An eclectic collection of trivia, observation, cynicism, wit....

Enjoy!

I'm Mark. Older than you imagine, pescetarian, husband, father, professional parent & pedant.

I post some original stuff and a bunch of other things that I like. If you own the rights to something you see here and you're not happy about me sharing it, let me know.

Responsibility just landed with a crash. Someone isn’t going to their youth group tonight because I’m writing letters to their school about the late attendance issue instead. Now we have tears and I just matched the popularity of a turd in a swimming pool in one fell swoop. It’s a tough life.

It’ll be even tougher if I get a £50 fine.

The joy of fostering…

We just had a warning that the education department may fine us because a certain young person has arrived late for school. Twice.

Nothing like an incentive. At least they actually went to school. I can feel the onset of a withdrawal of privilege…

Winter Mornings.
