Foundation ⏤ Official Trailer | Apple TV+ Will be interesting to see what this is like. I haven’t read the books though.

Hanging about!

But if you’re at work, there’s not a lot of evidence that more stress is the best way to have less stress.

I said yesterday that, I feel stressed but I don’t know about what. There was nothing I could think of, at least. But I still felt that weight.

First full week back at work done. Of course, I don’t feel like I was good enough or doing enough and that I should be better and everything. It can’t be that, I always feel like that.

Maybe it was just that the weeks are constant in the way teaching small children is. That, there’s always something I could be doing. Planning, resourcing, contacting parents, displays, marking, sticking.

Yeah, maybe it was that!

Things I’ve eaten recently.

The first one was amazing. The second is a regular thing we have. You pick the meat and veg you want and then boil it in a delicious broth.

Ministers accused of failing to secure rights of Britons with foreign spouses in EU

This should absolutely not be surprising to anyone.

Pre-Brexit, it would have been easier for me, a Brit, to go and live in the EU with my non-EU wife then moving back to the UK.

Today I’m grateful that none of the micro.blog people seem to follow professional wrestling. So, I can open safely while avoiding the rest of the internet for fear of spoilers!

Climbing, though technically I always did bouldering was one of my favourite things to do in the UK.

I liked that you could go and do it on your own. Just kind of hang out, work through some problems, unwind a little. On the occasions I did go with others, I like the social aspect of it that isn’t the same in climbing. It’s much easier for everyone to try and complete the same route, for example.

Anyway. Lyra and I went today to a place and it reminded me how much I enjoyed it!

(1) Worrying about what other people might think (2) The distraction of trivia and melodrama (3) The desire for perfection (4) Simply not being bold enough (5) Not having pen nor paper at all times (6) Believing things should be fair (7) Not starting. 

The Seven Greatest Barriers to your Best Work

Feeling this today, first week back at school in a new year level.

We’ve talked about being present before, but it’s worth repeating: The key to great parenting is presence. Being where you are, while you’re there.

Daily Day

I love my job, right
But in it, there’s elements
That stop me sleeping

Is that just me?

Day 5 - Her riding is so much better! Today she made her next step and fell off. We’ve stopped today but hopeful she’ll be willing to get back on again later.

Day 5

We’re all watching Ted Lasso right? Surely not a coincidence?!

New board!

Also, definitely noticed that I should have eaten something before exercising.

Day 2 with mum. Who needs helmets?!

Summer holiday workouts done. Back to school tomorrow. Hoping to maintain the consistency…

Day 1 of learning to ride a bike went pretty well! Mostly me that was the nervous one

Writing

Apparently yesterday was two years to the day that we arrived back in China after visiting the UK.

So, that means we haven’t left China in over two years！

An Italian Tourist Walks into an Olive Garden… — Trip Out

Reminds me of when my Chinese wife had a Chinese takeaway in the UK.

“This is not Chinese food.”

Asked Siri to play some music to go with morning coffee. So we’re listening to Linkin Park, System of a Down and Black Sabbath. Thanks Siri!

New passport…
