  It doesn’t feel bone chillingly cold outside tonight for a change.

  Pasta bake for dins, had some frozen leftover meat sauce and making the meal more interesting by adding a copious amount of cheese and baking.

  I need to buy a present for a 1st birthday I’m going to next week (for a boy). I was thinking some clothes (bigger size he can grow into) and maybe a kid’s book? Any other ideas? Budget is $50-ish dollars.

    Gin for the parents. Nothing for the kid.

    Books are always good. Grab a sturdy binding edition of whatever ‘classic’ appeals to taste and inscribe it. It can be read to them now, and read by them when they grow into it. Maybe Magic Pudding?

    The noisiest possibly toy in your budget.

    My go to for that age group was bath toys, simple puzzles, those hard cardboard paged books, simple musical instruments (but nothing that’s a choking hazard). At that age it’s gotta be stuff that’s ok to put in their mouth. You’re on the money with bigger clothes: suddenly you’re dressing them one morning and their clothes don’t fit anymore!

  Facebook managed to create duplicate listings so I woke up to a bunch more “is this available?” messages 🤣 No. No it is not.

  I managed a nice late sleep in this morning. I intend to do very little today. Maybe a nice meandering dog walk, mixing up the new batch of dog food, and I should rescue the terrarium from the car as it is probably wondering where all the light’s gone.
