I have so much to say about ‘Here We Are’ and I still need time to sort out the words … but -spoiler- I AM VERKLEMPT!

Dreams sometimes do come true.
A split image: the top image is of the infamous ‘Shining’ twins in their blue dresses. The bottom images are of two Italian Greyhounds standing side by side in a similarly playful manner.

I woke up to Monty pulling my hair so this feels deserved.

This photo of my boys is probably the best photo I have ever taken. I look at it and cry at its perfection because my heart becomes too full of joy.

Ignore the sock.
Two Italian greyhounds facing a white door. The larger one is a greying fawn colour and standing up - tail alert. No, he hasn’t had a BBL, he has tumours on his bum that just look that way (they have no effect on his quality of life and are under the vet’s observation). The smaller dog is a reddish fawn and is sitting under the larger dog near his back legs. He is bravely looking in the same direction as his older brother, but is hesitant to engage with whoever is beyond the door. A white and blue striped sock sits nearby, forgotten.

The perfect NYE doesn’t exi-
Screenshot of my instagram story showing my laptop to the left with Wicked on the screen (with an arrow labelling it), a whisky to the right (arrow also labelling it), and the top of Bertie’s head peaking out of the duvet (with an arrow labelling him). The whisky is Jura, the Bertie is not yet snoring, and we’re just about to go the Emerald City in Wicked.

Oh noooo … as a massive Kubrick and a massive Iannucci fan … the stage version of ‘Dr Strangelove’ is not it. 😬

Photograph of a blank cinema screen because I do not take photos during movies. There is a pinkish light hitting the right of the screen and the back of seats in front of me can be seen at the bottom of the photo.

I finally finished the oversized cardigan I started crocheting in September - it is as warm and cozy as I hoped 🥰
