Talking about books (especially science fiction) and life.
Life includes antics of my kids, working flexibly and much more.

@qikipedia Totally random sentence.
What country?
What ages of children?
How is childcare defined?
Pretty much with young children it is near 24hrs a day (1440mins)

40yrs ago today- a phonecall yesterday offered us No73 kids show, so it's down to Maidstone for a soundcheck for Saturday's show. 200 miles now but this was before the M40 & M25 were completed. AND we've got to drive back to Polytechnic of Wales, Treforest for our gig later.

deleting later but my hot take of the day is that you can be there for your friends without expecting anything in return but you can also be sad when they dont show up for you

First look at ‘THE NIGHT MANAGER’ Season 2, starring Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman.

I feel seen

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

Earlier today, I had my back to my wife when I heard her say, “Do you want to keep this box?”

I froze. Keeping my back turned, I carefully replied, “Please don’t show me the box. I’ll immediately form an emotional attachment to it. Just put it in the bin. Don’t let me see it.”

We narrowly missed adding another box to my special box collection in the garage. But I’m sitting here now, thinking, “I wonder what kind of box it was. I wonder what it might have been useful for.”

This actually makes it sound rather positive 😃

D1, who was only born last Wednesday, starts big school this week. Here’s a poem by C Day Lewis for everyone who’s going through the same thing we are, and wondering how the hell that happened.

Love is proved in the letting go

[Jash Dholani @oldbooksguy]

CS Lewis believed that we write not to explain things, but to understand things. The writer goes to the blank page to crack a puzzle that matters to him. This is why streaming slop and AI art feel so empty: there is no artist behind the scenes trying to figure something out
