Leftie, travel junkie, amateur chef & trainee dungeon master. Man City fan. Folkie and gamer.
Aspire to be a film nerd but invariably hate the classics.
Husband to a wonderful wife. Father to an adorable son.
Bit of light story-time reading for my three month old.

Pretty sure I got the idea of just reading anything to him as long as it’s in ‘the right tone’ from ‘three men and a baby’

I’m 5’10”

I get that this is also an accessibility issue but there has to be a better solution.

Why doesn’t the whole changing table sit on an adjustable wall mount?

As it stands my mum doesn’t even know she’s a grandma.

No one is their parents. Everyone has flaws and I hope I recognise them whilst I’m actively parenting rather than in 20 years time - or not at all.

Whereas I watched the 2022 World Cup final on the streets of Medellin - and Colombia didn’t even qualify for the tournament.

What are arsenal fans? So during City’s worst run in what, 20 years? We’ve been living rent free in this guy’s head because of two words.

And they still won’t win the league

I saw someone saying this started as ‘you look better at thirty than twenty’

So I’m submitting 20, 30 and 3 months off 40 as hard proof that that was not true for me.

Not ten minutes ago I was being woken up by my apparently starving son who desperately needed his night feed and was making me aware I’d slept through the ‘level 1’ warning sounds.

It’s every moment that’s magical, Isn’t it? #Parenting
