Such a lovely day yesterday. Sat outside a bar for about 8 hours just chatting.
Should my podcast feed look like this https://www.omrrc.com/podcast.xml? It’s not showing up in the Apple Directory and I don’t know why!
Seems like the episodes aren’t on Apple Podcast, not sure why. Uploading this to see what happens!
Bought some Nutella yesterday. It’s not lasting long. I considered hiding it from the kids but decided against it. It is what it is.
We have our parent teacher conferences tomorrow. The way we do it is that kids are off for the day and we have meetings all day. So, tomorrow our Year 1 (KG) Team will have 21 15-minute meetings with parents.

There’s a new Severance trailer but I’m going to hold out and just wait. I’d rather just watch it. Makes me think about how much I enjoy just watching films, knowing nothing about them.

My major criticism of Shrinking is that no one uses a phone case. Otherwise, I love it a lot. 📺
Finally went back to the gym tonight. Forced myself to take it easy. Glad to be back doing something.
Our reading book today was called “Chips” which meant we had to have a conversation about the difference between American and British usage. We didn’t get into fries, thankfully.

I said to a group chat yesterday how lots of things happen in China that I just kind of take for granted or at least, that I now consider normal. Normal, when compared to the UK.
I think this counts. The skate park, aside from not havingng any skaters, and play area is still full of young kids and their parents at 8pm on a Saturday night.
I was going to just watch MOTD to see the Arsenal game but my Spurs friend has already messaged me. So have looked the results up.
Just watched the first episode of The Cleaner with Greg Davies. I really enjoyed it. 📺
“Salted egg yolk dried meat floss glutinous rice” doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue and sure, it’s sounds pretty weird to this westerner. But… They’re so good.
I enjoyed this a lot. I tended to skim most of the science but don’t feel that took away from the story, which I was gripped by. Stayed up way past my bedtime to finish it.

Think I’m finally getting better, it’s been 2 weeks now. I feel it’s the not exercising has made everything unstable, work, family have all been a bit wobbly. Not a great time.
