Work is dangerous! There are more than 6000 daily deaths worldwide because of an occupational accident or work-related disease. How many more? Such accidents and illnesses are under-reported. The construction industry has a bad record. I remember seeing a helicopter about two weeks ago. It came for a builder who fell from scaffolding. Sometimes an accident causes inconvenience. A contractor accidentally cut a large water pipe. Lots of houses didn't have water. A lorry took a wrong road in Plymouth. It damaged a railway bridge. Now it is hard for people to go home from Cornwall.

How beautiful the Tokyo medals are! They are designed around the motif of a traditional Japanese fan. This shows the Paralympic Games as a source of a fresh new wind blowing throughout the world. Also, they are a shared experience connecting diverse hearts and minds. A pivot point, "kaname", holds all of the leaves of the fan together, like the people are brought together, regardless of nationality or ethnicity. The leaves symbolise rocks, flowers, trees, leaves and water - parts of Japan's natural environment. And the medals are made of recycled metals from many mobile phones and small electronic devices donated by the people of Japan.

Wheelchair rugby is a mixed gender sport, but this year there are only four women in Tokyo. A team has four members. Since Sydney in the year 2000 more than 50 gold medals have been won, but Kylie Grimes is the first woman. The medals are very special, designed and made for disabled people. People with good eyes can see the medals' colours. For visually impaired people there are silicon convex dots on the ribbon and circular indentations on the rim, one for gold, two for silver, and three for bronze. Winners can identify their medals by touch. And written in Braille is "Tokyo 2020".

There wasn't enough time to think about sport today. There's a family here. Bit by bit they've arrived! Let's see! First, here's a little boy by huge leaves. Or are they normal leaves and one of the Little People? Is this one of the Little People among the blackberries and the nettles? No. This is a small white butterfly. What is that? Young auntie and younger nephew can see something in the lane. We saw a little weasel the day before yesterday. Here are some more children. Now there's an uncle and a cousin too. And the great-uncle? He's a bit off-colour. He'd rather stay away from boisterous children.

There is a need for accuracy and control in several sports. There's a stationary target (concentric rings or electronic) in archery and in shooting rifles, pistols and air guns. The equipment nowadays is very technical. Shooters can be in a wheelchair or ambulant. They can be 10 metres, 25 metres or 50 metres from the target. Sometimes they have a support for their gun. Sometimes they lie on the ground (without sleeping!). Archers can use two sorts of bow and they can stand upright or sit in a wheelchair.
