Meet Iokasti...

It’s been too long since I last posted here. The truth is that I hardly had time to get on top of life admin, and raising a child at the same time meant that some of my hobbies and interests had to take a back seat. This is the story of why and how things have changed and a short introduction to the world of Iokasti, my daughter.

Do babies come with instructions?

Will Smith once said; “The new TV I had recently bought came with a 100-page manual. I now had a baby in my arms and not a single page of instructions.”.

And then, 13 weeks before my firstborn is due, it hit me. I’m nowhere near competent enough to raise a child. So I took on reading.

People often ask me whether I can place the exact moment I knew SHE was the one. Well, I can. And here’s that story.
