Today’s exercise: Trying to be patient while driving.
Japanese version of the game didn’t have English until I changed the PS5s system language to English (US)…
There are mornings when I wake and forget, for a moment, everything I’m supposed to carry.

Photo E took out of bedroom window tonight because she liked the clouds.
Would I like being a student in my own classroom? A reflection tool – Pernille Ripp
One of my favourite blogs about education, simple (in a good way), thoughtful and helpful.
My kids enjoyed this one about a cat with a busy day.
Finished reading: FLOOF by MCKINNON HEIDI 📚
Went in knowing nothing - always the best way and enjoyed the ride a whole lot. Rereading descriptions now I feel spoiled things that surprised me when they came up, but also, you need a reason to choose a book right?
Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh 📚
Got a massage yesterday while the grandparents watched the kids for a couple of hours. I fell asleep apparently.
Pizza and a couple of beers after the gym. This morning, wide awake at 4:30 and feeling off. Alcohol and me clearly don’t agree anymore.
Happy Murderbot day to those who celebrate.

Was awake anyway at 5am so forced myself out the door to interrupt some doomscrolling.
Much like the month of December, my packed calendar at the end of the school year has left me feeling like there’s not so much joy, as obligation and overwhelm. Instead of cruising into summer with a sense of relief, I’m sweating my way to the finish line—and possibly crying and stress snacking at certain points, too.

10 Insights from Dylan Wiliam on Formative Assessment and the Science of Learning
Just watched 5 minutes of Murderbot. Based off the intro, can I pretty please get a Murderbot figure?
It is striking that family income hardly predicted anything. What mattered was the parents’ level of education. Parents with more education appeared to have more children’s books in the house and a more positive relationship with their child. Both factors contributed to stronger language skills in the child, greatly influencing reading comprehension.
How Books and Chat Are More Important Than Money for Reading – From experience to meaning…
Murderbot is out tomorrow. Please be good, please be good, please be good.
Did not enjoy the skipping element of this workout but as is the motto for our programme “we do what’s effective, not what’s popular” so I got the work done. Hoping my legs will thank me one day! Also, pleased with doing all the chin ups strict.
An Immense World (Young Readers Edition) a book by Ed Yong and Rebecca Mills - Bookshop.org US
Oooooo. I struggled with the original (old readers edition) because it was just so detailed. But also, think the kids would love this.
It’s not about income – it’s about who sleeps soundly at night, free from that kind of low-grade financial anxiety that has become the background radiation of modern life for so many. This distinction – between those who experience financial stress as an ambient condition versus those who’ve been inoculated against it – explains so much about our fractured politics.
Our social and political divides aren’t just about income brackets or political parties, but about fundamentally different lived realities operating in parallel. A divide that is harder to measure; it must be experienced.
