New passport…
New passport…
Double rainbow!
The UK government website says 11 weeks for a passport renewal from China…
Except, we got the email to say it has arrived 19 days after we dropped off the form.
Fair play.

There is no way Jamie Tartt would say, ‘blocks’ when refering to distance. There was another one but I’ve forgotten. That aside, the second episode was really good.
She’s taken them out.

Day 2 daddy hair care. All on my own!
Day 1 Daddy Haircare: Lyra did it today as I couldn’t. Onwards!
I want more apps with a finite scroll, which respect, rather than seek to consume, my time and attention.

My Ted Lasso stickers arrived!
HITT in front of the air con because it’s hot.
FYI New Ted Lasso today!
Since UK passport applications from abroad are now all sent to the UK for processing. I’m continuing to nervously await news about E’s passport renewal. Obviously the first sign was that they charged me. No news is good news…
I know I’ve been watching too much Justified because I want to wear a cowboy hat, eat fried chicken and bbq and drink bourbon. I’m resisting the guns bit.

Despite everything at least the Olympics is in a very close time zone to me!
I like this responseto the writing prompt:
When the robots revolted, a sizable chunk of the human population outright sided with them. Not out of cowardice, but on account of genuinely agreeing with the stand the machines were taking.
I’m at this stage where I’m reading it a chapter at a time and only in a situation I can properly focus. I can’t bring myself to read it any faster. I don’t want it to end! And so much is happening in the story.
I saw a thread on Reddit recently about whether people take time to digest books after reading them and I’ve been thinking a about that a lot. Do I? Should I? It makes me think as well about how I’m grateful for the tv shows I can’t binge.
I find applying for my passports for the kids incredibly stressful.
Just applied for a renewal for my daughter. I checked and double checked* and hope everything we’ve done is enough.
*Except the location of the office. Apparently it’s not where it was.
At the top tier of just about any sort of endeavor, you’ll find that the performers have coaches.
Pianists, orators and athletes all have coaches. In fact, it would be weird if we heard of someone on stage or on the field who didn’t have one.
And yet, in the world of business, they’re seen as the exception.
Part of the reason is that work feels like an extension of something we’ve been doing our whole lives. Figure skating isn’t like school, but showing up at work seems to be. “I’ve got this,” is a badge of honor.
