3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With Son very much enjoying the new freedom and opportunities that come with being a legal adult, the atmosphere in the house has also lifted. There has been a subtle shift in our relationship as, now I have no legal responsibility for him, we are true friends.
This, plus making the house a much cleaner and tidier place yesterday, has generally led to a feeling of deep satisfaction. However, I am always aware that the character I play is very much having the circumstances dictated by forces way beyond it. My completely different experience with Daughter, despite my being exactly the same person, is ample evidence of this. I have realized how whether someone is hero or villain is in most cases very little to do with the person and everything to do with everything else!
I have concluded that circumstances and indeed fate is just something you get dealt as a character. The only true control your character has is how you respond to what happens to you both externally and internally, and where you place your attention.
4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you responding in that way to the circumstances you face?
5. TODAY'S WEATHER IN BRADFORD
Showers, occasionally heavy, throughout the day, with clear intervals.
There will be a window of dry weather in the evening but isolated showers will pass through overnight.

Sunrise at 07;14

6. TODAY'S ONELINER

7. NOW THAT'S FUNNY!

8. TRIVIA
The world steel industry pours more steel in an hour than the gold that has been poured gold since the beginning of recorded history.
