Hi both. Last day before leave. I’m wiped 😂 Won’t be going anywhere, but catching up with people as Kerstin is away as well. But deliberately not a lot happening! Love you both, Dad

Hi both, So Hamburg was great, but made me realise I needed more time off than a long weekend lol. So week after next I am going to be off for a week. First time in nearly ten months so going to do a lot of sitting and a lot of doing nothing lol. Love you both, Dad x
Hi both, Off to Hamburg tomorrow for a long weekend. It’s Kerstin’s friends 50th. Nice to have a bit of a break and walk around Hamburg in between social bits. Looking forward to it. Just one day to get through! Love you both x
Hi both, Super short as I have a whole load to do before the bank holiday. So just a cringey meme x Love you both, Dad
Hi both, So this week has been quite a bit of sorting two things I should have done ages ago. Car and rest of my flooring. My car is about to go, so found a pretty cheap to run car to switch to. Will be quite a bit of cost for the next three years, but more manageable then previous ways. Not the car I actually want, but it will do 😉 Then flooring. This is a huge pain as it means moving everything out of the bedroom and my rammed study. But getting rid of the last bit of mank
Hi both, Hope getting back to school wasn’t too much of a jolt. Work has finally calmed down and got into a rhythm so that feels good. Also given me a chance to look at the long list of stuff I can now focus on due to being in a job I like and is not at “crunch”. Feels good to be honest 😊. Love you both, Dad x
Hi both, Weekend just gone was great. Really relaxing and good to spend time with Kerstin in the countryside. Only issue being the only photo I vaguely have of the entire weekend was this one Kerstin took 😬. Hope you both had a fab time, and going back to school isn’t landing too much with a bump. Love you both, Dad xx
Hi both, So coming up to four years since I have seen you last. Still feels awful, and wished I got to see you. Love you both so much. Whatever you are doing, I’m sure I would be proud of you 😊 Work is calming down. Long weekend in a country hut with Kerstin is just the tonic I need after a busy, intense period. Love you both, Matt
Hi both, So today is the end of the intense period at work. Two months of stuff. Quite satisfying in what’s been achieved, but glad for a slower tempo. Me and Kerstin are off to see the Producers tomorrow as well. Been aaaaagggggeeeessss since I have seen a musical in the west end, so really looking forward to it. Then next weekend away up in Spalding for basically chilling. Can’t wait. Love you both, Dad x
Hi Both, Hope the last week before Easter isn’t a grind. As expected, my work is currently, hence nothing much to add. I am going to a nice country cottage over Easter weekend, so think things will be a bit more normal after that. Love you both, Dad x
Hi both, Gosh my life is boring at the moment. Only thing to say is that I had to rebook a holiday with Kerstin as the original cottage we booked collapsed 😬 Hope you both enjoying the gradually appearing sunshine. Love you both, Dad x
Hi both, My life remains very dull. Lots on at this work, and when I do get some spare time, learning about a new card game and playing that against people. At least I get to book a weekend break away with Kerstin. Our first choice alas got destroyed due to recent storm damage (eek!). Hope you are enjoying half term, love you both. Dad x
Hi both, Another week of work, work, work. But it’s a great project and I am only here to early April so making the most of it. Charlotte - had your parents evening last night. So proud of not only your progress, but how you are doing it. I am so proud of you 🥳 Love you both, Dad
Hi both, All work and no play makes Dad write a boring update 😉 Hope you are all ok and at least holding out till half term Love you both, Dad x
Hi both, So finished the first week of my job for the next 3 months. Going well but tiring as not a lot of time to get stuff done! Also going to see one of my favourite bands, Jinjer, so looking forward to that. Love you both, Dad x
Hi both, On holiday in Lanzarote. Way colder than expecting, but has been super relaxing and fun. Oh and eating anawful lot of grilled meat 😂 Photos below. Hope you are enjoying school. Love you both, Dad x
Hi both, Last week at St Mungo’s. What a relief! 3 months is long to wait to leave somewhere. Hope the gloom and grey are not bringing you down. Even the snow was short lived 😔 Thank you both for you lovey notes. Hope you get my response back Josh, and loved the picture Charlotte. Love you both, Dad x
Hi both, So my new years was spent ill. To be fair I am usually want to be at home anyway, but would rather not be ill. Kerstin was in Hamburg, and if I knew how much leave I would have to use up, could have stayed there anyway. But glad I didn’t as I would have been ill. Hope you both had a fab new years, and that going back to school hasn’t been too hard. Love you both, Dad
Hi Both, Hope you had a lovely Xmas 🎄 I had a quiet one over in Hamburg. Was lovely after what has been a rough ish year at work and job hunting. So lots of eating and playing games, which worked for me. Picture was outside the local Xmas market, at the point people were stealing the Xmas trees as it was the last day of the market 😂 Love you both, Dad
