*Delighted* to finally have a car, a used Hyundai i30. Insured, but have to shelp to a large post office in a town to tax it as it won’t allow me to do it online (this happens sometimes), so that’s this afternoon’s job. Will make many future journeys easier, though, once I feel confident in it.

This sound reminds me of my Nana exclaiming, “Ooh, err!” when she was shocked or horrified by something 😂

Wonderful evening at Aldeburgh cinema seeing The Choral. A reminder that joy can be found in the darkest of times, not as some clichéd ‘silver lining’ but in art and in music, in the midst of the messiness of life.

As a dyslexic student I’ve been given funding for an OrCam Learn Basic. I picked it up today.
I snap a pic of my book page, and reads it whilst I read along and/or make notes. And I can remember stuff?! Reading comprehension on the first, not forth, reading? This is WILD.

H has just be served the first part of an article from the Telegraph where someone wearing a £135 scarf in their large second house is complaining they ‘can’t afford to run their Aga due to their £400 electric bill’. Just bizarre.

God, forgive us when we avoid Your work of shaping us.
Forgive us when we hear Your Word and choose not to live it out.
Write Your grace on our hearts again, and renew us in the joy of following You.
Amen.

I love it when someone introduces a new project at work and our side of it genuinely fits straight into a process that we’ve already co-created together and we know works well 😌 It’s rare, but I’m taking a moment to bask in it.

Very distracted in my Hebrew lecture by the sound of sheep.
There aren’t typically any sheep near us 😬 Are they escaped sheep, and if yes, where have they escaped from?

Car I test drove wasn’t suitable due to gear stick position, but the owner was an absolute delight. I hope he manages to sell it soon.

Fascinating isn't it? The richest rarely have to defend their obscene levels of personal wealth on the Public Broadcaster. The political debate in this country is framed in a very particular direction.

A bit niche I realise, but it’s astonishing the difference between a Blackwing pencil and the Staedtlers I used for years. I’ve had one sat in a pot for years but took it out to use recently, and my hands don’t cramp at all when I write with it. Will look at getting a spare.
