Impromptu pancakes went well. Possibly too well. The kids will be asking for them again.

Nooooooooodlessss. This is from a chain that has a lot of branches around us., not the very best but still good. Today was, unexpectedly, a little spicier.
This resonates about why we don’t do things.
Sure, there’s a difference between writing a poem and cleaning up a garbled email, between writing a love letter and a Google ad. For some tasks, employing the use of an A.I. assistant might save time without levying a commensurate cost in humanity. Maybe.
We’re working every dread day that is given us
Feeling like the person people meet
Really isn’t us
Like we’re going to buckle underneath the trouble
Like any minute now
The struggle’s going to finish us

I keep meaning to write about this,and likely have in my journal but, well, I don’t have the time…

Finished this last night. I enjoy the style a lot. Ending was pretty abrupt. Par for the course for a trilogy.

Make an omelette for Y and then put everything in the sink to rinse. A minute later and I’m makingng coffee and E comes in.
“Can I have an omelette?”
…(looks at wet utensils)
“Of course, darling.”
42 and still getting stronger. Today, pleased with 7 x 2 squat cleans with the last 2 sets at 100kg (220lb). Felt relatively comfortable too! Can’t imagine not doing CrossFit Linchpin at this point. Just wish I could do it at home. One day, maybe…
After yesterday, I picked this Charlotte De Witte mix on Apple Music. Which they describe as ‘ravey-techno’. No idea honestly, but I’m on board for it. Stand out track is De Witte’s Fourth Dimension.
It’s such a strange thing that you can buy debt, though I don’t suppose it should be.
It’s coming to pass
My countries coming apart
The whole thing’s becoming
Such a bumbling farce
Was that a pivotal historical moment
We just went stumbling past?
They popped into my head today and so that’s what I’ve been listening to. Love this performance at Glastonbury. It deviates from the album version slightly but damn.

Y: I want cheese on top of my pasta.
Me: It has cheese on top, (points to melted cheese on top)
Y: No I want melted cheese on top.
Me: …
Y:(Gets cheese from fridge)
Me: So you want me to take the melted cheese off the top and then put more cheese on so that it melts?
Y: Yes.

Played Carcassonne for the first time, with both kids today* and we all had a good time. Nothing too stressful, aside from Elise waiting for a piece that never came, and easy enough to pick up.
*Separately, which I think helped.
This is so so so so good. Nearly 10 years old now.
Teachers often respond to students in a couple of common ways here:
- They talk about the right answers.
- They ask students to share their answers.
Both responses risk brain death. Neither one necessarily tells students, “There is a task for you here beyond listening.” >Neither one necessarily sets up a shelf in a kid’s mind to help them structure the ideas they’re hearing.
Do you often fall asleep? Aside from going to bed, obviously. I realise I rarely do. If I’m sleeping it’s 100% intentional.
(And i’m 90% doing it even though I don’t want to.)
Didn’t take my book when I went to the library with my class yesterday, between reading with them this one jumped out at me. It teases plenty and caught me. Picked it up despite reading about YA book. No regrets.

Today’s workout was 3x1km rows. To go with the 10x(1min row/2min rest) last Friday and the 5km row last weekend. Pushed the first one and then managed to mostly keep that pace for the second and third one. Though it got exponentially harder to do that. Last km was hard work!

I’m taking this as a sign of an amazing week…
Was aiming for a sub 20minute 5km row but didn’t have it in me today. 4th km I couldn’t hold the pace and didn’t have enough in the tank for the last km. Next time!
Hey, I’d like to stop the ride and get off for a bit please. Is that possible?
Finished reading: SEEKER by Arwen Elys Dayton 📚 I enjoyed this a lot. A magic order (sort of) adjacent to a real-ish world. Barely scratched the surface of the world and I was ok with that. Have already picked up the second from the school library.
