I’ve been thinking of this a lot since I read it a couple of days ago. Life, as a total of everything that happens to me, has been (is) a struggle at the moment. And this quote was a reminder I very much needed.

Yesterday L took the kids out for a couple of hours. We always tend to do things altogether at the weekend. Having the time alone just for a couple of hours was genuinely glorious. I felt refreshed as a result.
When at home, do you always like to read in the same place? A particular chair or spot on the sofa? What does that look like?
Parents. I feel like with time being so limited between work and home. I need some things to do that aren’t eating food I shouldn’t and playing with my phone. Any other ideas?!
We drove past this building a lot and I’d always just assumed it was some sort of government building as it’s pretty imposing. Yesterday we saw a Paw Patrol show inside it though…


Today had started so well, I realised 10mins into our drive that we hadn’t argued about the music and the 3yo was loving some indie classics. I miss that already, simpler times.
Food took ages and they forgot my beer. It was amazing. Nice to be bored for a while. Followed up with watching a film in a private room. Happy days.
If I took all the time I spend trying to format the work I’m doing, on whatever program, the things I could have done!
I always like the way the 3 year olds photos turn out. I think this a panorama shot.
“It’s a verb. It’s an active engagement with all kinds of feelings—positive ones and primitive ones and loathsome ones. But it’s a very active verb. And it’s often surprising how it can kind of ebb and flow. It’s like the moon. We think it’s disappeared, and suddenly it shows up again. It’s not a permanent state of enthusiasm.”

One of my favourite things about Apple Music is that my weekly playlist is one kind of music, this week is all old dance music. I like that.

The boy does not like wearing shoes in the car.
Places to put things at home are normally pretty easy.
For working parents our careers tend to be busiest when our children yearn to have us around the most
Woke up to this article and can’t stop thinking about it. I couldn’t spend more time with my children though and feel all the more stressed for it.

Just finished watching Back to Life about a women who has just got out of prison. It’s quite dark but also really human and somehow manages to be funny too. I really loved it and had a little cry at the final scene. It’s just so British too.
The 1y.o. found the missing Paw Patrol member Zoomer. I couldn’t find him anywhere! Good work Y!
Happy to see Scotland and Japan going ahead in the Rugby World Cup.
When you hear and love the remix first and then hear the original and it’ll never be enough.
Wonder how many of the Apple Arcade games I can play on my Macbook that work fine with just the keyboard.
Want to upgrade to Catalina but the one app I need in China, my VPN, won’t work. So having to hold off. Disappointing!
That Sunday morning and we’ve been up since 6am look.
Quick! The kids are napping, you need to relax. Always find it hard. What should I do with myself. I crave this time but don’t know what to do with it!
