Only six little ducks left today. Started with twelve.

A group of ducklings swims in a pond near a large, round metal structure.

The new HT reviewed the security camera video and found the scooter! Hoorah! John Reese has been dispatched to apprehend the suspect and serve him some summary justice!

“Palace manager looks decent”

Brilliant penalty save from United reject.

Brilliant sucker punch from Palace!

I preferred God Save The Queen.

My own tiny contribution to the “island of strangers” keeping us safe.

Today’s birdwatching.

Reported the theft of my kid’s bike to the school (in person and by email) and to the police (online).

The school has some cctv, but seems reluctant to review the video - historical precedent suggests that it’s unlikely to reveal what happened.

The police left a voicemail asking me to call back to arrange to give a statement (not that there’s really anything else I can add). On calling back, a 15 minute conversation (mostly on hold) resulted in confirmation that my lad’s bike has indeed been stolen. The earliest the police can take a statement is a week on Saturday.
