This little one has an upset tummy (not surprising as he’s a shocker for picking things up in his mouth at every opportunity). I’m staying downstairs with him tonight to make sure he’s OK and has every opportunity to go in the garden. Not ill in himself, thankfully.

Bill Bryson on the RNLI in "The Road to Little Dribbling : more notes from a small island" (2015)
I had never really stopped to consider what an extraordinary thing the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is. Think about it. A troubled ship calls for help, and eight people - teachers, plumbers, the guy
who runs the pub - drop everything and put to sea, whatever the weather, asking no questions, imperilling their own lives, to try to help strangers. Is there anything more brave and noble than that? The RNLI - I looked this up later - is an organization run by volunteers, supported entirely by public donations. It maintains 233 stations around the coast of Britain and averages twenty-two call-outs per day. It saves 350 lives a year on average.

The upside to the horrendous day of train travel I’m having (along with thousands of other passengers) is I get to be crossing the Thames at night. I’ve always loved my hometown when the lights are on. If it’s raining too, even better
A women leans on the wall of the Embankment, gazing out across the River Thames at night. Westminster Bridge, the Elizabeth Tower housing Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are visible in the distance. It’s a cloudy sky but the full moon is visible and reflected in the river.
