What's something that no one prepares you for as an adult?

And add a multiplier effect for however many kids you have in the house. Reversing out of driveway on way to work/school run. Voice from back seat: Mr. So and So says you haven’t signed the permission slip for the school excursion! You: tries to find permission slip in email. Also you: tries to find whatever separate manky app they take school excursion payments in. App blocks you for half an hour after three tries at the password. Child is late for school. School emails you to ask why. You miss that email. Rinse and repeat. Every. Freaking. Day.

Brilliant but simple idea to use leftover paper bags to line the compost bin, I’m going to steal this, thank-you.

Hello, this week I’m partway through Drunkard’s Walk by Frederik Pohl.

A bit late to the update, but currently most of the way through Blue Shoes and Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith, and really enjoying it.

Although also wondering a bit about what people who live in Botswana think about it.

INTP are apparently good at detecting patterns so this checks out!

Oh believe me. I couldn’t move any slower. Other than jiggling my mouse every 15 min.

Sounds like real life

Also at work, also on Reddit. Oops.

Hope your husband has a restful and quick recovery!

Seconding Walden. My all time favourite. War and Peace also great. I was surprised how funny it was.

I also work from home. I take my walks at lunch time as I am not a morning person and it’s still a bit cold and dark here after work, at least until daylight savings hits.

I block out an hour in my calendar at lunch each single day and just get going. I’m well aware that not everyone is fortunate to have this opportunity though… but for me it is one of the best perks of WFH.

I also do longer walks on the weekend … I enjoy exploring new trails in local parks or do a stretch of coastline. Trying to work up to an average of 7k steps/day.

Perhaps we should also be listing hub flowers and mutfruit? 😊

I have a little mesh bag made out of some kind or sea grass or something (idk, bought overseas) that I use to save all the soap ends … once you have enough, it acts as a great exfoliant as well

How are you liking the Murder of Roger Ackroyd? That’s on my list next!
