I lived here for 6 years. This station didn’t exist when I moved to Dalston but was the derelict remains of a former British Rail station. I left in 2011.. pre-kids era.

As you go in to the Ashmolean you’re greeted with this sight. And yes it is what you think it is.

Went to Oxford today.. I’ve sort of been before but not properly. Anyway we went round the Ashmolean Museum and visited Balliol college. I was both impressed by the rich history of the place and put off by the privilege that’s afforded to its former scholars in equal measure.

One year of Duo. Started learning Italian but then the app added chess and maths so I’ve been doing that, too. The maths is dead easy 😁

I’m doing a little fund-raising thing for my kids’ scout group. Guess the 3 digit combination and you win the contents of the box which is currently a load of sweets and £25. What code would you guess?

There’s a big outdoor festival in Rugby today that’s been planned for ages. Of course it’s raining.

Okay so the case has decided to come home at last, and it’s now at City Airport. Now it just has to get to me. I didn’t expect to get so stressed about a suitcase.

I got home from Italy earlier. Sadly my suitcase didn’t. The AirTag inside it shows me it’s still in Rome, and the airline have not responded to anything. I have no idea if, when or how I’ll be reunited with it.
