So many inspirational quotes from such an amazing man are on my fb feed this morning. I remember waiting somewhat impatiently on the day he was released from prison, in a time when news was much less live stream than it is nowadays. There are some mornings when I really don't want to get up and face the day. Nelson Mandela kept going. Maybe I'll put one of those wonderful quotes up in my bedroom.
We were surprisingly connected to the news last night and made much use of the internet. The extreme weather encouraged us to learn about storm surges. My daughter also shared some "so-scary-how-will-we-sleep-at-night" footage about super volcanoes that will wipe out the world, that she'd been learning about at school. But we also got to go ooh and ahhh at some very pretty close up snowflakes:

I still love geography :) And I am increasingly a fan of social media and all its potential for bringing us together, inspiring us, supporting us through tricky times -well it's the people that do that, obviously. Let's keep being inspirational and supportive :D
running between appts today, such a busy day! Stuffed down some marmite on toast so thsat my tum hopefully won't rumble through my workshop this afternoon. But so delighted to be accosted by a woman I see occasionally who said she'd not seen me in a while and what a shame that was as "you're one of Kirkham's lovely people" so I gave her a hug and thanked her for her compliment! Keep spreading the love people - IT REALLY WORKS!!
