First Lego League

I'll make my report as if I told a story, for I was taught as a child on my homeworld that Truth is a matter of the imagination.

To the Clyde College for the Glasgow First Lego League heats. Fourteen teams, loads of Lego, and far too much junk food. This year, I’m one of the project judges, which makes a change from usual. The younger teams are more enthusiastic - and they try to bribe us with sweets.

Back home the fire struggles to heat the house as the temperature outside plummets. I push the sofa round to face the stove and spend the night reading.

Claire calls to tell me about my first bad review (as a guest) on AirBnb. I’ve already left the host scathing feedback and asked for a refund. Let battle commence!
