My oldest boy turns 18 in a month and he’s a bit down atm after a rough time with the lockdown and now car and friend and girl troubles. I reach out with suggestions and sometimes have success, but at that age who the hell like, wants to listen to Dad, right? But I reach out anyway with sit-down-together meals and offers of film nights and walks which he sometimes takes me up on. I reach out and it seems to help. Letting him drive my car seems to help. Hugs are good too.

This guy. Eighteen soon.

Soaking towel-loads of water up from the floors and carpets is a fun way to spend a sunny afternoon lol

Blues skies and sunshine, and the first time I’ve seen a bellbird in my backyard. ☀️
