Happy Monday you guys!
Hope you all had a great weekend.
We took the kids to the optometrist and it turns out the 7yo’s prescription has increased! Luckily the 5yo is still spectacles-free.
We tried a new-to-us ramen place and I gave the spicy ramen a try. It was more peppery than I would have liked though! But I liked that they had lots of grilled pork belly.

Those pictures remind me of visits to the optician – my sister was born with a squint and there were lots of funny machines that tested her bifocal vision, where she had to put the lion in the cage, I was allowed to try it out once, which was great, as I got so bored sitting there each time.

Since you’re local to me, I have to ask, what ramen place did you go to? It looks delicious. I have a copy of My Sister the Serial Killer on my TBR shelf. Will be reading it sometime this year. My weekly updates
