I hadn’t realised until today that they are building a new park with “viewing mounds” (similar to those at Northala Fields?) beyond Glade Lane park.

Little lad at the park this morning. He’s had a good day and week, then just before bed tonight started vomiting. Poor little thing. And us.

Big kid’s school storage units.

Other than writing a couple of open letters to government ministers, what has Ealing Council done to date to campaign for greater regulatory powers around air quality, and for a Clean Air Act? Anyone know?

If air pollution monitoring data cannot inform the efficacy of individual air pollution reduction actions, how can it be used in combination with secondary data (presumably including health data) to do so?

Genuine question, and maybe I’m just being a bit thick.

Good enough to eat!

School caretaker this morning gritted the playground before we all arrived, and helpfully marked the still frozen large puddles with hazard cones so that the kids knew exactly where the best ice patches were for skidding practice.

Waiting for my 🍕 dough to rise…

Lovely early evening sky tonight.

Big kid woke up with a sore throat and didn’t want to go to school. Gave him paracetamol and told him he should spend the day in bed to recover. Half an hour later he bounced back into the living room with “I’m back”.
