As I predicted, my nephew’s glasses didn’t last for long. My husband went to sit on the couch one evening when there was a resounding snap. He reached beneath him and pulled out my nephew’s glasses, which had shattered down the middle completely. I called my nephew over from the dishwasher and gave him a …
The journey to the shoreline ended rather abruptly. As their group passed beneath one final copse of trees, Gunnar had lifted his hands to the sky and shouted, “Behold!” Lorcan’s eyes widened to the size of pudding bowls. He had watched his clan’s local artist sketch pictures of boats with chalk before, but seeing the …
Kane whistled from beneath his hard hat, leaning against the steel girder he was supposed to be welding to take in the metropolis spread out underneath him. ‘Would you look at that view?’ he marvelled to nobody in particular. ‘Pretty nice, isn’t it?’ came a voice from behind him. Kane twisted around as far …
I caught something strange on camera. Something that I can’t, and potentially don’t want, to explain. I’m not sure what I saw yet but whatever it was, I don’t think it was good. It is too much for my narrow-minded brain to consider and if I didn’t potentially see it with my own eyes, then …
Picking up from where I left off on my last blog post, construction had just been halted and my kids were without a shower and a bathroom. It was bad at the start having to share a shower between the four of us, but having to share a bathroom as well was a pain. I …
It’s been 87,660 hours since global cooling hit the world. Snow is everywhere these days and there is no longer any concept of the seasons. There is only one season and that season is cold. I’m fortunate enough to remember a life before global cooling. I remember the feeling of the seasons changing, the transition …
After literal years of renting crappy apartments, I’m finally moving into my own house! I’m so happy I could run out into the street and scream. I’m sure my neighbours would look at me weirdly, but who cares? I’m never going to see them again. And what a relief that is. No more neighbours hitting …
My son has recently started primary school. After two years of kindergarten, he was so excited to finally become a ‘big boy’ at school, and eagerly dons his uniform every morning. His teachers tell me he’s already made lots of friends, and I’m pleased to report that he seems to be one of the smartest …
Decorating my son’s room has been a challenge. I feel like if he was born twenty years ago it would have been so much easier. I could just decorate the room with stereotypical male things and then be done. It would be so easy for me to just stick up some dinosaur wallpaper and be …
I am exhausted waiting for the news and trying to be a good friend. I hope I can have a better update for you sometime soon, but I don’t think I will. It feels like time is passing by so slowly now whilst we wait for him to wake up. In the time he’s been …
