That cat was very insistent that going outside was not negotiable. But her enthusiasm waned pretty quickly when she actually experienced the snow.

I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to be in charge but sometimes Molly is pretty determined that fusses are due regardless of whatever I have planned.

This is a public safety announcement. I just received this email on Christmas Eve minus one. Do not under any circumstances buy your other half a router for Christmas. Not if you wish to live and eat solid foods over the holiday period. That is all.

It’s taken us a week to get the tree up (everyone was ill in every way imaginable) but it’s finally done. Even the churlish teenager has helped and been grooving along to various Christmas songs while we decorated it.

I’ve read the instructions several times and I’m still struggling to understand the concept of leftover wine that I am apparently supposed to add this to.

These two old work horses have finally been replaced. Almost 2 decades of supplying rock solid networking for the house. Let’s see if the new eero’s can live up to their predecessors reputation.
Changing all the damn Alexa devices and smart plugs has taken all day.

My son works at a charity shop now and again. He rescued this cuddly toy from going into the rag waste bin. I’m a bit concerned it might come alive and murder us all in our sleep…

Molly is very keen to keep us all pinned down since we came back from our holiday. Can’t even tempt her off my knee with treats… so must be serious

My wife seems to have booked us a gingerbread cabin in the woods for our final few days in Norway. Though the view out front is pretty good 😊

2 hours ago it was wall to wall cloud cover. But a snowy Tromso in the sunshine is pretty spectacular

Oslo is a lovely city. Though the floating sauna cabins that people rent out and then dive off into the fjord do seem a bit too adventurous for me. Mind you they do have this view.

Looking at the weather at your holiday destination for the days before you arrive and seeing this… might have to re-think the packing plan

I do love our Cercis tree. It’s a striking thing in full leaf but as it succumbs to autumn the way the colour change starts in its heart and works outwards is heart warming.
