I want to record my daughter talking to family and friends online. Both would be using iOS. What’s a simple way to do that?

Red.
I keep thinking I want a new unlined notebook but keep coming back to the thought that I should be using what I already have.
Bit noisy this.
I ended up watching Jerry Seinfeld’s new special on Netflix. There’s a bit he does about how our phones. How dependent we are on them and how much we text now. It’s just so convenient. As someone who much prefers texting and for whom calling makes uncomfortable. I’ve spent the day wishing I could leave my phone alone more.
Saw this and remembered I needed to do a quote today. 💬
It’s Sunday and it’s not even 9.
I’m working; because I don’t know,
What else I could be doing.
Our Year 1 students go back to school, full time this week. And, coupled with other things - both work and home - I’m feeling completely overwhelmed.
A trial run of talking with Yumo… Who is on the verge of talking. He understands what we’re saying and knows what he wants to say, it just doesn’t come out right, yet.
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” – Bernard M. Baruch
I know I got yesterday’s from Mum but she always used to say the latter part of this quote too. Fell over it as I was looking for today’s quote. 💬
The audio of a video I took of Elise talking to a friend about a book we’ve read called Journey by Aaron Becker. Which I highly recommend.
Still need to read up on how to use Wavelength more effectively though.
I was doing so well with talking to Elise but it kind of fell off.
Anyway, I did a short video for a friend yesterday and relised I could share that audio. So, I’m going to do that and to do that I needed to upgrade my plan, which I’ve just done.

I know it’s cheesy but I’ve always loved this. 💬
When I think I’m teaching, I’m probably not. When I don’t think I’m teaching, I probably am. John Badessari
I wrote this down, a rare thing, when reading Austin Kleon’s website.
His site gives me pause about my own teaching. Sit. Listen. How else can I do things?

I can’t remember where I first heard this Kurt Vonnegut quote but I think about it a lot. It’s a reminder, for me, to focus on the small things that make life good. 💬
One of the things [Uncle Alex] found objectionable about human beings was that they so rarely noticed it when they were happy. He himself did his best to acknowledge it when times were sweet. We could be drinking lemonade in the shade of an apple tree in the summertime, and Uncle Alex would interrupt the conversation to say, “If this isn’t nice, what is?”
So I hope that you will do the same for the rest of your lives. When things are going sweetly and peacefully, please pause a moment, and then say out loud, “If this isn’t nice, what is?”
Watched and enjoyed the the first episode of Tales from the Loop. A series based on the work of a Swedish Illustrator Simon Stålenhag. 📺
The townspeople who live above “The Loop,” a machine built to unlock and explore the mysteries of the universe, experience things previously consigned to the realm of science fiction.
This video is titled The Human Bean: 40 days on a tin-bean diet. I’ve always enjoyed watching the videos he makes. Partly because I like the way his mind works and partly because I’m a little jealous of how he lives. He makes and does stuff with his own hands, is active in a very natural way and is big on an true.
Eating tinned beans for 40 days is ridiculous but the idea that someone might do something like that really appeals to me. Just like when he run a marathon by running a mile an hour (plus a couple extra obviously) and then spending the rest of the time doing stuff.
It’s my birthday. I’m 68. I feel like pulling up a rocking chair and dispensing advice to the young ‘uns. Here are 68 pithy bits of unsolicited advice which I offer as my birthday present to all of you.
I liked this.
Elise and Lyra talk about Paw Patrol.
We talk about the time Elise fell off a swing.
We, briefly, talk about salad and vegetables. Which is apparently our families favourite food! Who knew?!
Yesterday was rubbish.
Today, I’m __ trying__ to not try and do everything at once and then beating myself up for inevitably failing.
Today, is one thing at a time. Exercise, not exercise and send work messages and trying to decide on the optimal music. Eat breakfast, not eat breakfast and check work emails and decide on what music.
Just one thing at a time
