Week 22/2023: A weekend of theatre
Week of 29 May 2023 A weekend of theatre! The SpongeBob Musical Kramstable was in his school’s production of The SpongeBob Musical, which they’ve been working on since school started in February. No, I didn’t know SpongeBob was a musical either until Kramstable told me that’s what they were...
Week 21/2023: Thinking and planning
Week of 22 May 2023 Thinking and planning This week was a bit of a thinking and planning week. Like last week (and, spoiler alert, next week), I did very badly on tracking my habits so there’s no update there. I need to review everything, put a few new...

Week 16/2023: The central cookery book

Week 15/2023: The air we breathe
Week of 10 April 2023 I love short weeks! I mean, with a public holiday the week isn’t any shorter but I have more of it to myself. So it’s actually a longer week from that perspective. We had visitors over the easter break and what else do you...
Week 14/2023: A slow, painful week
