Anyone else’s apple news app look like this?
Watching question of sport and daughter (8) is answering “ANDY MURRAY!” for everything. Sounds annoying but her comic timing is *perfect* 👌
Can we talk about how it isn’t actually Shakespeare’s birthday today, but IS the anniversary of his death? No one knows for sure when he was born. 🤷♀️
Sourced emergency coffee beans. Went to gym. Hot shower. Gardening. Sunshine. Impromptu (much needed) play date for Boy child. New staircase finished by genius husband. Easy healthy dinner. Glass of wine. Lovely evening. Happy kids. 10/10
Got up early to tidy the kitchen. Went to the gym. Drank coffee. Took the kids to the playground. Planted a new tree in the garden. Made a nice dinner. Should have drunk more water. Didn’t need those biscuits this morning. Sore neck all day. 7/10.
The odds of getting a blood clot: • from the contraceptive pill - 1 in 2000 • from flying - 1 in 1000 • from Covid - 1 in 10 • from AstraZeneca: 1 in 250,000 Get vaccinated.
13 attempts to phone my GP, finally get through and I’m put on hold for 25 mins, only to be told (for the second time this week) that all the appointments for today have gone. The system is very broken. As am I but that’s a matter for my GP... if I ever get an appointment.
How am I feeling? Well, Fasting App on my phone, I’M REALLY HUNGRY AND VERY GRUMPY. (Getting back to intermittent fasting after the Easter weekend is hard 😩)
Egg in an egg. One 8yo is underwhelmed. The other is potentially going to eat the lot in one go. 3yo is bemused.
Just found a lump of rancid butter (the cook in me estimates about 20g worth) wedged between the kitchen worktop and a cupboard at the eye level of, say, ooh I dunno.... a 3 year old? 🧐
Week 3 of intermittent fasting and I can confirm I’m still not ready to wear these jeans. *parp*
Sorry to interrupt. Is ‘the outdoor’ (off licence) a Brummie thing or UK-wide? Usage: ‘Where’s dad?’ ‘He’s just popped to the outdoor’
Third week of intermittent fasting has begun and I’m finding Mondays quite hard. Felt really hungry this morning, made more difficult because youngest is at home all day and she asks for snacks constantly. Only half an hour to go until lunch.
Son (8) has called a family meeting so I’m hiding in the dining room in the dark eating meringue nests.
Another dull intermittent fasting update. Energy levels are amazing: just been for a run and knocked 3 mins off my average 5km time. (Also noticed a substantial reduction in how much my tummy wobbles when I run. Bonus.)
YES. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING: 'HARRY, THESE ARE TWO ATTRACTIVE, PERFECTLY SERVICEABLE AND ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT BLOCKS OF HEAVY, CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION AND ONLY SOMEONE WITH AN EMPTY HEAD WOULD PROPOSE THEIR REMOVAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY'.
