    Chicken fajitas with peppers and red onion

    One of the awesome Shortcodes I found during my Automattic trial was the Recipes one. Really easy to use and presents in a well laid out format. While looking for the kit I used, I found this blog about Lidl with a post about the same kit! Yes, I think I’ve reached peak diversity of posts…

  • Reflective thought…

    Getting small person in bed and asleep has been a battle for some time. Recently it’s been getting a bit better. He even has “Sleepy” cream from Lush. Tonight he was all over the place, not listening, demanding “just a little snack”, walking up and down the hallway, and throwing his blankie about the shop.…

  • Year of the blog

    I’ve seen variations of the phrase “2019 will be the year blogging comes back” a few times recently and I have to agree. I’ve enjoyed reading blogs more and I’m wanting to write more. I agree with a Tweet I saw a few days ago which said, and I paraphrase, “people aren’t sharing any more…

  • Crazy Rich Asians – a brief review

    I’ve finished Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. Book two of 2019. I became aware of it when the film was announced, it was all over Twitter and I initially thought it was a new series rather than a film. The first half or so of the book I tore through, but the second half…

  • The Lion King

    Watched The Lion King earlier. Ben started getting annoyed towards the end “but when is the Lion Guard coming onnnn!!” 🙄 I still remember 90% of the songs and dialogue. Unsure if it’s too Disney film but it’s top five for sure. Others are Aladdin, The Mighty Ducks, Jungle Book, the Aristocats. Not counting newer…

  • Caffeine Hit!

    Due to my known addiction to the brew, a friend got my this game for Christmas. If you’ve played Sushi Go! (or Sushi Go Party!) then you’ll know the concept of different food items having different values and making sets and such. The idea is the same for Caffeine Hit! Really quick game, so you…

  • 300 nursery check-ins

    I’ve missed a few but that is a solid record. Interestingly, Swarm shows only 292 check-ins, maybe it doesn’t count Foursquare check-ins? Or later additions? Hard to comprehend that B will be in primary school in August! 😲

  • Little helper

    Backdated I had some help taking in the bins last night, the photos are poor due to his speed but the HEIC format (Apple Live Photos), they make great gifs! We walked back coming home from nursery and I said I needed to put the bins back. I took the grey one and I hear…

  • Late nights

    I saw a tweet earlier on Timehop which made me realise the change over the past ten years. Not the current thing going around of 2009/2019 profile photos, but my sleep pattern. I was awake at 7am, not due to getting up earlier but still being awake. fuck this. can't sleep. no point trying anymore.…
