I received my share of my father's "estate" today. It wasn't a lot, certainly not life changing, but I wanted to do something worthwhile and also somehow something that he might have appreciated.

He was a gambling man, in a way I'm certainly not comfortable with, so going to the casino is out of the question as much as it seems vaguely appropriate.

As a compromise position I've purchased shares with it. I sure hope no major global events affect the stock market negatively this year!

Be right back, I'm going to read the news for the first time in six months.

Received a "hi gents" email.

Plot twist, not sent by a gent.

What a week, huh?

The train timetable has changed. I didn't check it before leaving the house so had to decide between catching a train that was arriving at the same time as me, and getting a coffee.

Reader, I purchased the coffee.

I have deposited @CuriosityBlue into the mysterious area of International Departures with plenty of time to spare and she should be flying majestically through the heavens like a god very soon.

Thanks everyone who came out and had fun with us over the last month and made it look like we live exciting and glamorous lives! You may now return to normal!
