Did some unplanned sitting down today on a piece of grass next to the mud where my now almost treadless boots slipped. Fortunately no-one was around to witness the mistake. Well you have to have an element of adventure in your walk, don’t you?
Christmas is now approaching like an express train, or like the buffers, depending on your view.

Watched The Aeronauts last night. An exciting film – but remember it’s only a story. (Small spoiler alert!) Couldn’t work out why the balloon emerged from a thunderstorm free of ice, then accumulated loads of the stuff (of frosty appearance) when in the dry air further aloft. Maybe the balloon was already wet.
