Yumo (4yo) is LOVING Shape Island on Apple Tv+. We’ve just ordered the books as a result. 📺
(I might be loving it too.)

Conditioning workout today.
On Assault Bike
5x15 secs
3x 1:15min
1x 3min
The first 5 intervals were just horrible. It’s amazing how long 15 seconds can be.
Today I am grateful for calling my parents.
烧烤
Consistency first. 6th day of exercise this week. #xmasabs24
247 on Wii Bowling. Feel like I’ve peaked.
There’s a difference
Between screen time all alone
And altogether
Just finished catching up on Craig Mod’s pop-up newsletter TOKIO TŌKYŌ TOKYO. Always a pleasure.
Today I am grateful for reading and not sleeping so I can finish a book. Such a pleasure.
Started tidying my desk. I have issues with throwing stuff that’s my problem.
Finally got around to ordering my photos for my 1 photo a day project and have started a new album for January.
Admittedly I just ordered photos for July through December but better late than never.
I am most at peace
In enforced rest periods

Elise is loving this beatboxing sequencing app. It’s a whole lot of fun. Here’s her latest effort called Timing.
Timing - Incredibox
Time to exercise: 30minutes (total)
Time to start exercising: 2 hours
Before exercise - Feel unmotivated. Things are hard. I am powerless to resist endless scrolling of Reddit and Jetpack Joyride.
Exercise - 2 rounds of 100 lungers + 50 squats
After… Washed up. Put the washing out. Shaved. Watched a whole Youtube video without switching tabs.
How do you deal with your phone photos? Mine sort of just pile up and up…
Young Poppy in Mythic Quest Season 3 is uncanny. 📺
Speed ran through this. It’s not Rivers of London but still enjoyable. Makes me think about the two non-fiction books I’ve been not been able to finish for months. Despite wanting to read them I just can’t bring myself to.
Finished reading: Forged by Benedict Jacka 📚
When you wake and your dreams are just precious thoughts. Like your subconscious and conscious are flowing into each other.
Today I am grateful for table tennis at lunch with colleagues 🏓️
Today I am grateful for dancing to disco with the kids.
Today I’m grateful for Yumo and I having the best time playing Super Mario 3D World this afternoon. Chasing each other round and round to pick up and throw the other.
Love these books so much. One of those series where I love the world the author has created. The story is almost secondary sometimes. Always a little sad when it’s over.
Finished reading: Amongst Our Weapons by Ben Aaronovitch 📚
The hardest part of being a parent.
Apart from the terrifying thought of outliving your kids*.
Is maintaining composure, patience in the face of them and their chaos.
Yesterday my eldest and I fell out. Today, to her, it was like it never happened.
And yet.
I can’t stop thinking about it.
We’ve been talking about being kind to her brother. “Yes but he doesn’t help me!” “I know that, but then if you don’t help him, he won’t help you and then you won’t help him and forever and ever you won’t help each other.”
Except, do I as a parent hold myself to this standard?
The other driver cutting in the line that I could let in but normally don’t.
I can’t stop thinking about it.
*And all the other stuff, obviously.
