Hello! How’s the week treated you? I hope you’re all good, but even if you’re not, let’s put the world to rights. If we were were having coffee show you my favourite picture from this week. Isla decided my wheels needed redone. I was very happy with them. Some things: If she says she’s experimenting, she doesn’t get in trouble. She knows my favourite colour. We have rolls of wallpaper for her painting experiments. Next time this happens, I’m gonna…
If we were having coffee and ask you how your week’s been treating you? I’d tell you I looked in the mirror this week, and it’s actually dawned on me that I’m actually 36. My kid is nearly 3. Next month, Neil and I are married four years. Seems longer. And not long enough. Did I mention that I spilled coffee on Frank the laptop and I’m back on Truman the Giant Desk Top?

And please don’t post that egg video on Facebook. In other news, what music do you listen to while taking down the Christmas tree?…
If we were having coffee, I’d say thank you. Thank you for meeting me at a coffee table, at the other end of a screen, on a curb, or on my couch. Thank you for reading my rambles. Thanks for the books, and the butterfly magnets and the mural. Thanks for beers, real or fake, and the ones I owe you. Thanks for the Altoids and the Beatles. Even the unsolicited advice. It makes for good material. Thanks for those…
