Homework
The shed makes an awesome place to do homework. Especially when Dad is working at home too.
The bed however, isn't quite such a great place for brain stretching Maths.

Bunks Installed
The bunk beds move again. Having started life in Herfordshire, moved to Washington State, then to Oxfordshire, they are now happily residing in sunny Devon.
Bunk installation was considerably helped by the liberal use of doobries, widgets and nogins. There's nothing like the right tools for the job...

Last-but-one commute
For the past two (and a bit) years, 3 days (sometimes 5) each week, my commute to work has been by bike.
This week is the last. So I've been making the most of it by going off-road along a bridleway that follows the route of an
old Roman road
between Dorchester and Alchester.
I'm going to miss it.
