Today was long and exhausting. Have a fun-coloured plant while I try to reconstitute my brain cells.

Day #166 Daddy’s little monster
The world is slowly tilting away from seeing fathers solely as “the head of the family”, “the providers”, or those cold and distant authoritarian disciplinarians to, well… seeing them as fathers, with all the guts and glory that it entails. What does that mean? Well, it means accepting fathers as full partners in this whole…
Day #165 Lesson: Why it’s bad to get eaten at the zoo
^^ Two very important lessons there, kids. 1) Don’t make the animals sick. 2) The zoo has priorities and you are not it. Thanks once again to the Google Awesome algorithm for assembling the video clip without any effort on my part. Yes, those are mud-bathing ostriches in the second video. What’s a scorcher in…
Day #164 Sound the drums!
Featured photo above property of Irish Dragon Boat Association, borrowed here exclusively for the purpose of spreading the gospel of paddle boating. I would have taken my own photo but I wasn’t bringing my phone anywhere near a potential splash zone. Or a potential fall-in-the-water zone. It’s Wellness Month at work – a corporate…
Day #163 Blooming
Day #162 Sing with me, baby
Some of you might recall the unavailability of Hawkeye’s Captain America trousers during my mad rush to locate a superhero costume a few weeks ago. Since then the trousers did eventually get laundered and I put them on Hawkeye today as they were light enough for the weather forecast and were the closest to hand…
Day #161 Wonder Woman
The Mister and I got to see Wonder Woman today in cinema and it was Wonderful. I have a new hero, and many feelings about this movie, but need more time to sort them out in my head before I can articulate anything. Edited to add: I also got to see Batman vs Superman this…
Day #160 Deep Reflections
I’ll be honest, I had more fun photographing the infinity pool at the Marker Hotel Spa than I had sitting in the Jacuzzi. And I love sitting in a Jacuzzi. I must admit, the dark minimalist decor is not terribly to my taste. It leaves me feeling that the space is a bit stark and cold where…
Day #159 Astronomers we are not
Yes, the Mister and I got out of the house on a date last night! A little pre-birthday celebration meal made possible by his mother visiting us for the weekend, which let the two of us slip away after Hawkeye’s bedtime. We had a lovely meal at Charlotte Quay which has been open for a while…
Day #158 Date night
No, really. Feck off. Nothing to see here today. I’m busy tonight.
Day #157 Waiting to ascend
Late last year the management company in our estate blocked off access to our communal garden with no warning by covering the stairs. A couple of weeks later, they belatedly got around to letting us know that an insurance inspection concluded that the stairs weren’t safe and needed to be immediately replaced. Sadly, “immediately” took…
