Day One. 5 years ago.
Today was a Jose Gonzalez - Veneer, Arcade Fire - Funeral, The Postal Service - Give Up, Chemical Brothers - Surrender, Prodigy - Fat of the Land kind of day.

That ending!
Strange to read this and consider it the norm.
1 episode released a week > Whole season released at once.
A friend is waiting for the whole season of Severance but I like the time between episodes. I feel that I appreciate it more. Have more time to digest and ponder.
Plenty to go on with episode 1 of Severance… 📺

What if?
When Apple Music gives you some Deafheaven and then follows it up with the Corrs. But also, earlier some Maximo Park (hi Jenn!), We Are Scientists (hi again Jenn) and very early Placebo.
It’s come around again, so I need to link to Austin Kleon posting to this poem
My kids LOVE the new Gladiators show. Just watched the first episode of the new series. 📺
Severance😝 Still at work 😐
It’s Season 2 of Severance Day!
What an interesting list. I don’t know which to quote. I will read it again later and come back to it. Some of them touch on things I think, a lot, about my own teaching.
Love this. The kids were so into it. Liked the way it ends too.

My week in review
My Apple Watch Series 3 (!) has finally givenn up half way around my morning ruck. If I only want it for tracking sleep and some walks, I don’t need the latest model, right? Wild anyone recommend a model? Or are there alternatives?
So, I was thinking I need to do stretching because of my age. But then I realised as a teacher of 5 and 6 year olds I spend so much time sitting on small chairs, or crouching or sitting on the floor that I’m going to take that as my mobility work!

Love the artwork in this, but the text just didn’t flow for me.
Finished reading: “Slowly, Slowly, Slowly,” Said the Sloth by Eric Carle 📚
Read this in class today. I think it’s my favourite Eric Carle. Obviously read it slowly, the students joining in. Such a joy.
Finished REreading: Red Rising (Red Rising Series Book 1) by Pierce Brown 📚
There’s more to read so have started the series again. I knew some of the twists but very much enjoyed the ride.
We have a few games, mostly card games, that we take with us when we go out. A way to fill time, something to do that isn’t a screen - which we don’t typically take with us when we go out. I thought I’d write about them a little.
This one is Llama.
A card game. Simply, You put a card down that is the same or 1 more than the card on the pile. The Llama goes after 6 and 1 follow six. That’s about it. Easy to explain to new people and quick to play. To play properly, when one person finishes the others count up points, Llama counts 10, and get counters for that amount. Though you can quit the round if you like. When someone has 40 points, the person with the lowest point is the winner. There’s a couple of wrinkles too.
We are normally happy to just play without the counters and don’t tend to stop when 1 person wins. But mostly we enjoy playing a round or two.
It says 8+ not he box but our 6 year understands it well enough to play.
I just love it. Trying to make the Christmas spirit last a little longer….
