Yep that’s Jill playing Otis’ Ben 10 game.
Yes, that’s a Macca’s breakfast on the table.
And yes, that’s Rosie and our rocking-horse sheep watching on.
In fact, the only person not in this photo is Otis … who is a bit miffed his Mum has taken over his game.
Of course, Jill claims she’s just wanting to help him past a difficult bit.
But I know that face of concentration.
She’s in deep competition mode … determined to win at all costs … resistant to surrender regardless what she faces.
And right here, is a moment of my family I love.
Doing something [kinda] together and enjoying the ridiculousness of it all.
I love this.
I love that COVID has enabled me to have more of this with my family.
Which is why while I acknowledge the devastating impact it has had – and continues to have – on so many, what it has given to me is an opportunity to embrace and celebrate how precious my family are and how much I love being with them.
Even if Otis feels he’s being ‘game denied’ by his Mum.

You’re weird Rob.
Comment by Bazza November 23, 2020 @ 7:44 amThank you. Rather that than ‘normal’.
Comment by Rob November 23, 2020 @ 7:51 amOn the plus, Jill and you still seem “made for each other.” Even if I fear her gaming prowess is because you have brain washed her. Or she has accepted if you can’t beat them…..
Comment by Bazza November 23, 2020 @ 7:46 amWhether I’ve brain-washed her or whether she’s just accepted she may as well succumb, she’s as competitive as hell and doesn’t just want to win, but wants to destroy the competition.
