Working hard!
Working hard!
Morning jigsaws.
In other news one of my 7 year old students made me realise my chess skills are not really what I remembered them to be!
Doing jigsaws with Elise made me realise that being patient with students/kids who are learning is just emotionally taxing. Especially when it a your day job too.
Day 10 is sponsored by Ted Lasso and the song Risk It All by Ella Henderson.
Does anyone use Bitwarden?
I currently use Lastpass but undecided about paying or switching to something.
It’s 5:45am and I’m having a coffee and a little cry watching Ted Lasso.
Dealing with money stuff and other stuff I find stressful is difficult enough and more so when the only time I can do it is between 9 and 10pm at night when I really don’t want to.
Day 10
Beer and Splendor


Chilli cucumber!
Day 9 Yumo was looking over the back of the sofa, like a meerkat. Tigger and his blanket held tightly. Daddy? Yes Yumo? He makes a kissing noise with his mouth. Good morning Yumo
❤️
Day 8
The conversations I have with my kids. Where 东西 is Chinese for thing.
Him: 东西
Me: pardon? What do you want?
Him: 东西
Me: 东西吗?
Him: yes
Me: 你要什么东西?
Him: I don’t know东西
Good chat
Front squats 7x1
Day 7
Believe.
Didn’t think I had the energy but managed my first sub 20minute 5k row today!
Yumo jumps in too!
Volleyball!
Love that this coffee shop is so close to wear we live. ☕️



Day 5


Would often read Wirecutter for advice about what to buy, so sad to see it go behind the NYTs paywall.
凉面 is a Szechuan snack that’s cold noodles mixed with chilli and a few other things. So delicious.
Still no Dune release date in China.
Nooooooo
Last year I taught Year 1 (kindergarten) and had been doing so for 5 years. This year I’m in Year 3 (grade 2).
I caught myself noticing how different I act because of the differences in age. Only two year but a world apart.
