My son texts me from the plane he’s on letting me know they’ve started the descent into Lyon.
He could choose his words more carefully next time.

I took my (then) young son with me to this match. He hated it, was bored and freezing cold. He moaned all the way through the first half so we left at half time. #itfc

I’m overly annoyed that these nature valley boxes that are perfectly dimensioned for seven bars, only contain 5.
And don’t get me started on the fact that they call them 10-packs.

Went looking at properties.
One (vacant) house was full of clutter. Including this eyebrow-raising soft toy on the floor of the master bedroom.

Still sitting on the eggs. She doesn’t move when we get in the cars, but she can’t be comfortable with us around.
Some swallows clearly had a go at building a nest too, but she’s seen them off.

We have a pigeon nesting in our car port. She’s been settled for a couple of days now so is presumably sat on eggs. I guess trying to keep them cool in this weather.

These two are proving two of my theories about music.

We live by a pond. Sadly one of the resident ducks got hit by a car right outside our front window.
