GMG, but also MMH.
Last two hours have been hell. Two neurodivertant kids, out of routine, over stimulated… and probably over sugared…
Youngest with Autism and PDA, screaming, shouting, throwing, being massively defiant… Throwing a fit because I gave her a pink muslin, rather than a yellow muslin square to snuggle…

…gets into bed (yes it’s early!).
“Daddy…. I love you.” plus lots of cuddles…
It’s worth it… I’m sure.
This is my life right now, but he’s hairy likes to rip my face off. But it’s not frowned upon to lock him in a cage when I’m bored of him being a douche
The people who sold us the house likes the village so much they brought the house next door so they could stay (I say people, it’s just the wife who wanted to stay after the breakup).
She went for a walk with her youngest this evening but the eldest has decided absolutely not and has banged on our door and is now involved in a huge water fight with our two boys. Very impromptu.
Phone will be going in a lake and I will not be coming home.
(Obviously for legal reasons this is a joke)
Anyone at Airbourne today?
Don’t you just love the smell of petrichor in the morning?
Reeked outside my home.
Everything needs rain just to wash off all the smells. The place we walk the dog when it’s hot. The woods with a brook at the bottom of an urban valley absolutely reek!
I can’t wait to smell it again. For now it is the ever present smell of burning Welsh Valleys blowing across the Severn.
Funnily enough, the Welsh valleys is exactly where I smelt it this morning.
Admittedly I did also smell a lot of smoke still, and the massive fire near Ebbw Vale is very much still alight (and very close to the road) but it’s a start.
Won’t see this very often much longer.
Lufthansa A340 fleet has 8 weeks left
Granddaughter got her GCSE results today and I am so pleased for her!
6 Grade 9’s used to be known as A**
4 Grade 8’s used to be known as A*
Not sure where she inherited these brains from but it wasn’t me!
Last night in Sweden for a while… dead sad times.
Hoping the journey home goes better than the way here.
But it’s been an interesting month… the youngest meltdowns have gotten slightly easier, the missus is back walking again (albeit slowly).
I’ve had quite a few compliments on attempting the language out here, so even if I do sound like a child, my grasp of the language has got better which is always good.
Still time to yeet my phone in the lake… which is incredibly tempting. But for now I’ll settle for watching the sun set behind the mountains whilst having some cider.
Saw this car today, pottering around.
1965 - 1966 3-wheeler Bond, listen to the power in the 2 stroke engine! 
My 7 y/o daughter just wrapped filming a 6 part BBC series today. It’s been a busy Summer, but seeing just how at home she is in a professional environment has been a revelation.
The way she carried herself, how she spoke with people, how she approached the work and took direction - all alien to me, but she was totally in her element. She is growing into a pretty capable and cool person, proud dad moment!
Just travelling through Glen Coe earlier today.
I’ve seen some spectacular places around the world, but that is an incredibly special place.
I am at my local beer festival
It is raining!
Kids both at home, killing each other… so myself and Mrs Tornado have divided….
She’s off to the cinema with eldest… im in soft play hell with the youngest…
At least im going to be well fed….
How’s that adulting going?
Looks like small MTA kit….
I’ve thought since first seeing it, that MTA kits look like giant plastic meccano. I’ve still got all of my childhood meccano.
