Kids decorated our little xmas tree, but I left the batteries in the lights all year, so they’re ruined.
I think I might have binned the star lights I usually hang in the window - a relief as they cause a disproportionate amount of stress untangling and hanging them.
“Volcano with exploding baked bean and cheese lava” for lunch.
Big kid is getting one of his five a day.
Little kid not interested (despite his love of volcanoes, lava and baked beans).
Breathing calmed down so went for a short walk to the corner shop with Kid A where he bought a can of baked beans with his own cash.
Then we walked around the long block talking about how those beans are now his beans, what would happen to the beans if I reimbursed him with a bank transfer, what he could do with a bottomless backpack, the striking similarity between the Chinese lion adorning a neighbour’s drive wall and the Chinese lions outside the Chinese restaurant in Spilsby, and how Lime bikes are taking over the world.
Breathless!
A million housewives every day
Pick up a can of beans and say
“What an amazing example of
Synchronisation!”
Or in my case, “£1.59?! What a rip-off!”
Retreated to the relative safety of the bedroom where I’m finding solace with Radiohead and OK Computer on a loop.

Wife wants to know what I think about the Assisted Dying Bill.
She’s strongly in favour: “It can’t come soon enough for some people,” she says.
I bought an acupressure mat (bed of “nails”) a couple of months ago to help with back pain, relaxation and hopefully to help give me a bit more energy.
I used it for half an hour or so a couple of times a week, while listening to music, and it helped with all of those things.
I hadn’t used it for a month, though, due to not feeling well with one thing and another.
Today I fell into a deep sleep after half an hour on it and had to crawl into bed for another ninety minutes. Still feeling groggy.
I celebrated Thanksgiving only once in my life, and it was certainly memorable.
Looking at The Royal Observatory in Greenwich for my space obsessed four year old. No under fives!
(They do have a special “Ted’s Space Adventure” for 4-7 year olds, but it looks naff and he wants to see the real thing.)
[@Denny](https://micro.blog/Denny) [@antonzuiker](https://micro.blog/antonzuiker) my four year old is obsessed with the solar system and Jupiter in particular. He would love this!
