It is one of life’s great ironies for a dark chocolate lover that the dark Ferrero Rocher is the least nice one of the three options in their selection box. … Doesn’t mean I’m not going to eat it.

Day #113 Separating the men from the boys
I have a confession to make: I’m seriously arachnophobic. Actually, that’s not quite accurate. I’m seriously bug-o-phobic. If it creeps, crawls, or flies and has more than two legs I’m probably not a fan. I can, with some focus, allow a ladybug to crawl along my hand and let a butterfly land on me. But…
Day #112 Physio
Had another appointment this morning to keep an eye on my ankle and to work out some neck and shoulder issues, and was reminded of this video from the weekend. Nothing escapes the toddler’s curiosity. Not even physio exercises! He had to have a go.
Day #111 Textures
We spent some time tossing around handfuls of cherry blossom petals in the breeze this evening. Hard to believe that one upon a time this kid wouldn’t even stand on a grassy surface with his shoes on! He’s always been unusually neat (for a toddler) and fussy about textures. It took us months to get…
Day #110 Peace be with you
Attending a religious service with a small child can be a beautiful, uplifting, inspiring, and a very, very stressful experience. It’s been a while since I’ve done it and I have to say after today I’m not in a hurry to do it again soon. Last time, in fact, Hawkeye was not yet fully walking and…
#109 Keep Calm and Call for Help
It had to happen sometime. A public toddler meltdown in a restaurant. In the list of parenting nightmares, this is pretty high on everyone’s list after the really serious stuff, like trips to the emergency room, kids dashing into the street while you’re wrestling with unfolding the stroller, or wandering out of your line of…
Day #108 Thirteen (16) Years
Day #107 It was a massacre…
A pie massacre: it’s what happens when you suffer an epic failure trying to transfer a slice of pie from the tray to your plate. Good thing it’s still just as tasty in its mangled state because pie, even a massacred one, fixes a lot of problems. You have a problem? Have some pie. You’ll…
Day #105 Auto Awesome
I don’t seem to get tired of taking photos of the Grand Canal Dock. I snapped the photo on top on my way to physio this morning while walking up the back of the Canal basin over the locks. I didn’t really have any special feature in mind but the day was feeling springy and…
Day #104 A photo for a photo’s sake
I don’t know if I’ve just never noticed this plant before in our courtyard entrance or if it’s a new landscaping addition. Either way, I noticed the colours coming home today and was intrigued by the image. My husband actually had to pop his head back outside to see if I had gotten lost as…
Day #103 A Grand Soft Day
It is crisp and breezy. The trees around the worn out basketball court are rustling (actually, I want to use my favourite word that I learned from Terry Pratchett here – susurrating). The sky is mostly grey but is occasionally punctuated by diffused sunshine that makes it through the thinner parts of the cloud cover.…
