What is it?

..a bit of fungus,
found on the woodland floor when
picking up dog poo..

It’s been THAT kind of day..
Ben struggled with the journey home today and was properly kicking the car and lashing out by the time we got home. He’s discombobulated about a lot of things, he’s still missing respite and talking about it like we’re hiding something from him, he’s obviously on school holidays and we’ve had all the Christmas hoohaa (spelling??!) and it’s his birthday next week, so he’s not in the most level place but still it’s hard to calm his emotions when you’re dealing with your own anxieties about the six-foot-ness of him in an enclosed space. We had pulled over and gave it time but I think we’re all a little jangled. We managed a walk in the woods that he mostly whinged through but in fairness it was so cold.. I’ve promised a car wash tomorrow and that’s usually a big excitement for him, so hopefully that perks him up.
