Pic of the week 23/1/22
Whilst I have nothing significant to report, we continue to move through January at a swift pace – it seems unlikely that the coming week is the last full one of the month, but it is.
The weather has been kind – on the whole cold, but dry, with the occasional beautiful afternoon thrown in for good measure, and it looks set to stay dry for the week ahead. The lightening evenings are now just about becoming noticeable, and they certainly do lift the spirits. Towards the end of the week, I did find myself looking forward to today as I get to see the garden in daylight – in November and December it matters little as there is no change, but now its quite exciting to see what is starting to emerge from winter slumber and show signs of life, giving hope that Spring will, one day, come.
Sam is still with us, he’s done some exams and has another on Wednesday, and has worked a few shifts in the prep school kitchen. On Friday he and Becky did go out walking, hence the “time lapse” photos above. Very arty!
I ran today – annoyingly my split timings were not reliable, but I did feel fit & strong today, running my 10K a whole two minutes quicker than two weeks ago.
Every day seems to bring a new drama in the political world, and one hopes that B Johnson’s reign as our worst ever Prime Minister won’t last for much longer; and it also seems that Covid may (but it is a big may) just be on the wane.
So I type this tonight with a sense of hope – there will be bumps along the way, but one does just get the sense that everything is starting to get better.
