Day 39
Maybe make a change
Maybe do the opposite
Will that be the spark?
Got my mug of dirty, brown water ready for the season finale!
This article on words of Korean origin being added to the Oxford English dictionary is interesting.
The OED said the inclusion of so many Korean words was recognition of a shift in language usage beyond the English-speaking world.
It makes me think two things. First is that always have some Korean students in my class and have learned that some words in Korean are borrowed similarly, but said slightly differently, in a Korean style. Like helicopter. Which reminds me of a Mexican girl who when asked her English name would say her name fairly flat but if you asked her her Mexican name would say it completely differently. As well that in our bilingual family, we sometimes just use Chinese words when speaking English without thinking about it. For example 鸡蛋仔dan zai，which is a kind of waffle the kids love.
That’s three things isn’t it.
Fireworks. Love this one that Lyra took
Cheese coffee is back!
We went back again for breakfast. So spicy. So delicious. We got there just before it got really busy, thankfully.
Day 2: Dark
9 years ago, 7 years ago and this morning. ❤️
Where are the kids? They’re too quiet…
Oh, they’re hiding behind the sofa playing Mario Kart.
Touch - October Photo Challenge
Last teaching day in the old building. Next week we move into the new building.
The only thing worse than there being a giant spider in the office…
There not being a giant spider, anymore.
They must be here somewhere.
This is for @gaby
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!

A rough day, today
Of my kids being themselves
