I prefer the term childlike to childish, it had a more mature ring to it. To me I'm me. Determined, understanding with a little bit of a temper. I'm married and have children. I also have a brother and two sisters, I work in a school with various kids who need a little extra help, one way or another. And to all those people I imagine that I'm someone slightly different, depending on their needs. Once you read me I will become, to you, who you need me to be.
Let's Go Diem the Carpe!

The covid-19 survey in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017

Behemoth v the small in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
I am now the proud owner of a treadmill. It was a smooth pickup, albeit as far from us in this town as it’s possible to get without leaving! I knew it would be a close call to fit it in the car...
To file under things done today!! in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017

Homework, schoolwork whatever work! in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017

All my pain in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017

Well, except R, though he will be working from home by tomorrow or Thursday. It’s been a lovely day; warm sun and the window open, the sounds of spring. I still have a sweater and a bobble hat o...

Tempting fate... in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017

Surveyage in Hot town, summery in the city - 2017
White or red wine? I’m not a wine lover unless my dad has bought it - he buys good wine and then I really don’t mind which as they’re all good. Who was the last person you hugged? I may or may no...
