26 JAN 26

It's a massacre site that morning stepping into a cold living room... Puck's cat has... once again... been very very busy and the mouse guts strewn across the floor suggest that he was most successful most successful indeed...

So while Oxbear cleans that up... and more problems in the basement from the dog... it's meanwhile about seventeen below outdoors and no one's going anywhere today...

Yali is taking this Snow Day opportunity to go full pirate... he's staggering across the living room in his best Jack Sparrow impression swigging from a repurposed kombucha bottle... “Mom we need more rum... you can write on your list : apple juice”...

After the kids toss themselves around in the snow for awhile... very briefly really... in a sun-frozen afternoon...

They're back inside asking for chocolate ice cream...

And somehow it's dark again already and Patience is finding her usual nightly four excuses to come out of bed after she's been tucked in for the night... tonight it's “I've got glass in my foot!”...
