I had half an hour to kill so I popped into Readings Kids, as you do. Found one of my favourite childhood picture books, The Story of Ferdinand, and got teary reading Don’t Forget by Jane Godwin and Anna Walker, so unfortunately I had to buy them 😬

Doesn’t pay to kill time in a kids’ bookshop…

It’s been a massive few weeks for us, with multiple hospital visits for my eldest & very little sleep. New specialist has referred us for a 5-day hospital admission to try to figure out what’s going on. In the meantime … zzzzz

PS: Paramedics are worth their weight in gold. Pay them all the money.

Timeline cleanse

Just finished The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. Oof, the feels at the end. 😭

(ID: Book cover, The Midnight Library)

Mem Fox has published a new picture book. Exciting! One of my favourite pic books is ‘Whoever You Are’. Every time I read it to my girls when they were little, I would cry 😂 The use of repetition and perfect rhythm … they’re so important in picture books. Oh, and Mem Fox is the best!

At Pearl Jam last night in Melbourne 😊

Trying to read in bed at night instead of doomscrolling. Loving this.

Miserable day in Melbourne today. Here’s what the furry butts in my house think about that.

One of my girls has baking as her #autism special interest. Look at these babies!

Obviously my cat is the most beautiful cat that ever existed.
