After 6 years of loss and failure, 2024 is the year I give up on the hope of being a mam again. I am broken by it and can’t face what would have been the final embryo transfer. Not so much a Happy New Year but hopefully one where I find peace with my decision.

My head hurts reading the Israeli interpretations of Irish history. It’s disturbing to see so much pseudohistory deployed in order to [as our president noted] declare everyone Irish, everywhere, ‘antisemitic’.

Small boy has asked Santa to get him a Robin teddy… and it must be holding a candy cane. I’m quite prepared to buy a Robin and stick a candy cane onto him but before I do that, has anybody seen such a thing?!
