Hey!

Hi buddy. Sorry, I've not written this for a while - lots going on. You're a walker now! A runner, even! You have some words, too! I'm so proud of you I could just about burst like a balloon. You have just started at nursery, and are liking it I think. Mum is off in London doing her work thing today, so I'm holding the fort. I feel OK - pretty tired, but fine. You had me up and doing at 0705 today - no rest for the wicked, eh?

I have been meaning to compile a few bits of advice on things that life will throw at you when you're older, which I should start writing in earnest now, because I have no idea whether I'll get to the end of it. Maybe on a separate blog? I'll think about it. I just want you to be able to think: 'Hmm - xyz is happening - I wonder what Dad would have done in this situation?' Kind of like a 'cheat sheet' for life, really. Cos, you know, I've done some stuff, and not all of it turned out as expected, or seemed really important at the time, but now I'm a grown-up, I know it isn't.
