Love me some beautiful old books with a juicy history.

One thing that is definitely part of the parent experience is suddenly realising that you own an astonishing number of horses* on wheels. *also zebras, unicorns and assorted other critters

Some toys for a small child on a wooden floor, including a toddler-sized wheeled wooden riding horse, a tiny pink-and-white wooden unicorn, also on wheels, a wheeled wooden dinosaur, two wooden zebras on wheels - one a little smaller than the other - connected by a string to be drawn behind the child, and a duplo(TM) set called "animal train" containing various zoo and farm animals including an orange horse, on colourful little play train cars.

The world us full of horrors, but today, my husband and I built our kid her first-ever snowman and the neighbours decorated it while we were out grocery shopping.

A toddler, wearing pink snow trousers, a deep blue jacket, and a knitted pink beanie with multicoloured stripes, stands in front of a snowman a little taller than her. She is holding hands with a person in black whose head an shoulders are out of the frame of the picture. They are in a garden with a snowy hedge. Under the hedge are two white plastic chairs, turned over. The snow on the lawn shows tracks of green, from snowman construction.

The same snowman from before, now alone, and decorated. It has twigs as arms, buttons, eyes and nose made out of small rocks, as well as two long leaves for ears, making it look rather like a snow bunny.

Here's an unperfect, not staged, blurry Christmas photo of my family. It's fine. It captures a cute memory. It's a thousandfold better than AI.

A 15-month-old baby in a cute outfit (red royal Stewart tartan dress with a little teddy fur waistcoat) playing with a colourful plastic house and making eye contact with a lady in a grey sweater, black skirt and black tights who is sitting on a couch next to her. The couch is orange-brown, the baby is kneeling on a mat in white, orange, and purple. There is a small, wooden table next to them, with a large white teddy bear's feet sticking out from under it. There is an as yet wrapped Christmas present still lying on the couch. The whole image us slightly overexposed and a bit blurry. It's all a bit messy. But cute.

Right? Hopefully it means her wee immune system is ready to deal with it by then! But this damn flu season is really scary. Good luck to you all! Btw, here's Una saying hi

A toddler walking on a path through a dark Scottish forest. She's wearing a pink raincoat and pink rain trousers and grins up at the camera. The forest is rather dark and a little faerie-like.

Meanwhile, in Glasgow:

A former church turned university lecture hall in Glasgow on a sunny winter day. In front of the building is a street lamp, here also used as a flagpole. The flag, blowing in the wind at half-mast is a combination of the Scottish blue and white saltire and the red, black, and green Palestinian flag.

Zoom in on the former image, focused on the flag.

Oh, look, it's the Male Loneliness Epidemic (TM):

Some dude named "PDX Conservative":
"My three daughters all voted Harris in Oregon, a state that gave all its Electoral College votes to Harris. Two of them have now stopped speaking to me (and one is boycotting Thanksgiving) because I voted Trump. I did not tell them how to vote, nor ever presume to argue or convince them that they are misled by propaganda. I let them vote how they wish. It sucks that I must now suffer their childish and frankly rude behaviour, merely because they believe my one vote harmed them or their rights in some way. Liberalism really is a mental disorder.

Did I mention to you that you were part of the inspiration for naming my daughter Una? I thought this might cheer you up a little.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults - Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe - living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers and personal growth over ten seasons.

My baby girl loves and trusts her grandpa.

A man with grey-white hair and a matching handlebar moustache (my dad) sits on a red sofa with a 1-year-old baby in blue dungarees (my daughter). Another, much younger man in black jeans, a grey hoodie and a red beanie (my brother), sits on the other side of the sofa playing with the baby.

Can we stop acting like joy has an age limit? If buying a stuffed animal, rewatching cartoons, using a colouring book, collecting cute stationery, or sleeping with a fuzzy blanket brings you peace in this chaotic world, that's valid. The world is heavy. Bills are real. Burnout is constant. If something soft or silly makes it even a little bit lighter, let it. Being an adult doesn't mean you have to let go of the things that once made you feel safe or happy. We don't need less joy. We need more of it. Louder. Brighter. Unapologetic. Smile at the small things. Buy the plushie. Get the happy meal. Hug the pillow. Pick the pen with the glitter ink. You're not too grown. You're just tired. And you deserve softness too.

One year ago, this adorable magical creature was born. I can't believe it's only been a year. I also can't believe she hasn't always been part of our family.

She is gorgeous. I am so happy for you all. This is what you're looking forward to in about 10 months:
