougie, Lorraine, Gregor, producer Matt and all the lovely Deacon Blue crew. 🙏🏼 @rickyaross @DougieVipond

Love this story. Theatre-loving Fizz named UK's cat of the year… I can vouch that he’s the cheekiest too! Was at an event with Kaleb Cooper in Llandrindod Wells at the Albert Hall. Guess which cheeky ginger strolled onstage and stole the show?! 🐈 https://t.co/fhQLnPVF4r

Sad news: legendary bass player Danny Thompson - Pentangle, John Martyn, Nick Drake, and beyond - has died at the age of 86. He passed away peacefully at home... https://t.co/0ZaZ2gP4WU

🍁 It's the autumn equinox... and feeling more like it, after a cold start with patchy frost. ☀️ The brighter, chillier side of autumn to come this week. A welcome change after the wet start to September. #AutumnEquinox

Sad news to hear John Stapleton has died after a battle with Parkinson’s. He and his late wife Lynn Faulds-Wood made such an impact as journalists, especially with their memorable on-air partnership on Watchdog. 📺 #JohnStapleton
