Eco-grad. Increasingly anarchist. With a chronic need for adventures. Human rights, democracy, history, hiking, food, beer, friends and family. And Genesis. Leics ex-pat in Yarkshire, UK. Trying to stay out of A&E.
Cleaning up my motorcycle jacket to flog it second hand. Sold the bike 16 years ago. Got there in the end. No point rushing things... 🙄
We got them for work. I swear at this one a lot. Throw it across the room. Generally abuse it. If it was a person, the police would be involved by now.
Early painting session, in perfect light. Followed by coffee and pains au chocolat for breakfast. A good start to the day.
We went out for lunch yesterday. There were swallows nesting at the pub. These are their fledglings.
We cancelled our compromise long weekend in London, due to start on Sunday. Privately, I'm relieved. Nobody could agree on a holiday, and this looked like being unsatisfactory for us all. Plus, the urban experience isn't really for me:
The leg seems to be settling down, but I'm still basically house-bound. So, pending the resumption of outdoor adventures, and as a counterpoint to the recent/forthcoming climate disaster weather, here's some snow from January 2025. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, everyone.
From Charles Delvert's diary ("From Marne to Verdun") Charles Nungesser is my favourite WW1 veteran. Determined, charismatic, slightly unhinged, perfect for his time and profession.
