Watching the kids' cricket with a gorgeous view over the Clent Hills, beautiful weather and a lovely chill vibe

Only thing missing is my headphones - I'm meant to be doing my OT Podcast Club listening tonight 🤦

Trying to finalise an international Eurovision platter based on the countries the family are supporting

The mix of San Marino, Armenia, Austria, Latvia and Lithuania is proving a little tricky...

Tonight I'm trying to multi-task #eurovision and a sensory processing tutorial. There's a chance this is too much for my brain to manage
🤯

Supporting a team who play 120 miles away from where I live is a bit bonkers, but it does mean that coming to games is automatically special

AND they're winning!

City 1-0 Brightlingsea

Tonight I've got OT Podcast Club (like a book club but we listen to podcasts) but my life is so chaotic that my brain can't keep up and I think I'm just going to talk jibberish!

Thankfully the group is lovely and I might just get away with quietly drinking wine and pretending my mic is broken...

I can't remember which of my kids started the habit of parking on the top floor of any car park, but I'm grateful to them because I secretly love the views. Possibly influenced by too much Mary Poppins as a kid

Day tripping back to reminisce in the 'breej where the land is flat, the wind is icy and the kids playground obstacles have cup holders...

Celebrating New Year in style at our house

Midnight Party is the ONLY game for ringing in the new year

Hope everyone has a lovely 2025

😁

We spent yesterday's solstice going up Long Mynd - it was VERY windy, really cold and a bit drizzly

So why did the kids want...

Ice cream, of course

🤷🍦🥶

Doing 'German Christmas Market at home' because we're too skint and antisocial for the real one

Turns out our key elements are sausage, squirty cream on mulled wine, profertjes... and Mr Bean
🤷🎄🎅🎄🤷

At the youngest's carols

It's freezing

The pa system isn't really working

I can barely see my kid

I REALLY don't enjoy child choirs

The recorder group is about to do jingle bells

I'm trying so hard not be be scrooge and remember it's all lovely
LOVELY
🎄🎄🎄🎄

Because of the weather I've put up ALL the Christmas lights indoors.

It's very colourful

One room is glowing so blue it looks like the scene of an alien encounter

🤞in January our eyes aren't permanently scarred

Am out with the Sandwell EIP peeps, gatecrashing the Walsall EIP Christmas do

I can't tell whether I can't hear anything because I'm old and everything's too loud, or because I've had a bunged ear for a week

But everyone looks like they're having fun 😂

Had a nostalgic day in Cambridge yesterday. Showed the kids where hubby and I met, took them across the mathematical bridge or as they say 'the bridge from Ludwig' 😂

Then went to City's first match at their new home. Immense atmosphere, great people, fab new Shed. Loved it and will defo be back

Dipping my toe in new social media... 🧐
Not sure yet whether this is just OT stuff or I'm knocking down the work/life boundary, so bear with me if it's a bit muddled
