Not Manchester United

My youngest son has just finished his latest PBN project. Wolves, of course.

Day off Week 13 2020

Yesterday started early as I headed off to Aberystwyth to collect my son from university. Following Mr Johnson's announcement, we thought it best to go get him. I called in on my other son and his family, of course, and spoke over the garden gate. Strange to see Aber so empty. The roads were not too busy and we were home in time for tea. After tea I watched University Challenge and The Liar then the news. Exhausted by day's end.

Psalm 68:6

God sets the lonely in families

Close observers may recognise this as another of my old Porthcawl pictures. This is me with my wonderful mother. Walking home tonight with my ipod on I was thinking about her and feeling rather sad as she died several years ago.

Anyway as I came round the corner my 17 year old was coming in the opposite direction. We removed an earpiece each and smiled and I told him what I'd been thinking and admonished him to appreciate his mother while he had her (and his dad!). A little further on I saw our car turn into our street and as I arrived home my wife and three other sons were just heading into the house. An obvious caution against dwelling on the past, I think, and a reminder to be thankful for what you've got. Slightly sentimental yes but practical too.
