I realised a few days into our skiing holiday that I never explained where I was going -- apologies for that. But we're back to normal now (just about).
1. This time, I'm ready for the flurry of communications that mark the day after a long weekend. They used to cause me anguish because they disrupted my work plans. But now I've noticed them, I can accept the 'hallo, I'm here; where are you at?' messages, and even take control by sending out a few of my own.
2. Looking from the window of the bus on to the lower cricket pitch I see a man throw a ball for his black and white dog. The dog just stands there.
3. The children ask very enthusiastically if we can watch David Attenborough's Wild Isles this evening.
