  • Chatted with an old friend on Facebook. Seems he has also bought Elite: Dangerous.
  • Helped a sweet old lady sort out council tax issue for her daughter, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. 
  • Discovered that a woman I rarely have time for in work is actually really good at her job. She took a case off me that was a total pain in the backside and got a result I couldn't have imagined.

  • First day back at work after my summer hols.  Surprising how quickly you get into it, and how distant the time off seemed.
  • After months on and off the walking stick, I actually ran to catch a train (Helen in Reading with her sister).  It felt very strange..
  • Bought a new pushchair for my amazing daughter's imminent baby.  Can't wait to be a grandfather!
