One of the nice things about being a parent is that I get to walk the dog around a graveyard before I pick up the girl-child from Brownies.

I drive several hours a day, it's when I get to listen to podcasts. The moment they become video-focused they lose me.

They should stop filming podcasts, the whole point is it's supposed to be an audio media, too many are unlistenable now because they have to describe what's going on for the audio listeners.

At about 11:30pm we spotted a gap in the clouds and dragged the kids out of bed to see the #Geminids . We managed to see a fair few meteors before the clouds came back to spoil the fun.

Always a hateful journey, especially Southbound as it seems to take forever. Can't blame getting stuck behind the tartan blanket 30mph set either, I've driven this route with clear roads at 5am and it still felt like it took four days.
