Sticking his oar in

Oh, no! The difficult second Blip!

One unexpected consequence of moving to Belfast is that the boy child has taken up rowing with his school, which sadly has meant the end of Saturday lie-ins. Worse still, he's joined a local club called the Lagan Scullers, which has put paid to lazy Sunday mornings as well.

On the plus side, it's an excuse to get the camera out and wander around by the river for an hour or so, so it's not all bad.
