- Rise and shine.
- I am still feeling a bit under the weather from the virus I caught 2 weeks ago. Sleeping a lot, continual sinus pressure, phlegm. Lachie was away in Switzerland this week so every night after the kids went to sleep at about 8:30 I took myself directly to bed too.
- Today’s best drawing: Aristocrapts snake party. The snakes have top hats and monocles, and surround a multi-tiered birthday cake.
- The good thing about this blog is that, OK yeah I did use some Cursor to create a sidebar, for science, the body text is always gonna be 100% meat-made. Is it going to be well written? Useful? Interesting? Absolutely not, but at least you know these anodyne thoughts are coming to you by me painstakingly typing them out.
- Someone sent me an introduction meeting invite “Via Microsoft Co-pilot” this week. That’s one way to make a first impression I guess!
- Can’t believe some people choose to spend their singular wild and precious life posting to LinkedIn.
- Schlopp schlopp, beautiful schlopp, beautiful schlopp with a cherry on top.
- This weekend is going to be a 10/10.
- I’ve spent the last month making the space under the window in out bedroom into a reading nook. This has mainly involved making a padded foam seat for the bench and some cushions. Now E has discovered it and I’ll often find her lying fully flat on her back reading her Tom Gates book in the sun.
- I’ve finished knitting Lachie’s storm sweater. It took me 2 months to knit - I had predicted 3, so not bad!
- I’ve started brewing kombucha after my brother-in-law gave me some a few weeks ago and I liked it.
- On Saturday the whole fam went for a bike ride into town and then along the sea front to a café for lunch. Cycling in the sunshine with the kids is absolutely the perfect way to spend time. Then I went on to a paper marbling class in Shoreham-by-sea, which was extremely relaxing, although I’d venture to say it would have been even more relaxing if the other people in the class hadn’t kept saying “oooh isn’t this relaxing” every 5 seconds.
- The peas and beetroots have germinated, today I will plant the tomatoes.
