Kids say such precious things.

9y old: Dad, when you die I won't bury you in the ground. I'll leave you in the back garden to see what it's like when the ants eat you.

Schadenfreude in 2025 is seeing moss spoiling someone's plastic lawn

I'm so irked when start-up founders add up their collective age on their pitch-deck and claim they have "120 years experience".

#Cardiff you splendid little city

I'm old and out-of-touch enough to always be surprised that I can use the toilets at Paddington without needing 20p for a turnstile

Extra early. Extra cold 🥶
Off to London to check out QM BioEnterprises #Innovation Centre

Hands up if you fell on ice this morning #Cardiff 🙋

It's so special taking the kids around places you remember as a child. Crumbs Cafe in Morgans Arcade was Mum's go-to when we were children #Cardiff

The Bird After the death of their mother, U-mi and her little br…

Oddly this post reminded me that I read a book called The Bird back in 2007. For a sec I thought this film was an adaptation of the book. Turns out they're two separate stories, both on themes of childhood neglect, with (almost) the same name

The strongest recommendation I can give is that my hard copy is absolutely covered in notes and highlighter 😂

Immediately thinking of this passage 👇

I'm forever referring back to Born For Love @maiasz.bsky.social

Me too, Santa.

Our kids were a bit slow on the uptake of female pronouns because we are a household of he/hims. Extra confused by Welsh language for she:hi being pronounced "he".

The other day 4 felt he'd finally got the hang of it and told me:

'Dad, if someone is a woman you call him "she"'

So close 🤣

Re-read His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman in 2024. This is the quote that stuck with me all year and I'll be remembering it in 2025

"-good and evil are names for what people do, not for what they are."

Bargain #Cardiff

Say what you will about Aldi. Supermarkets are horrible with young kids and it makes it a lot more bearable when there is no in-store radio playing

Apparently 4-y-old sees us as a smiley household.

All the proof I need that if you love eachother, then you're a family ❤️

Been cycling between Cathays and Heath a lot for work - #sbarc 🔄 #Medicentre

#Cardiff cycle lanes make it so easy and enjoyable - we are so luck to have them 🚴🌳

Reminded that last year the Woolworths signage was briefly exposed in Canton. A place my nan used to take me to browse pencil cases #Cardiff @ilovesthediff.bsky.social

Watched 4 Weddings & a Funeral for the first time in decades!

Forgotten it was the first time I'd seen two men in love (alway on the condition that it ended in tragedy 🤦)

Also seeing how completely white the cast was with hindsight.

Overall, still charming.

#sbarc right now is so festive. A bit bonkers. Definitely somewhere people love to be part of ♥️

(Just look at that candy-cane pillar!) #Cardiff #Innovation

Applied some therapeutic parenting at work recently.

My team had disappointing and frustrating news. A senior colleague started firing off a dozen solutions.

I explained that he didn't need to fix it. If he acknowledged how everyone was feeling he'd be equipping us to fix it ourselves.

Throwback to finding bits of an ancient South Wales Echo stuffed in the walls of our house #Cardiff

Melancholy music in December is so underrated.
