Life

Baby girl got sick on day one of nursery and has remained worryingly poorly since. If memory serves, this is going to be the story until she’s scraping the bottom of the multifarious germ bucket (which, from the state of the coughs and impossibly snotty faces of all the kids I saw when I sat in for a settle, will be a very long time).

The flat is now unnervingly quiet on the days they’re both at nursery.

Auntie K came to hang with the kids on Wednesday. She’s been through the wringer the last year and seems finally to be coming out the other side. I really hope so.

Survived a Saturday/Sunday double-header of birthday parties for the little man’s nursery pals, hitherto unknown levels of sugar ingestion notwithstanding.

Work

A bit depressing to be back. Quite nice to be back. New colleagues seem good. I didn’t break anything.

Reading

• The Bridge by Iain Banks – this is going to haunt me for some time – a really incredible work (that I wasn’t remotely ready for when I read it last, age 14). It’s prompted me to give Iain (M.) Banks’s Culture series another go
• First passages of rolled-up Herculaneum scroll revealed – rare sighting of a not depressing use of AI

Running

• Tuesday Hills
• Thursday 3 x Swain’s
• Sunday LSR
