The Dundee Beano statues
It is fitting that on the 65th anniversary of the Bash St Kids, I was instructed to take himself to the “dog statue”. (The HEIC version of this is funnier cos his foot is tapping) “I’m on his nose hahaha” no comment that he is hugging the one called Minx who is a trouble maker.…

Sound of…silence?
It’s been another of “those” nights getting small person to sleep. I’m currently lying on the hallway outside the rooms because my back hurts and if I go downstairs, he’ll be up. Maybe one week it’ll be more than one night of kids asleep for 11/12h. That might sound a long time but a week…

Thirtieth
That is totally one of those words you read and think “That doesn’t look right”. Today is Zara’s 30th Birthday, I kept a surprised by inviting some friends over last night which I think she appreciated. We had a few drinks and played games, which is pretty standard for us. We didn’t do too much…

Summoning…something
Came into the living room this morning to find this. I’m sure this is some form of ritual summoning wherein the powers combined of Marshall, Dino Bumblebee, and Chase will bring about the Rescue Bots superpower.

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.…
