  1. Just checked in to see the score on Day 3 at Cardiff and found there wasn't one.

    #Glamorgan scored 69 & 65 all out, losing by an innings and 257 inside two days.

    Grim.

  2. "Cardiff is in the geographic county of Glamorgan. It is currently administered by Cardiff Council and lies within the South Glamorgan lieutenancy area, but neither replaces the geographic county. The present Cardiff council area also extends east across the River Rhymney into geographic Monmouthshire, so Rumney, Llanrumney, Trowbridge and St Mellons are administered as parts of Cardiff while remaining geographically in Monmouthshire"

  4. Back to May(nooth)

    Not May Blossom (actually Common Pearlbrush)

    So here I am, back home in Maynooth after a long weekend away in Not Maynooth. The weather forecast for Maynooth was typically dreadful for a Bank Holiday weekend but I have to say I can’t sign see much sign of the heavy rain that was predicted.

    On the way back I checked the cricket scores and discovered that Glamorgan won their County Championship game against Hampshire by an innings and 69 runs. That’s worth marking on this blog because it is their first win in Division One since 2005. Historic. Their first three games this season ended in a defeat and two draws, so it was 4th time lucky. Well played to them!

    Anyway the last four days of teaching term beckon, including a 9am lecture tomorrow morning, so I had better leave it at that and try to get into a work frame of mind.

  6. Catching up on play in today's #CountyChampionship, I realize I don't understand the rules for adding on time lost due to bad weather. Anyway, #Glamorgan are doing pretty well against #Yorkshire going into the final day tomorrow.

  7. Für einen kurzen Impuls habe ich mir die Präsenz der Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz im #Wikiversum angesehen und ein paar Daten dazu zusammengetragen. Neben #qlever, #petscan und #glamorgan habe ich inbesondere versucht, die Revisionshistorie der Items auszuwerten. Da ließe sich sicher noch mehr herausholen. Wenn also jemand Ideen hat, gerne! Präsentation, Daten und Code zum Nachbasteln gibt es unter doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18380310

  8. Never mind that:

    - Cylindrical objects containing no meat have been marketed under names such as #Glamorgan sausage (selsig Morgannwg) for over 150 years

    - Even Germans once felt the need to call animal sausages #mettwurst to distinguish them from other kinds

    - Almost everyone knows what “veggie sausage”, “vegan sausage” or “plant-based sausage” mean

  9. Stiles are often haunted in #folklore because they are liminal -neither one place nor another. Folklorist Marie Trevelyan recorded a weird example, the 'Big Man's Stile' in the Vale of #Glamorgan. Its #ghost was described as 'gigantic, swarthy, with coal-black hair and fiery eyes'. #PhantomsFriday

  11. In #Victorian times, medieval St Donat's Castle, #Glamorgan, was haunted by the benign and elegant Lady Stradling but also by: a phantom panther patrolling the passages; 'a hag of horrible appearance'; a piano that played itself; and a huge glowing eye. The final four were exorcised. #PhantomsFriday

  13. The Boy asks me if we can watch cricket together sometime next season, adding "but you know I don't really like crowds..." I reply "Yes! We can go and watch #Glamorgan..."

  14. Meanwhile, in today's big cricket match, #Glamorgan have beaten #Kent to go second in Division 2 of the #CountyChampionship

  15. Happy birthday to former Glamorgan player, and a legend of Indian cricket, Ravi Shastri!

    Ravi was the first Indian Test cricketer to play for Glamorgan, and played over 100 matches for the Club, scoring more than 5,000 runs and picking up almost 150 wickets 🇮🇳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Cricket: Glamorgan and the Summer of ‘69

    By 1969, Glamorgan had only won the County Championship once in their history - in 1948. The 1968 season had been a good one seeing a rise from 14th in the table to 3rd. Could the team build on that?
