1.What did you do in 2024 that you’d never done before? Travelled to Lapland and rode in a sled with huskies. 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Ish. Very ish. And always it keeps me focused. 3. Did anyone close to you give birth? No … Read More
Today we all had skiing lessons before the final festive meal in the evening. The Bonsai Kaiju and Britney go each week to the Dry Slope near them so they were well away and The Smol Dragon relished having his own teacher so he was well away too. In fact given he’s only had a … Read More
We got up late and sledged and The Princess made more ice baubles because she’s always wanted to and it’s never been cold enough. Though overnight it snowed so we found out that that thing they say about snow being insulating is genuinely true – the ice baubles under the snow didn’t freeze overnight because … Read More
We are in The Arctic Circle and I am incredibly excited about that fact. That and the Aurora Borealis last night has me massively excited, The Princess is too, and Britney I think – I mean on a different level to the kids.

These moments are few and far between and though they aren’t exclusively sexual that remains the place I am closest to having baseline human normal emotions. I am trying to do this whole unmasking thing by acknowledging my emotions as they … Read More
And brace. Strictly has no same sex couples this season. Well maybe the celebrities asked didn’t match up for that to be a thing? I wouldn’t stress about it except that they released a statement saying it was because they wanted to return to traditional something or others… what? Values? Good old fashioned homophobia? ‘Traditional’, … Read More
It’s the utter waves like water of The Swamp that I hate. Woke up this morning with more apologies than a Canadian and figured that that really was going to be it for today. I’m just incredibly sad with no reason why. Trying to explain what I do for work is miserable, there’s always been … Read More
