After having had 45 elected on the day of my daughter's birth, it was nicely fitting that her fourth birthday was the day they finally called this year's election.

Kidlet Primus is now 6! Kidlet Secunda is now 4! And our house is once again overflowing with birthday cake and wrapping paper.

It's weird not having toddlers any more. A few years ago, the presents of choice were crayons and stickers. This year, it's nerf guns and lego.

In mostly unrelated news, we're now (finally) out of lockdown. Although visitors still have to be spread out, and the masks are still compulsory - which I'm actually fine with.

The kids are back at school/kinder, and starting to get their regular lives back. Although I doubt we'll go back to swimming lessons for quite a while - which is a shame, because Secunda was only just starting them, and misses them a lot. Primus, on the other hand, doesn't care at all about swimming, but has been requesting gymnastics lessons (ever since he saw a parkour video) - so we might give those a go.

Still waiting to see if church starts up again. I hope so - although it will be very odd having stuff scheduled on Sunday mornings again.
