    Feels like I’ve been going flat out even after settlement day, so this is the first chance I’ve had the space and energy to have a little celebration.
    Couple of dishes from the little Chinese cafe which is a bit of a local institution, the bottle of bubbly the estate agent gave me when we sold the house, and sitting down to finally watch Bridgerton. Ahhh.

    Jeez. Massive house fire a few doors down in kew.

    Thing just collapsed in front of us all…

    Everyone safe.

    Poor cop telling everyone to stay away. Not an easy task when there are 200 people watching on she gave up.

      Jeez that’s what the structure fire warning I saw earlier today was… middle of a hike and got to a rare spot with phone reception and an unexpected ping.

    Up early today. Cleaned house (family effort), mowed the lawn, went to the gym, had GyG for dinner…now chillaxing with beers with my feet up.

    Gotta appreciate the little things.

      Bad dad, no.

      Bad partner…maybe.

      Parenting is full of mistakes and misjudgments.

      You and your wife are in the same team and need a united front.

      One fucks up, the other fixes it.

      It gets worse when kids become toddlers and older.

      Take it on the chin, help out and keep it in your pocket as a favour in the future 😁

      I used to stay up late and play video games with my son next to me on the couch when he was little.

      You got this mate.

      Lie on your bed with baby in your arms. Breath slowly and rhythmically to imitate sleep . Baby will copy and fall asleep.

    I trimmed my beard, shaved, gave myself a haircut, showered and was seconds away from booking a room up on the border for the night but then all of my motivation just fell away. I might just stay home and save my money, then go for a drive and find some mountains and start a new audiobook tomorrow just for a day out.

    I do need to source some lunch though.

    Even though I’ve been back in Perth a few years now, Aldi’s snow week here still amuses me:

    None of the snow gear moves at all. This stuff would have been gone in the first few hours in Melbourne. I think this is actually the second week, too!
