The month in general has been most enjoyable. Margaret's health has continued to improve and she has been busy with a variety of activities associated with her librarianship (is there such a word?) and her role as a school governor. For my part I've sat in court on four days this month. I continue to learn of course but I'm gradually developing more confidence. There have been (rare) occasions when I've been able to brief my bench colleagues on some finer point of process. I am expected to sit on 13 full days per year (April to March). By volunteering, I've already sat on 22 days ! As will be apparent, I get huge fulfilment from the role.
The other morning I set my alarm to wake me at 3am to watch the 'super moon'. This was apparently a rare event when the moon's orbit brings it to it closest to the earth and coincided with a lunar eclipse.
I must confess that although the moon did indeed darken and become coloured, the size was hardly super ! Still, maybe it will be better when it happens again in 33 years.
This month's saying is absolutely nothing to do with the moon. Instead it simply amused me:
It's like deja-vu, all over again
