A Father’s Day.
A long time coming. I’ll preface this by saying this will make a handful of people unhappy but it has been playing on my mind for the last week or so, distracting me from work and day to day life, as Father’s Day approached. I need to post this. Content warning? I’d add emotional abuse/manipulation…

Spring colours
Today is definitely the first time I have felt springtime year. Walking out on the dog walk just now, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was late afternoon. And in 15 minutes, it’s turn a shade darker. The colours of Balgay Cemetery hit me as Chew-dog and I walked through. This morning on the way…

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.

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! 😲
