Zipper war

No, it's not a moment in 19th century history.

It's a battle I'm fighting right now.

In the last few weeks I had to exchange or repair a zip on MiniMojcek Nr.1's school backpack, a zip on MiniMojcek Nr.2's school backpack, two zips on my backpacks, a zip on MiniMojcek Nr.1's sweater and two zips on MiniMojcek Nr.2's jackets.

Enough zips for a while!

So, so true.

What a joy walking is. All the cares of life, all the hopeless, inept fuckwits that God has strewn along the Bill Bryson Highway of Life suddenly seem far away and harmless, and the world becomes tranquil and welcoming and good. And to walk with old friends multiplies the pleasure a hundredfold.

Just checking...

The raspberries are ripe.

The strawberries are blossoming.

The roses are in bloom.

Either climate changes are really happening or I've got some weird genetically modified organisms... because it's the middle of November!

And, yes, all the shops are full of Christmassy stuff. And yes, I'm slightly panicking because I don't even have a prototype of this year's Christmas cards ready!
