News from this side: babies who are nearly toddlers are exhausting; 6.5 year olds appear to have some prepubescent emotional rollercoaster thing that happens at this stage; In The Night Garden is still trippy AF; smutty romance books and Critical Role are a fine way to disassociate.

Well this is very pleasing, thank you.

Oh lawks! Sending lots of love and healing for Jafdad, and rest for Jafmum. And maybe an extra day off for you?

Been up for 21 hrs and somehow am still going? Back where I started in Smallest's room trying to get her to sleep so I can too. But in between we did eight modes of transport, a lot of coffee and snacks, five taskmaster tasks, won a medal, was delayed for an hour and started making a hat. Phew!

Oooh yay! I have the Wren and I love it very much. Wouldn't suit you as doesn't have a teeny enough nib but I enjoy the company as a whole!

Fortunate, really, that that's the name of the Taskmaster Event thingy we're doing. Could be delicious, could be a hodge podge of fuckery. It's a roll of the dice.

Solidarity for dealing with wailing children. Uhnnnnghhhhhh.

Fair tbh.

It all went as well as these things can, but now we're locked in our usual bedtime battle of convincing the tired baby to sleep. Good thing I'm more stubborn than her, bad thing is she tests my resolve every night.

It's going to be a challenging reentry process, is what I'm saying.

I just... Like access? To a range of materials? And probably our students would too?

I know I know, budgets. But I work with a School which spends a lot and honestly sometimes I think they could just share a bit more around. Or create and use OERs? Or even be aware of who they're publishing with.
