Father and Son

A very long day... but will be in bed soon. Hot sunshine in the garden; then went to meet friends from Brazil on a stopover at Birmingham Airport; then up to Leeds and back to collect son's "stuff", but leaving him there to cope with a broken relationship and dreary rain and good-byes, not to mention a depressing student house. Oh well, he'll be home soon.

The drive was horrendous - the traffic! the roadworks! the crawling! If I were ever dictator of England, the first thing I'd tackle would be that - with draconian measures. You'd only be allowed a car if you were diasabled, and all the money saved would go towards public transport that worked and was cheap. Ha!
