Family Week

A busy week of family visiting! Everybody got to hold Maeryn, large pizzas were had, I waited outside a bakery for half-an-hour until discovering it was closed until the end of May, a Miranda moment where my trousers fell down as I was carrying a table across my front garden1, baby’s first Eurovision2, Mother’s Day brunch, discovering how Cincinnati’s bulk item pick up works and watching them crush a freezer, putting up shelves…and completing the first two shrines in Tears of The Kingdom3.

Now, the family is off to Vegas, but they’ll be back here at Christmas, doing a trial run of the new LHR-CVG direct flight, before we hopefully go back to Britain next year for a trip celebrating Maeryn’s first birthday!

No, I didn’t finish the comic notes, but I’m almost at 1,000 words after finally spending some time on it one morning this week…maybe over Memorial Day weekend…
