In 2010 I set myself a 365 day task to produce a portrait of my world every day and to run each day of the year. I did it.
In 2014 I completed four months of another resolution.
In 2022, we have become nomads and I have resurrected the blog. There are still 2 resolutions: Live life fully in many different countries and eventually find a forever home.
This is a once-weekly blog of something interesting in my life.

Day 359
Lego
Christmas Day.
Waking up to the sound of Molly vomiting in our room at 6.30, great start to the day, settling you right in reality.
Father and daughter
The rest of the day spent missing absent daughters, talking on the phone to them, crying, pulling yourself together.
Talking on the phone to other loved people, cleaning, cooking, greeting the friends who have come with goodies, feeling so glad they are your friends, glad that you have this history of several shared Christmases now.
Making lego, playing, laughing, running about, drinking mulled wine made by your son, eating delicious food, talking, watching the wonderful movie of Roald Dahl's Matilda.
Taking photographs, talking about taking photographs, giving presents, receiving gifts, having deep conversations, having interesting conversations, getting picked up by your tall son and swung around, knocking a humidifier off the table with your feet, but not being personally responsible for that.
Lovely children who know how to play and keep themselves entertained, no fights, just laughing, even when I heard them playing on the stairs, I stilled my instant "Don't play on the stairs" fears and knew they would be fine.
Altogether a lovely day, would have been perfect with the girls here.

Nick posing uncomfortably with his self-portrait.
Playing on the stairs.
End of the day.
Not a self-portrait but one by Tim with his new camera.
