Enjoyable weekend away at the beach house with MiL and our besties. Daughter came up for a night which was nice and we have 3 dogs running an absolute muck about us most of the day.

Walking the dog on the beach has been lovely, weather is gorgeous.

Been eating great, drinking too much and watching the footy. Stayed up late to watch the start of the NBA playoffs last night, plan on doing the same tonight if I can. But I'm a bit weary so we'll see.

Anyway, now my wife and I hate each other and are just playing hot potato with our kid so we don't have to interact. It will all be better tomorrow though.
We haven’t fought yet, but I’m walking on egg shells today as my wife seems to be in a terrible mood and I have no idea why. “Tired” has been the reason given, but my goodness who isn’t.
You thinking what I’m thinking?
i just kept busy with house settling stuff and steered clear. she seemed to be in a better headspace after thai takeaway for dinner.
