I love you.
I’m proud of you.
It’s you I like.
You are special.
You are enough.
You’re the most important thing in the world to me.
At the end of your life, do you think, for one second, that you will kick yourself for saying that too much?

Urgh. Wordle. Lyra old word list because the new site doesn’t load in China. Everyone else I send my results to, around 10 people at this point, are likely using the new word list. Which is fine, except I think I can’t do both because tomorrow I will know the word! (I think)
Today’s solution diverges from the original Wordle’s :(
Very confusing at the moment!

The wonderful world of Chinese hi-fi
The Verge isn’t blocked in China so I occasionally open it during the day and found this artcle about Chinese headphones (IEMS) and how it’s a whole thing.
Now, I’m resisting the urge to buy some… And an iPod Classic.
“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!

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!
