Husband is happy

There’s a photo of us somewhere holding hands on the first day of school in the UK, aged 4. Now she lives in Bangkok and I live in Australia. Last week, this happened. Hold on to your childhood friends.

Christmas trees only fulfil their potential when covered with naff family ornaments that evoke happy times past and embarrass teenaged children along the way and I will have no truck with your fancy colour-co-ordinated deccos. This is a hill I will die on.

So the youngest heads off for her last day at school before moving to a new place for years 10,11 and 12. Ending always come suddenly, however long planned.

Awards time here in AU.

This time for lawyers <30 y.o.
286 finalists were announced this week.
With 90,000 lawyers in AU, 18% of whom are <30, that works out at 1 in 56 eligible lawyers across the entire country being a finalist.

Make of that what you will.

That’s Christmas sorted then.

Dream #bookshelves THAT GO OVER THE DOOR. First thing we did when we moved in 7 years ago. Made the place feel like home. Also the biggest #TBR pile. Recipe for a little daily happiness.

I really hope companies don’t open accounts on Bluesky. Esp law firms. Corporate messaging was an awkward fit with Twitter and I wouldn’t welcome it back here. Anyone disagree?

Hello again. Feels nice to be back. Who knew you could so miss a bunch of peeps from across the world you’ve never met or spoken to?
