Today is a national holiday in China so we get Tuesday off. I guess this is a little like what a 4 day work week feels like then?
But, most people get Monday off too but since that’s not a holiday they all had to work last Saturday!
The average runner runs too fast on their slow days and too slow on their fast days.

If you haven’t watched Jelle’s Marble Runs - marble racing with commentary - before then you really should. It has no right to be as fun as it is!
Because I saw this post on Metafilter of a similar computer version.
Elise has really taken to Santorini. Which is cool. Now, I have to prepare myself for her beating me…

Inspired by this Austin Kleon about a poem by Kenneth Koch about work life balance
Told school today that I won’t be travelling to the UK this summer. Was always the decision but still having made it feels heavy.
Our parent and teacher meetings today are all online.
21 15minute meetings today…
Giving up trying to update my Watch 3 but also don’t seem to be able to skip the update.
I’m happy with Pocketcasts on my iPhone but are there decent podcast apps for my Macbook you would recommend over the Apple app?
Four of us from work exercise 3 times a week in our school gym.m We write our workouts on the board. Yesterday was skipping and pull ups.
Got an email to ask what my summer plans were…
I know I’m not going to leave China for a host of reasons but don’t want to reply as that’s going to make it real.
In Literacy I asked students to do a piece of writing about ‘Home’ too, which isn’t helping.
So. Was reading a text with some students about bees.
So. Today I am grateful for bees and their honey. Which is delicious.
But. It got me thinking about where that honey has been… You know?!
Currently finding my son a whole lot of stress.
I love him so much.
Day 2. Power cleans and writing. Something for the body and something for the mind.
Finished reading: Slow Horses by Mick Herron 📚
Really enjoyed this. Going to have to resist reading these too fast.
Also, staying up past your bedtime to read is just the best… And the worst.
Left work a little earlier today. I find teaching is a job where there’s always something else I could/need to do. But for the sake of my mental health, I need to start letting some things go.
Feeling much better after doing some exercise yesterday.
