Just a girl. Trying to figure a few things out.
A bit over 12 years ago I was so lucky to see my second solar eclipse in totality. We had driven up into the cairns hinterland in an attempt to avoid coastal cloud. You can see how close we were to missing it. Once an eclipse tragic, always a tragic.

My kids have possibly never watched Sesame Street. This feels somewhat outrageous given the amount of children’s media they do consume…
And now I feel like I need to source them some Super Ted and Raggydolls…

There’s a lot of thunder rolling around up there at the moment, and I’m feeling very comfortable enjoying it from inside.

I had a flashback this morning to a time when “space buns” were called “bunches”. It was a simpler time, and I realise I miss it. And bunches.
