The Micro.blog challenge word for day 27 is “pompasetting”, which apparently is a Caribbean word for showing off. So here’s me pompasetting or showing off a rare snuggly Paladin on my lap this morning. (Paladin snuggling isn’t rare, but on a lap is.) 🐈📷 #mbfeb

For week/year 8 of my 52 years celebration, another picture from sometime in the 1970’s, of me making a snowman (and my father at the edge of the frame). Seems appropriate given the surprise snow yesterday. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

For week/year 7 of my 52 years celebration, this picture is probably earlier than the previous one (I’d guess around 1973?), but I wanted to include it anyway. My brother Neville, my late Grandma, me, and my cousin Alan. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

Today is a notable milestone for me: I have now been married for exactly half of my life. 9445 days between my birth and wedding date; 9445 days between our wedding date and today. (My birthday is in May, our anniversary in April, and now it’s February… funny how time works.)

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 6 is “sport”. Here’s a selfie from just now by our pond, with some ducks in the background. I don’t care much about my appearance, but it makes me happy to sport a long beard. 📷 #mbfeb
