on a dark desert highway.......

The sharp-eyed among you may spot that this isn't really a shot of the Mojave but that song has been rattling round my head for much of the four hours it took me to get home.

Awesome day though. Last year I wore a suit twice; Jemma's graduation and an OU degree ceremony. I wore my suit again today but during a tour of the establishment next door to where we were celebrating the degree I was invited to climb a ladder on a building site to look at the roof tiles. Not something I remember doing in all the years that I used to wear a suit every working day but up I went and the tiles are really special.

I also saw dozens of kites hunting beside the motorway during the drive up - fewer on the way back as the weather had taken a turn for the worst.

The ceremony itself was wonderful; well attended and, as always, very moving.

It must be Friday because the sink was full of dirty dishes so I've washed them and now I think I'll have a beer to celebrate the end of a smashing week. I hope you are all being good to yourselves - let's squeeze this weekend until the pips squeak.
