    📸 September 2023 photo challenge. Day 13: Glowing

    My first cheat of the challenge — today’s photos were taken by my wife. It was a no brainer given there’s a hot shop where she works.

    Found a nice quiet spot to spend my lunch break… then turned around and saw the vampire rabbit was watching me 😱

    I adore Lucy Rie’s creations and picked up this catalogue of her work on a recent visit to the Centre of Ceramic Art in York.

    I have two questions about ITV’s rugby World Cup coverage…

    1. Why have they set it up to look like a political debate?
    2. Why are they making the pundits wear suit jackets in this heat?

    I’ve not forgotten about my holiday highlights series, so here’s #3…

    Listening to my Dad read my nephews their bedtime story… it just so happened to be the abuelo tonto (silly grandad) chapter from Sputnik’s Guide to Life on Earth 😂

    Someone wrote recently about the reason for blogging / who a blog is for. Can’t find it now and want to share with someone 😞 Can anyone point me in the right direction?
