January was the soft launch of the SWR 701s, so I spent the day trying to get all the Aventra types in use on a random day.

I’ll do more 2024 pics later, but will finish July with this. I won a 7-a-side trophy at the @canaries.co.uk CSF The Nest facility. Lumbering striker who doesn’t score but does assist!

It’s still July, but a day trip to #Paris happened. This was the 23rd, which is the anniversary of Dad dying, so I did something to cheer me up.

The blue tick nonsense on Elon’s site about this petition that “cannot be ignored” when the petition to reverse Brexit had to be because it was against “the will of the people” is exactly why this site is so much nicer, tolerant and ‘bot free. Nice, innit?

Today I’m playing in a football tournament I’ve organised to raise funds for the family of my 2-year-old niece who has been diagnosed with leukaemia and whose parents must stay with her, thereby affecting their work. 48 players have donated time and money. People are great at times!
