- I hope you all had a good Christmas.
- Mine was really wonderful. Lots of family over and I cooked Christmas dinner with my mum who is a really knowledgeable cook but also, critically, has the same opinions as me about eg the right way to cut carrots. Probably not a coincidence as I grew up eating her carrots which were of, of course, cut length-ways into batons. Cooking with mum was really a highlight. Thanks mum!
- Chaz got a large 3D printed race track (AKA ārace mountainā) which Lachie has been working on for months. He is the happiest guy in Brighton right now and will remain so for the foreseeable.
- Eās top gift was Charlie and The Christmas Factory which a friend got her. E has been so engrossed in it that Iāve had to wrestle it from her at bed-time more than once.
- Iāve started listening to the audiobook of Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut. Kurt Vonnegut is my brotherās favourite author and Iāve put off reading any, even though my brother is an enigma and Iām always interested in what he likes and doesnāt like, because I donāt like Science Fiction. Or at least I thought I didnāt because (i am silly and) I thought it was all about robots? And aliens? Anyway donāt judge me. Anyway - I like Galapagos.
- I am slowly making a September coat from M&M. Itās wool, and lined, so quite a big job but Iāve nearly completed it. I made a lot of progress this week mainly because the kids have been entertaining one another with basically no intervention from me.
