On the evening before I started my new job, I made my packed lunch for the next day and put it in the fridge. When I came to get ready to leave for my early morning train, I found a note from Tris next to my work bag to remind me to get my lunch and pack a couple of other essentials which I hadn’t been able to put in my bag overnight.

Such a small thing, but a really kind gesture that really helped when I was feeling nervous.

My wife decided that the garage should be used for the car this winter instead of its normal detached storage unit configuration.

But, still insists I shovel the entire driveway, which I presume is so that the ambulance has somewhere to park when I eventually have a heart attack from shoveling said driveway :)

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

You may safely go to school with hope; but ere you marry, should have learned the mingled lesson of the world: that dolls are stuffed with sawdust, and yet are excellent play-things; that hope and love address themselves to a perfection never realised, and yet, firmly held, become the salt and staff of life; that you yourself are compacted of infirmities, perfect, you might say, in imperfection, and yet you have a something in you lovable and worth preserving; and that, while the mass of mankind lies under this scurvy condemnation, you will scarce find one but, by some generous reading, will become to you a lesson, a model, and a noble spouse through life. So thinking, you will constantly support your own unworthiness, and easily forgive the failings of your friend.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1881), β€œVirginibus Puerisque, Part 2”
