Week 2: Threenager.

  • M became a threenager this week. We celebrated by taking the train in to a very rainy Manchester to buy the only present he asked for – “a squeezy yoghurt from M&S” – and then we visited the library and got the tram home.
  • We started potty training – so far not going well and he declared that when he has an accident it makes him feel “warm and cosy”.
  • We had a big planning day at work for Q4 which I helped do the kick off for – people seemed to enjoy it and I think we’re going to build some really good stuff in the next few months.
  • I’ve been making a custom record cabinet on and off since the summer – this weekend my Dad brought it up from his workshop ready for me to do the final varnishing and glue together. With a bit of luck it’ll be done in the next couple of weeks. In my infinite wisdom I thought this could be done inside a week when I was off in the summer but it turns out making custom furniture is tricky and time-consuming when you have things like a job and a family.
