And hoping this stands the test of time, it’s lasted a week anyway.

So now it’s 7,000 steps, better than 10,000 steps, and a million other “tips”too. If you’re lucky enough to do so, get out, move, and it doesn’t need to be measured etc. Just get out and move, and keep moving. And have fun

Couple of flights, and what a book, beautifully told and expressed by ⁦@henrywinter⁩ .It can be joyous and harrowing in one page, and still relevant today. Almost “how not to do it” story, but he doesn’t tell you how to live either. What a story, ongoing thankfully #bigdunc

My word, possibly my favourite moment captured. And sometimes, doing “nothing” is the right thing to do, and that can take some doing, as you often think you have to be doing something, and you really don’t. I could write a book on that, but not now, too busy doing nothing

Best health thing in the world, an early, cold, refreshing swim. Unbeatable

The planning, timing, detail that goes into planning pre-season is beyond impressive, and the invisible hours, from operations, player support, coaches, chefs, analysts, medical, performance, kit managers,sports science, data analysts, media, and yes, players are impressive too

He did his bit, then he did a bit more, then an extra little bit more just to make sure….

Try and watch All-Ireland Hurling final today, even if you’ve never watched it before….”no contracts, no transfers…” it’s the purest form of sport left, and the skill is off the scale #GAA #allirelandfinal #corkvtipp .

Been lucky to attend so many sporting events around the world, but the one that still stands out, was an All Ireland Hurling Final. Stadium split 50/50, the colour, the noise, the rivalry and all for your county, and they don’t get paid. As for the skill.

Clear your lines…. Bumpy old pitch to be fair #lambourn

6 - 7 hours on the motorways today, so extra thanks to @5liveSport for @TheOpen commentary and conversation. Radio truly paints the best pictures #TheOpen.

I can’t help thinking that the couple in the middle of this photo, may have seen more of Rory, and others, as they were actually watching. I hope they had a wonderful day, I suspect they did. There you go #open

For all the digital marketing, digital presence et al, still finding personal referrals as powerful as ever through meeting people over the years. This year alone, people who had not contacted me for 16, 11 and 8 years call out of the blue looking for support etc, it still works.

Best listener in the business…

With a smidgen of bias, after a thrilling, unforgettable Test Match, a round of applause to ⁦@Karl_McDermott⁩ and his team ⁦@HomeOfCricket⁩ for preparing a pitch that produced such a thrilling game. Made in Clontarf

Beautiful 36 hours on the Isle of Wight, cooler, lived in the sea, slept in a wooden pod, and you come back clearer, on so many things. The sea, coast, constantly keeps giving, and giving. And sport on the radio is wonderful too. Simplicity is genius, still

Lie in on a Sunday….

Well, there you go, never wasting the daylight, ever

Too hot, book a ferry, cool down.Camping, £30 a night.Good for the soul, probably not great for the back .Everyone friendly, kids playing football, adults games of rounders, bbq’s everywhere, laughter the dominant sound.So beautifully simple, what luck

Slow over rate verging on embarrassing and a rip off. And, how about start a bit earlier and finish a bit later until every over is bowled, or offer a refund. Not that difficult really #ENGvsIND.

One of my idols growing up, the humour as quick as his self taught swing. Raised with nothing, never had a lesson, as flawed as they come, but compelling, clever, fierce, and a Champion too. Still got it at 85, and won’t lose it either. An extraordinary life, still going strong
