My other thought for today is that if you ‘win’ a competition in penalties, it ONLY really counts if you’ve previously lost that same competition on penalties.

IT JUST DOESN’T.

My thought for today is that good enough is good enough

My work desk faces the window, which is nice

I can see people, some of whom I would probably know, walking up or down the hill,which is also nice

The trouble is,that with my work glasses on,I’m too short-sighted to be able to tell whether I know them or not

I would possibly need a hundred tweets to explain why I went for one rather than the other

I particularly like ‘the covid waltz’

Day eleventy-six of lockdown

I got totally wrapped up in a College Basketball game.

From 1997.

I think I’ve calmed down again now.

RT @PickardJE: if Keir Starmer owns a field what else is the man capable of

The phrase ‘you couldn’t make it up’ is overused…but it does seem appropriate here twitter.com/tpgcolson…

RT @MarkMyWordsNews: My children won’t go back to school until the pupils of Eton are back at school. It is as simple as that.
