From Ted Lasso’s talk of fathers, rewatching Arrival and it’s part about children, the book [The Garderner and the Carpenter] that I’m trying to read and my own mental health this week. I’ve spent too much time thinking of myself, myself as a father, my relationship with my wife, our relationship with our children and our own children.
It has been overwhelming. It is overwhelming. It will always be.
Sunday.
Hiding
(Apologies in advance, I have searched before asking!) I like the idea of using my domain for my email but can’t seem to get my head around custom domains with iCloud. I currently just have my domain registered, as that’s all I need for Micro.blog. If I wanted to use that domain for iCloud mail would I need to pay my domain registrar? I assume I would since I can’t see where to update the MX settings.
As a teacher, I’ve written countless reports. Today was the first time I’ve recieved one. It’s weird. Trying to read between the lines, thinking what this means about my child. Do not like!
Day 24
Day 23
Day 22
A rough day, today
Of my kids being themselves
Work weighing heavy
Day 21
Living While Black, In Japan is making me reflect on my time in China. Will I ever return to the UK? As well as the question I’m forever wondering, where’s home?
Day 20
Very happy!
Day 19
One of the things [Uncle Alex] found objectionable about human beings was that they so rarely noticed it when they were happy. He himself did his best to acknowledge it when times were sweet. We could be drinking lemonade in the shade of an apple tree in the summertime, and Uncle Alex would interrupt the conversation to say, “If this isn’t nice, what is?” So I hope that you will do the same for the rest of your lives. When things are going sweetly and peacefully, please pause a moment, and then say out loud, “If this isn’t nice, what is?”
I think about this a lot. Though not as much as I should.
How much do we do this? Think about, how, what we are experencing is, nice…
Not as much as we should.
Coffee and noodles for brunch
Dinner out
Day 17
烧烤！So good!
Day 16
The cleaner always sorts the papers on my desk and honestly it’s the best.
Day 15
Meet the World’s First Carbon-Neutral Soccer Club
Just up the road from where Mum grew up.
Day 13
Sunday wasn’t great
Caught up inside my own head
Time to breathe and smile
