Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Flying back home after 2 weeks in NZ today. Top of 13 degrees here today, it's going to be a rude shock coming home 🫠
One of the things I pray for is my nephew to have a secure life full of love, so that they aren't pushed into some of the scenarios and resulting relatively harmless but nonetheless questionable choices and that I've made.
