🐰 Very busy Easter weekend, with dozens of family members. Some (quite a
few) hadn’t even met tinyMovieStar! She’s having an awesome time. City
girl, yes, but enjoying all the animals, and the extreme cold.

🥁 Very long day, lots of photos. Those will come later. For now, this. In Spain.
🏡 Late arrival, so sub-par photo. But we made it. tinyMovieStar refused to sleep, so we had the pleasure of listening to her drunken rambling for close to four hours.
🌧️ Not sure if I’ll be able to shoot during today’s drive, but this is pretty much what the day will look like from my point of view.
🛎️ Lately I’ve been using a Focus mode on the iPhone. No
notifications.
Exceptions are: movieStar, Mom, Dad, brother, best friend (also my
editor at the paper) and, of course, tinyMovieStar’s kindergarten.
Everything else must wait until I check. It feels great!

🍕 Picking up rather expensive pizza at the hip hotel next door. It's
what the girls wanted, so... At least there's a nice IPA to
drink while I wait.

🚌 Slight change of plans regarding the Family Easter Weekend: we're
leaving tomorrow, not Saturday. We have a cousin's birthday
lunch/party, and then we're joining my parents, my brother (and his
family), and drive all the way to the highlands. Storm
expected. Should take us 4/5 hours to get there.
🦄 Handmade invitations for tinyMovieStar’s birthday party. Still weeks away, but there’s a lot to do. The three of us are involved in this production!
🌧️ We’re staying in all day, if we can, it’s very unpleasant outside. tinyMovieStar has a cough, and she’s on Easter break. I am on LEGO duty, and movieStar working from home.
Photo, again, from the archives.
📣 Woke up at 5:30AM. Thank you, heavy rain.
