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.
Currently reading: Slow Horses by Mick Herron 📚 in advance of the new Apple TV show.
Currently, this is cutting a little too close to home.
The Batman
Saw The Batman last night. Not knowing much about it. After getting over the idea it wasn’t Nolan or Bale, I really enjoyed it. Even if I felt it dragged towards the end. 🎥
Also, giant IMAX cinemas are THE BEST.
I could potentially travel _ home_ to the UK from China this summer but realistically it’s not happening. Cost. Current requirements for re-entering China. Potential changes to those. That I would have to do it alone.
Where is home?

There’s no reason to rush. There’s no reason to rush through bedtime or dinner or the game. There’s no reason to rush through anything or to anywhere. Because what we’re rushing from is our children and the limited time we get with them—the amount of which is never guaranteed.
So slow down. Time flies. Time flies fast enough on its own. Appreciate any time you get with your kids. Don’t rush away from it.. Savor it.

You screwed up.
No way to change that. But the one thing about parenting is that it gives you second chances. Kids forget.
While you cannot undo what has been done, you can choose to take these second chances as they come.

I’ve been rereading asofterword. I loved that site so much.
I feel like

It doesn’t feel worth it.

Had a lovely evening, some pizza and beers with friends. Time to go home and relax…
