lots of good things, my best bit was amanda gorman, “we are far from polished, far from pristine... ...That even as we hurt, we hoped. That even as we tired, we tried. That we’ll forever be tied together, victorious."

the union road gaslight, seems especially narnian in the snow

sunrise over the north sea

the relentless routine of regular rehearsal remains for joseph, without recoil, refusal or resistance, never requesting rest - well, ok, perhaps only rarely - regardless of restrictions, heedless of the range or ratio of the r-value, not even rain can ...

så koseligt å treffe halvor i dag på tananger bedehuset

dramatic skies above the ski centre at hovden, a little ray of light from february's fab skiing trip

back at oliver’s mount yesterday for megan’s porter u11s team to take on handsworth

with the pending lockdown, remembrance day was observed early with a minute’s silence before kick-off
porter started brightly with great runs and well-taken goals from henry, but succumbed to the high-intensity opposition in the second-half
defeated 8-4 at the end

short early morning walk with skye and mags through brincliffe edge wood amongst absolutely awesome autumnal array
