'Few people can resist the temptation to try a little amateur research in a department quite outside their own, if only for the satisfaction of showing how successful they would have been had they only taken it up seriously.' - "oh, whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad", M. R. James.

A pub called The Side Quest and the owner just did a random side quest and literally ripped out a door with a crowbar. 'yeah, I really don't like doors'. Fair enough I suppose 🤨

Finally picked up a physical book again after 7 years of mostly audiobooks (because child). Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari. Only one chapter in and my mind is already blown by how clearly he explains thing I kinda knew, but wasn't able to put into words. 🤯

Questions I did not see coming #31: Mum.. Did you know flies poo when they're flying?

The joys of being jolted awake by the 6 year old screaming bloody murder at 3am due to a pulled muscle. 😳
She's fine, fell asleep within minutes. I am not fine and expect to be awake for at least another 24 hours.. 🥴

Walking through the woods with the 6 year old. "mum, can I climb that tree?" "yeah sure!" "can you hold my velociraptor?" *hands me an imaginary lead*
Well, this walk just got a whole lot more interesting!

Ever ended up in London by accident with a tired and hungry 6 year old? Because that's the kinda day I'm having.. #wrongtrain #mumbrain 🤦🏻‍♀️

This just made my day ❤️

Today's post lunch energy dip was very effectively resolved by the bird that flew into the living room.
Great tits may be small but they sure are bringers of chaos! 😳

How to deal with BS reviews by our local Chinese chef.👏 Looking forward to eating there again soon! Their food and service is brilliant 👍

Not sure when I learned about Brutalist architecture, but I'm pretty sure I was not 6 years old. Amazing work by our local Art Centre!
