@justanotherdawn.bsky.social Hey! Have you got frozen shoulder? I just got diagnosed last week. Hope things are thawing there...

Got diagnosed with two additional diseases in a timespan of two days, of which one is another autoimmune disease (my third). I call bingo. I'll drink and watch some sad film and stuff my face with chocolate tonight. Tomorrow Mr J & boys will come back home and my brave face will be back in action.

My partner's elderly mother thinks I'm a barrister and always asks me about the legal profession. I'm actually a barista in a failing coffee shop, but we find it too hilarious to correct her

"So what do you suggest: we coach them out with a giant Toblerone and hope for the best?" Gosh, this is up there with: "We should do the washing up" #ILoveIt #DaaamnINeededThat #TheEndOfTheFasterixasterixasterixingWorld

I had decorated the windows for Christmas. Have since wiped it. Now the weather does it for me!

Good morning from snowy Apeldoorn! #MorningWalk

@justanotherdawn.bsky.social Have you already managed to see The Walsh Sisters? Or has it not been on the BBC yet?

My #ESC250 votes are done! No excitement felt this year, though. Still...none. Meh.

Daaaamn, the victim blaming in my country... Be honest: did you always listen to what your parents told you to do when you were 17? Did you always make the best decisions at that age? And even if you did, why should not doing so be fair game to be murdered!??? #RIPLisa

All balls and such have been packed in the small room that was left in the trunk of our car @anythingmaureen.bsky.social! Thanks to @justanotherdawn.bsky.social and @chauffeurofdawn.bsky.social for a great outing! Sorry it was such a short one. Will make sure to have more time together next time!

We'll take the ferry to Harwich on Friday night. Luuk (9) made this with ironing beads, in anticipation! Great rainy day fun to have.

Open house at a nearby cow farm. Such lovely animals! The calf with the "suit" on was born last night and was trying to stand up on his own. 😍

Luuk (8) is making comics to sell outside, for 50 cents. Meet Super Cheese and its helper: Mature Cheese 😄

Drawing of a slice of cheese flying through the air with an "S" on its front (Super Cheese), and a smaller slice of cheese on his right, the helper. On top of the page it says "De avonturen van SUPER KAAS!" ("The adventures of SUPER CHEESE!"), above the helper it says "Super Kaas' hulpje Belegen Kaas" (Super Cheeses helper Mature Cheese). It's all drawn in blue pen.

In blue letters, on top of the white page, it says "Tekst: Luuk" ("Written by: Luuk") and "Tekeningen: Luuk" ("Drawn by: Luuk")

@chauffeurofdawn.bsky.social @justanotherdawn.bsky.social Mr J preferred a place closer to Harwich for the last couple of days. So we booked a place near Bury Sint Edmunds. Hopefully the Newmarket Racecourse will have a particular concert on those days!

Wanted a change of colour. Picked the colour Mr J suggested: burgundy.

@chauffeurofdawn.bsky.social @justanotherdawn.bsky.social Could I pick your brain about something? We're going camping in the area of Snowdonia during the Summer. We'll stay at that particular campsite until Friday. We'll have the ferry back home from Harwich on Monday evening. What would be a 1/2

When they start by telling you something you're doing really good. You know carnage is coming. This whole sandwich-model-feedback-giving-method is backfiring massively. I completely forgot about anything good. #LifelongDreamMayBeGone #FuckingHellWillTheCryingEverStop

"Dora's real, for real?" Watching 'Room' cause I felt like I needed a reason to cry when Mr J's got company over. The film's incredible. I read the book first, so me giving praise to the film says a lot.

@justanotherdawn.bsky.social @chauffeurofdawn.bsky.social One of our neighbours ("Mr Doggies", or so we call him) lost one of his two little dogs. The boys wanted to make a drawing to try and cheer him up a little. Daan (5) drew one MASSIVE dog. Thought you'd appreciate this.

@chauffeurofdawn.bsky.social @justanotherdawn.bsky.social How far away is Wales from where you live? We're planning on going there with our tent on holiday next year (friends of mine who live about an hour from Harwich, who we'll visit first, are also coming). Wondering if it'd at all be possible...

Have you ever seen a snail laying eggs? The kids from my class at work found it!

A whole lot of nothing all around. Three days in a holiday home with Mr J and the boys, surrounded by nature and farmland. Recharging.

Signs that you're too tired: standing at the door of your son's friend's house to come pick him up, only to realise after ringing the doorbell that your husband texted the name of a different friend. #Ugh

The week before the Christmas holidays (2 weeks off), I had a long conversation with a girl in the last grade of the school (they're about 11 years old). She's having a hard time with the bitchiness of some of the girls in that grade. By now, a conversation has been had with her own teacher as ...
