I old.

Well, older. The oldest I've ever been and younger than I'll ever be again. In this lifetime anyway.

Youngest daughter was playing badminton this evening (backhand serves and fending off bullies) whilst oldest was devouring steak (Aldi, good). Truly I have reproduced.

Have a plan to replace the shifters on the bamboo bike with better ones, and another plan to sort out the big clumpy boots, both with an eye to covering distance. Walked 31 miles from Falkirk on Saturday, and enjoyed the different approaches to the fear of missing lunch:

Me: walk faster!
Ivan: (checks phone) what time will we actually get there?
Patrick: (makes call) what time do we need to be there?

We got there, where I felt like absolute shit for about 15 minutes. Probably a virus. No not that one.

1 metre distancing in classrooms has been removed so I can rearrange the tables and have students talking to each other again. Slowly normality returns.

Best thing about today? A glass of valpolicella after a dry (alright damp) January.
