It has been an extremely horrible couple of weeks, so I very much need to do a gratitude.

I’m thankful for:

  • Nice colleagues
  • Leo riding their bike really well
  • Making Leo’s bike by taking apart Leo’s old bike and Nova’s old bike and forging some sort of Frankenstein’s bike out of the bits
  • Getting to go to the gym and go swimming
  • Nobody being in hospital right now
  • Being excited to start teaching term
  • Being safe at home
  • Nova arguing with me about how to say “Neolithic”
  • Leo really getting on with their new teacher
  • Chats with Mum
  • Kat being totally badass about doing a very large amount of parenting in my absence
  • My new Blender course
  • Getting to do more woodwork (Nova’s chair is taking shape — they are very sceptical)
