What case do you use for your iPad? Would you recommend it?
In other news. Our summer holidays this year are the longest ever.
But we’re going to be unable to leave China.
Great.
Really enjoying Knotwords. A new word game with a free daily puzzle.
Looks like it should be far simpler than it actually turns out to be.
Left my copy of Four Thousand Weeks somewhere when out for dinner. Apparently I bought it in November. I’m taking it as a sign from the universe.

At first try I think I much prefer the timeline without replies that you can now do in @Gluon!
We get so wrapped up in numbers in our society. The most important thing is that we are able to be one-to-one, you and I with each other at the moment. If we can be present to the moment with the person that we happen to be with, that’s what’s important. Fred Rogers
We were in the taxi on the way to school. Elise said something to me in annoyance, love (maybe) but not anger.
Her single word made me nameless. Could be anyone.
Isn’t.
It defines her as much as me and us.
There are 8 billion people in world. An incomprehensible number.
But she it only says it to me.
No. One. Else.
Dad.
Technology is great but the practicalities of trying to manage a class of using it can be “tricky”.
Decided to walk home and ended up walking home with a colleague, which was nice
Interesting chat during reading with the 7/8 year olds in my class about watching things when I was young. “You had to watch what was on tv at the time it was on. If you missed it then bad luck.”

I feel this one so much. Between craving solitude because life is so full between work and family and feeling loneliness because I’m stuck here in China.
