30 December, 2020 cushtie_adminNothing Much In Particular

I made the mistake of staying up all night playing on my Xbox, which wasn’t great preparation for going to the dentist. I haven’t been since we moved from Singapore, so I was worried I’d[…]

Drive stressed

29 December, 2020 cushtie_adminNothing Much In Particular

We had our longest trip in the car today, driving to Leavenworth (about 140 miles). It was cold and icy (the external temperature in the mountains got below freezing) so we had a choice between[…]

A good walk, unspoiled

21 December, 2020 cushtie_adminNothing Much In Particular

Arguing about nothing

20 December, 2020 cushtie_adminNothing Much In Particular
