Two dogs, one bairn, one job in coffee.
Every time I walk past this picture at Pets Corner, I think Beetle has got a massive tongue.

Edith has always kept to herself, mainly sleeping on one of the beds upstairs. Then over Christmas, we brought this chair downstairs for added seating… it’s her chair now.

My daughter, as we walked through the museum: “daddy look, Santa’s reindeer!”

With hindsight, prob should have skipped this section today.

Did the fish steal this writer’s girl or something?

Kids book authors - please consider the animal names used and whether tiny humans can correctly pronounce them.

Booked the bairn’s first trip abroad - taking the ferry to Amsterdam in November. To celebrate, baked a Dutch apple pie that she bugged me all day to help with then immediately got bored and wandered off halfway through step one of the process. Toddlers.

Julia Donaldson: I’m going to have a butterfly narrate my new book, you’re ok drawing them right?
Axel Scheffler: oh sure, I have their human faces nailed.

The level of effort it’s taking to not crack these open while I wait around for my delayed trains is Herculean.

Post work-event decompress in one of my favourite bars, King’s Arms in Bethnal Green. Reminds me of The Free Trade in Newcastle at its buzzy best, the beer is always excellent and the vibe is immaculate.

We’ve got a new dog walker since I’m out travelling more again. They often take a group to a field and just let them Gan Acka. Edie’s photos are often good but today’s was a particular corker.

West London is a wasteland, so…

Concerted effort to make here the default nonsense sharing app. Seem to be spending my life on trains the past few weeks. I’m London again tonight, pint?

Definitely a respectful and reasonable method of conserving old buildings. It’ll be like nothing’s changed.

Didn’t realise One Piece filmed on location in Flavourtown.

Recently, every time I have a beer or two in the eve the bairn wakes up and does a split night. Excited to get up with her at 2am.
