Craft kits and washing and a tent in the garden
Yet another item out of the marvellous Baker Ross review box to start the day – Pirate boats. He’s following the instructions beautifully isn’t he? Although truth be told, the real hit from this box has been the toilet putty. No, I don’t know why either. Then the rest of the day evaporated in a…
Sticky hair and other things

The boy in the bubble.
This afternoon, we spent some time in the garden. Small children, sunshine, bubbles. When I took a closer look, turned out there was more to the picture than met the eye. Yes, there he is. My little boy in a bubble.
Every man is born as many men, and dies as a single one.
No, I’m not sure what it means either, but I liked it. It was at the end of tonight’s episode of NCIS – Seasons 1-8 Box Set [DVD](affiliate). We’re on season 7, I think, so still a fair bit of catching up to go. It was somewhere around here though that I stopped watching a…
