Today I was reminded of how much I hate wasps. Whatever ecological purpose they serve, I fully endorse finding alternative providers. Extinction required.

The little monkey! T was practising the word “sorry” at 7am this morning.

Stick Man, oh Stick Man! Beware of the… bath!

Many companies have a rule that no more than 2/x executives/ministers can be on the same flight, in case there’s a disaster.

The same applies to Elephant I and Elephant II, who shall always be kept in separate luggage, should one bag go missing.

“Oh no!”
Oh god, what now?!

Struggling today! A key reason for being oneanddad is to be able to progress through the various stages of parenthood without having to partially start all over again. Soon he'll get himself out of bed and make his own breakfast... in my slightly sore head anyway.

Daddy’s on a work trip! 🇯🇵

It’s time for the secret meeting of the curry club.

Ok, you can all be in on this secret, but T cannot know!

Takeaway incoming!

Help! My son appears to be identifying as a hosepipe! - One and Dad Lid or no lid, there’s nothing to stop him! Well, we could just not give him water (or anything else to drink), but that would be just a little extreme*.

Snow covered fields beside a road in southern Scotland

Snow-covered fields beside the road, with snowy hills and a lake in the distance.

Scotland or Sweden?!

Snowy scenes across the Pentland Hills and South Lanarkshire yesterday. A stunning drive that I’d love to do again in the summer while carrying more speed through corners.

Pentland Hills also a great racehorse that’s won me decent money before 🤭

New year, new me, etc.

WTAF, BBC Scotland?!

No fireworks in Edinburgh, so you replay last year’s rather than show the ones in London?

Happy new year, anyway!

New Year’s resolution? Don’t let this happen. 🤦‍♂️

Been a non-negotiable stop every time we’re here for years. So good!

#StAndrews #burger

Yes, @gtfc.bsky.social, get in! Keep it up! #UTM

#OutOut in Glasgow. Child-free for a night! Love it! 🍻

Quarter of a tub of treeselets here.😳

The storm before the calm.

Packing, repacking, finding hidden presents, wrapping, preparing the car, repacking, double-checking…

But tomorrow, a few hours on the motorway, ‘Dynamic mode’ on 🏎️ - plenty of time to unwind en route to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ve reached the ‘building in the night’ stage of parenting.

Car seat mirror x Volvo headrest + tired parent = utter confusion x frustration^2

A box of packets of Cadbury’s Mini Eggs in a convenience store.

Spotted 13th December.

Yaaaas! I think 🙈

I bloody love a Hazy Jane.

Time for bed now though.
