“I’m a believer in the ordinary and the mundane. These guys that talk about ‘quality time’ — I always find that a little sad when they say, ‘We have quality time.’ I don’t want quality time. I want the garbage time. That’s what I like. You just see them in their room reading a comic book and you get to kind of watch that for a minute, or having a bowl of Cheerios at 11 o’clock at night when they’re not even supposed to be up. The garbage, that’s what I love." Jerry Seinfeld
Elise: Mum! Dad! Yumo threw a new toy out the window. (We live on the 3rd floor)
Us: What. What happened?
Elise: Well, not out the window but it’s gone down behind the bed (against the wall)
Us: Those are not the same things.

These are perhaps my favourite noodles. And I find it difficult to explain why.
They’re spicy, obviously and I haven’t got a clue what’s in them apart from the obvious. Noodles, meat, chick peas, some green and dried chillis. The ‘sauce’ is addictive. You feel it all the way down, as the flavours hit your tongue, the back of your throat and later, still, sitting in your stomach. Further still, I’ll remember them tomorrow…
No regrets!

Wordle’s original url now redirects to the new one. Which means that it’s stopped working in China unfortunately.
I like the challenge of Wordle and sometimes I do want to get it in the least number of guesses.
But… I do like that it lets me connect with lots of people outside of China. It’s a nice reason, excuse maybe, to message people everyday.

I may have complained in the past that some in some Sichuan dishes the meat is so small and bony as to not be worth the effort. This dish the meat was small but not bony. I found this acceptable!
We are loving Peacemaker.
Though, my biggest concern is Eagley’s well-being.

Does everyone else write notes and ideas for Wordle? I can’t imagine not doing it.
Not the gym I want
And it is far from perfect
But it is enough
Elise just said, “It’s cuddle time mister!” to me.

Loved this story. To the boy for doing it and for the library running with it.

The watch strap broke on my old one but it still fits Elise!
We synchronised watches too!

CrossFit Linchpin workout today. Good to be moving but this is the second day in a run that I’ve run!

I can’t focus to write it properly. So here’s a list.
I runned. Just went out and did it. We joke that we don’t run in our little group but not because we can’t but because it isn’t practical.
一诺千金yi nuo qian jin. One of the reasons I like my class is they “throw the stuff” we try to teach them back in our face. Got to respect that. In this case it’s a Chinese phrase, saying? That means, ‘do what you say’. I’m constantly hearing it from them and am a better teacher and human being because of it.
I’m mostly introverted. And most of the time living in a non-native language speaking bubble in another country is ok. Sometimes it isn’t and that’s hard. Today it’s that Lyra has people to go meet and I don’t feel there’s anyone, my closest friends might as well be on another planet.
I am loving both Peacemaker and After Live for being both crude but also having this human moments that makes me cry.
I think that’s it. Now coffee.
