Noun – A cherished aspiration, ambition, or ideal.
Some dreams (like playing at the end-of-year tennis finals) are beyond the reach of most people. But dreams don’t have to be impractical or inaccessible. They can be very normal things that we hope for, and through our actions alone achieve.
Photo word of the week – Practicality
Noun – The quality or state of being practical.
When facing a long walk, practicality is of upmost importance. Style comes after substance. Flair takes a back seat to pragmatism.
Adjective – Able to withstand force, pressure, or wear.

I saw these at the London Eye. Made by Dyson, they both wash and dry your hands (although not at the same time obviously). They are an interesting idea, with the main selling point being that they stop people wandering around the toilet dripping water from their hands. At over £1,000 a pop, they don’t come cheap however.
Pronoun – No person; no one.
Beneath the crowded nighttime streets, beneath the cars and busses, is where you will find what you are searching for, where you will find nobody.
