• Getting a lot of LIIIIIFE from thinking about our new house. I just imagine lying on my back in the garden staring up at the massive cedar tree in it and it feels really good.
  • I’ve planted sweet peas, rocket, lettuce, heleniums, and echinacea, which is a bit optimistic as I want them to be ready to plant out when we move to the ā€œforever homeā€ (as our mortgage advisor called it). The heleniums and echinacea were seeds from our London garden, which feels a bit like I brought some of that place with us.
  • I keep finding chunky spiders in the rental. A glass panel fell out of one of the doors, shattering all over the kitchen floor. Glass and spiders.
  • The three year old has started sleeping through the night again, that only took a whole year.
  • I’m going back to work on Tuesday, possibly foolishly, I haven’t prepared for it at all. Every day with two kids in this new place is so full-on that there isn’t time to have a little think about anything that’s happening any further into the future than ā€œthis afternoonā€.
  • I had given up on ever thinking to myself ā€œwow this web app is so essential and so good I’m going to add it to my home screenā€ but then my kid’s new nursery uses famly and it’s amazing? The previous nursery used something called ā€˜Eylog’ which was really slow and took far too many clicks to get to anything I wanted. But Famly has a whole load of features I find genuinely useful for corresponding with E’s nursery. AND it’s a webapp not an app app? They’re based in Denmark if anyone wants to be their CTO.
  • Still really really enjoying Sentimental in the city. Not normal for me to laugh out loud at things but Dolly and Caroline often raise a little cackle out of my cold tight throat.
  • I went for a walk with Brighton Resident Anna Goss and her very good dog. Anna is the first person I’ve met up with since moving to Brighton and it was a very strong start.
