Notes for Week 52, 2024

Notes
Wow. We made it to week 52 of 2024. Congrats!
It's Christmas week. Which, four years ago, probably meant being polluted drunk most nights with various friends or family groups. Not much has changed, but we are very much oriented around the kids. Our two boys, and their cousins (of similar age) visiting for the week from Denmark.
They're utterly and thoroughly spoiled for the week. But I'd have it no other way. It's great to spend a bunch of time in sheer chaos. They're too young to truly understand timelines/days/years, nor really the Santa thing outside of them getting pressies. But they love it. And we have our traditional trip to Cork to visit my wife's extended family happening tomorrow. And then New Year's in an uncles.
So being polluted drunk with various groups is still the theme, but everyone rallies around the experience had by the kids. And now that my eldest is 4, we're all reminded that we're all getting very bloody old. Because it feels like it was just yesterday that he was a tiny baby.
With that, I'll close this for the year. Thank you for reading. I don't have solid stats on the site, but my god what I have suggests this is far more popular than it really should. I appreciate people popping on once a week to see what's on my mind, clicking some links and sending me some messages on a social media site thereafter. I'll keep this up, for sure.
