For some reason this has some resonance...

Asylum Seekers

This one is particularly aimed at my father-in-law. Radio 4 has a weekly program for kids, Go4It, which often tackles some pretty serious issues in a way that does its best to really engage with its audience in a productive way. This week they had a big feature on asylum seekers, which involved quite a challenging bit of roleplay where the kids had to take on the roles of a family being forced to flee their home and had some very tough decisions to make which would affect what happened to them later. We had to stop what we were doing and listen to this compelling radio. It's available to listen again until Sunday. (Hopefully it can be listened to in the RoI.)

Wimbledon, here we come...

I got myself a new camera the other day, the excuse being so that I can send pictures of the Youngling to <3 while she is away (as now). It's only a bog standard snappy camera, but it's nice and easy to use. I'm really pleased with this pic of the Youngling getting in preparation to compete for a Wimbledon singles title some time around 2022 or so.
