28 JAN 26

Morning begins with the cat exploding out of our hanging clothes rack spooked by probably nothing at all... he's been looking for Puck everywhere apparently...

And with his master's foreign campaign now five percent complete... we start another day under a crunch of frosting-white snow...

Both cars gone for the morning spinning south and west for various commitments...

Back for the afternoon where Yali is busy dramatically faking death after eye drops have been administered to his itchy winter weather eyes... amongst other items of distraction intended to avoid more long division... “Yali stop stepping on your calculator”...

Classes hum out into snow play and hot cocoa for the tots as dinner approaches... sausages in rolls before Patience and I leave for the studio and Yali's caught shirtless in suspenders emptying the remains of the mustard bottle directly into his mouth...

Gone in the blue light of evening snows as Patience chats the entire drive about various TV romances currently in her viewing repertoire...

Ninety minutes later she bounces out the studio door with all the big news from class such as... “Nancy got two lids on her Panda Express!”...
