Brother

Went to the market, then did a series of chores including marking, cleaning the kitchen floor, and replying to emails from panicking students. 

It’s my brother’s birthday today - he would have been 86. Spent the day feeling even sadder than usual, I miss him so much. The screenshot is of an archive photo of us both on the beach about 70 years ago, probably in Bournemouth. It’s not hard to see why I’ve hero-worshipped him throughout my life!
