Forty and one day.
Sidecar is great. It just worked.
Now I need something to hold up my iPad. Any recommendations for an iPad stand?
Pretty good present haul this year. iPad, skateboard, booze, some Lush body spray, French fries and a cold brew coffee maker.
Parents got me a cake. Sponge with dried pineapple, rosemary, mint, seaweed and meat floss.
While I appreciate the sentiment, the cake was not my cup of tea. My Chinese colleagues liked it though!
Not going to the gym because I’m skateboarding with Elise.

each haircut
each set of outgrown clothes
each start of a new school year
moves us closer to that thing we dread
our kids growing up
our kids leaving
this is not to depress you
it’s to help you enjoy now
while it’s here
while they are
the past is past
put our mistakes behind us
stop being distracted or too busy
rededicate ourselves — to parenting
our most important job
let us begin afresh, afresh, afresh
for
today is the very last time
they will be this age
again
Paraphrased from Daily Dad
This post about being a father and a teacher is basically me. Strange to read something that so perfectly describes your own life. Describes the struggles I feel I have trying to be a good father and teacher while not giving myself enough time.
Not sure why I’m shushing the kids as I sneak up on something in Breath of the Wild.
Also, my horse is called Timmy
Everything in your life has a tiny string tugging at your attention.
I like this way of thinking about minimalism.
Excited that Craig Mod’s new Pop-up Newsletter is from near where I grew up. Starting on thhe 12th.

Coffee machine isn’t working. Worst day ever.
So. My Chinese credit card will work to buy books from Amazon but not digital products like a Nintendo eShop code.
This job is hard enough. You are flawed enough. You have screwed up and will screw up enough. We don’t have room or time or the luxury for guilt. We have to focus on right now.

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.

I love teaching but on the days you’re not feeling it it’s hard work. And it’s not the acting enthusiastic, it’s how drained I feel at the end of it.
Walked 30minutes to see how far I’d get while listening to a podcast.
When you open Wordle to realise you’ve already solved it.
