Where did you get that hat?

Life is busy! Maybe that statement doesn't quite hit the spot. Perhaps my abilities to deal with life efficiently are ebbing away with age. Blogging time is slipping down the list, and although I read most posts, my comments are almost always short, superficial, and rarely do justice to the subject matter.

Did I tell you that life is busy? Not work life, but social life and preparations for that life after work that I constantly seem to be banging on about! We've also been taking advantage of the better weather and lighter nights and trying to walk for an hour or so every evening.

Spring is in the air, together with something else that I can't really say any more about at the moment, except to say that it will be momentous! When I can share the news, I will. The intention isn't to be secretive, but to give a flavour of the mounting excitement developing at The Old School.

In the meantime a couple of family snaps, unfortunately separated by a few thousand miles.

The Ministry of Silly Hats, at Bridgemere. For some reason I wasn't allowed to don the tank commanders helmet! Rhiannon was entertaining the oldies during a much needed break from her post-grad studies. Apologies for the quality, but it's another mobile selfie. Is it still a selfie if the pic shows more than one person?

Tom, at the end of his Japanese biathlon, coming 41st out of 120 in the pro race. He improved his PB by seven minutes. Bravo!

 Celebrating with the Tom Bot!
