8 times around the sun. I won’t wax lyrical beyond saying she had a fabulous birthday and she’s pretty damn awesome, I love her. She’s bright, cheeky and a bit of a know-it-all, unfortunately with that she’s also often right so I can’t even shut her down with a ‘but mumma knows best’. She asks…

Day Out
A couple of weeks ago we had a wonderful trip out to the hills with the puppy. It is a good time of year to go as the forest wasps aren’t out yet. We did a lovely 5km tramp. Puppy has grown a lot since these pics but he’s a great motivator to get out…

Watching – The Handmaids Tale. It’s brilliant and horrifying at the same time and in equal measure. It astonishes me that the book was written in the 80’s and yet resonates so hard today. As a contrast to that I like catching up on Code Black for my fun medical drama fix. Eating – more…
