Another day another game. This one is called Blokus. You place your pieces as others do. Simple enough for Yumo to pick up and so we can all play together.

Enjoyed this one. Happy to keep moving.
Yumo decided he wanted to write the numbers to 100. Which he did!

Is 8pm too early to go to bed on a Saturday?!
In the coffee shop, I realised I liked the music. Turns out this lady was playing this instrument. Like an inverted steel drum, maybe? We loved the sounds she was making.
I don’t cross the road
For a moment, I’m in control

The Shapes Trilogy by Mac Barnett
I think Square is my favourite book in the trilogy. Is Square a genius?
Also there’s an animated version on Apple Tv. ri
Bit of intensity.
3 rounds of
50 skips
30 wall balls 10kg
10 clean and jerk 52.5kg
Rest 1:1 between rounds
First round went too fast, second round was ok and third round all the wind had gone out of me.
Jeff Bezos Rowing Boat - YouTube
The pseudonymous Irishman known as “Bobby Fingers” has only made three videos since launching on YouTube last August, but each one is an unhinged masterpiece.
If you haven’t seen them before, Bobby Fingers makes elaborate 1:9 scale dioramas depicting embarrassing moments in the lives of famous men, showing off his talents in model-making with a range of techniques from Bronze Age wax casting to modern 3D laser scanning.
But each video veers off wildly in different directions, interspersed with field trips, interviews, deadpan commentary, surrealist humor, and inevitably, a musical number. via

Today’s exercise goal, as it is everyday, to turn up.
All energy gone
Burnt out by angry moments
Leaving nothing left
Apparently I’m at the stage where I’m buying books that I won’t read anytime soon soon…
For weekends remove gym.

My third job, after family and work, continues.
That of trying to find a new job. It’s ups and downs. I want to do it properly, but finding the time to that is hard after the other two. It’s also stressful for a few different reasons. One of which is it means our family will be moving, definitely to a new city but potentially a new country too. The other is that I just struggle with the whole process. Of crafting my cv and cover letter appropriately and being happy with it. Of, already worrying about interviews when that’s not even on the horizon. I just find it a lot.
I teach because I enjoy teaching and this is not! I’m good at the teaching part and find it difficult selling myself, highlighting my good attributes.
I know a few people here doing a Weekly Post, either music or a personal recount or ‘this is what I found interesting this week’. I’m going to try that this week, I think. How is TBD…
Quick lesson in the importance of looking behind you when reversing.
“Did You Like School? I Didn’t” (David Labaree)
I’m bringing this up because people like me – educators and educational researchers – need to remind themselves that school is not an unalloyed good.
