Spent a whole lot of time looking at G-Shocks…
Wordle has the additional bonus for my wife and her friends to learn lots of new English words!
Up at 5:15. Today was easier and I was happier to do it. Was drifting in and out of sleep. Then ended up thinking about my after school activity and then got up to do some work to prepare for that. The activity will be interesting in that I’ll be teaching Elise. The first time!
Quincy Jones:
Nadia Boulanger used to tell me all the time, “Quincy, your music can never be more or less than you are as a human being.” It’s okay to play fast and all that other stuff, but unless you have a life experience, and have something to say that you’ve lived, you have nothing to contribute at all. So I decided to live my life, and I did.

We do not teach because by doing so we can eradicate the differences between rich and poor. We do not teach to educate society, or to create a better one. We do not educate our children so that they have skills that will make them more productive workers. Our responsibility is more profound. We teach because, as Tressell has said, our children are the heirs of all that has gone before them and by teaching them well we gift them their birth right to the fruit of our civilizations.
Day 146
Stand up and walk away
Your desk, your work, from busy
There’s a world outside!
Up at 5:30 and feeling so much better for it. Have had time to think, dwell and do todays Wordle!

Yeah I like this list.
My issue is accepting that my balcony is enough when I want something like this from here.

Team effort*
*Lyra sent me a screenshot of hers before id got to the third line of my effort.
Alarm set for 5:15
Rolled out of bed at 5:50
Decent start. Managed a little time to myself.
Keep going.

Monday to Friday I get up at 6:10 at the latest. I try to go to bed by 10, though am pretty inconsistent about this.
I want to try and get up earlier and do a workout or sit and think before the kids get up.
Just made me realise that going to bed too late and losing sleep because I have to get up at a certain time is ok but not going to bed earlier to get up earlier. At least in my head!

Board Game Areana scratches the board game itch but it’s just not the same. At least has given me the opportunity to play some games, just wished people chatted more…
But then that’s why I like board games, just an excuse to spend time with people.

With thanks to @maique for the idea. This is all off the top of my head but hoping to make notes for next week.
📺 Peacemaker - Didn’t know it was a thing. Glad that it is. I like the comedy parts of this a whole lot. Some of the interactions are just great.
🎵 I found my old Blogspot account and have started listening to Maximillian Hecker - Rose a whole lot. Also, this Viper Diva set @hollyhoneychurch posted is amazing. They’re playing in Manchester tonight.
🤼♂️ Glad to see Moxley back on AEW. Always grateful to see men talking about having problems.
✒️ Haiku a day continues but it’s become a chore. So I need to either make the effort again or stop. Since I can’t decide yet. It continues.
👨🏾🏫 Work continues. I beat myself up about the things I percieve to be doing wrong and fail to celebrate or recognise any successes.
♥️I struggle with work and home and them both being emotionally draining and that that results in me being emotionally drained. I battle with keeping my patience and beat myself up when I don’t.
I am looking forward to talking about todays Wordle with people tomorrow.
*I’m going to forget. I know it.
Dapper.
Dapper is a strange word isn’t it.
Monday to Friday
I smell AMAZING.
