Kids have enjoyed a bit of sunshine, Lego in the garden and a homemade sweet potato curry! #delicious. I'm now sat scanning some #hamradio repeaters for an opportunity to chat

The promise of a reasonable day ahead. Happy Monday all. (Yes, I do need to paint the fence!)

Working in the garden today trying to fix my antenna systems. I hope to also reporogram my hotspot later as it's not been working since I had it repaired. #hamradio #nwfg

Nick Ferrari discussing @lbc.co.uk this morning, the controversial policy around suspending police officers when allegations are made. Without any evidence to suggest guilt. Sounds familiar to foster carers! #fostering #fostercare #thefosteringnetwork

Met up with Lee from Goggle box in Stratford on Avon. Nice guy.

Just set the #icom back up in the bus, had a lovely chat with an old friend (M0DEF) Garry who has been part of my radio journey since I was 14 years old. Now, scanning the frequencies for further signs of life. Are you about @documental.ly ?

Wishing you all a happy and healthy Christmas and New year. I'm grateful for my family, birth and extended. Overjoyed that our Son has joined us for Christmas from Canada, he may be 20, but he's still my baby boy!

Dinner preparations completed! Time for some chat on the North West Fusion Group (#HamRadio) on Christmas day. Oh, is it too early for a red? #sorrynotsorry @g0ylm.bsky.social

Good morning

Change your lense, look at things differently:
Multi agency working should borrow each other's professional lenses to layer on their own to refine again and again the perception of a Family or situation.

This is so relevant to Foster Care.

Foster carers need that fire, that drive to not allow anything to stand in the way of progress for their kids. It's often unfortunately people on the same team they have to fight with!

Back @ Research Garage in Nuneaton for the family bus service. Every two years or 30K. Not the best place to start off my 25th year Anniversary! Still, I shall endure it and head out for lunch with my lovely lady, shortly (her name isn't shortly!).
