Yeah, I have nothin’ today. This photo is from this past weekend, but it pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole week.

Day #268 ♥ What a good morning looks like ♥
Apropos to yesterday’s post, we were back on even keep this morning, together with Guard Bear keeping a watchful eye on Conor the Camel.
Day #262 Up close and personal
We were at the zoo again today. I’ll spare you the details write about the details in another post, but there was one thing on our way out that deserves its own story. We were on the way out at the zoo’s main entrance and exit, which is a wide platform with a deck-like extension…
Day #253 Derailment
We apologise for the interruption, but this evening’s service of steady, measured, insightful writing will instead be supplanted by slightly inappropriate frivolity. I did actually have a plan for tonight’s post. It involved a particular tree and some childhood nostalgia, but instead I accidentally got sucked into an epic Facebook debate in a group for…
Day #252 The Great Mystery of Parenthood
I could talk about the Great Mystery of how parents function on week after month (after year!) of interrupted sleep. Or the Great Mystery of how we get any adult stuff done around the endless child-related responsibilities. I mean, the busiest childless lifestyle will feel feels like a luxurious, leisurely siesta after one introduces kids…
Day #246 Gone bananas
Hawkeye insisted on walking home today which meant that passing by the shop without going in was guaranteed to provoke a tantrum. Thankfully, he has learned to accept that “ice cream” comes from the fridge at home, not the shop, and can once again be bribed to exit the shop eating just a banana and…
Day #245 First signs of autumn
“The summer sun is fading as the year grows old And darker days are drawing near The winter winds will be much colder Now you’re not here…” “Forever Autumn” by Jeff Wayne, Gary Osborne and Paul Vigrass, 1972
Day #242 Poetic humour
We were back in the zoo today, and I am completely exhausted now from all the walking and excitement of the weekend. I will finish off the description of our trip another night when I have more energy. However I did want to share this little gem today. We now frequently end up going to…
Day #239 The morning after*
7:00 am: Stretch arms up and out while getting dressed. Oooh, surprisingly not feeling last evening’s workout in the abs. Legs not sore either! Yay! 7:01 am: Why are my legs, arms, and abs not sore? They should be sore. I actually tried to do all the exercises right and I’m out of shape so…
Day #238 Hello, old friend
or: Back In The Saddle Again Oh yoga, I’ve missed you. It’s been far too long. The flexibility is still there (elastic bands for muscles, anyone?) but the muscle strength needs to be rebuilt again. While I’m at it, I’m also delighted that I didn’t faceplant the pavement the very second I got off the…
Day #233 Creature comforts
Sometimes when you’re mind-numbingly exhausted, all you need to unwind are a fleece blanket, a cup of tea, and a purring puddle of fur.
