Guns, trains and sell by dates

Last day of the Christmas break began with glorious sunshine, even after a lie-in. Finally breaking the back of designing a simple responsive website using HTML5 for a history project. Call from Germany on battles with Microsoft Publisher,  apparently it's not possible to automatically generate Contents tables.

A time to eat leftovers and take short brisk walks in golden but chilly winner sunset.

News still dominated by tragedy of the shootings in a Turkish nightclub.  A similarly lethal bus bomb in Baghdad 2 days ago receives little or no mention. Outcry however about New Years gift of rail fare rises. Len McCluskey gives a friendly sell by date for Jeremy Corbyn - 1919 - Oops! Subconscious slip there, should be 2019. Brexit currently off radar.

Tragically, the second young girl injured in a hit and run in Oldham has died. 2015 stats, 1,732 deaths and 186,209 injuries in road accidents; here's hoping 2017 is less lethal.
