Life

Went shopping for a kitchen, flooring, and tiling on my birthday. What a treat. I think we made a decision about floors (inevitably the most expensive decision we could have made) and ruled out a lot of kitchens. Quickly learned that shopping for tiles is a decision fatigue nightmare. All told it was a fairly fun and unusual experience. And we rounded it off with a lunchtime pint in Farringdon, which was lovely.

I survived the week while bae rode a wave of sickness. Then we’d planned to stay in a hotel at Heathrow on Saturday night for a flight to Chania early Sunday, but just as I got the little man home from the park so that we could set off, he threw up and promptly passed out. So instead we let him try to sleep it off and opted to drive to the airport at 4am. Little man, having continued to be sick through the night, remarkably managed to refrain from puking in the car even though he maintained a particularly peaky shade of green throughout the journey. The flight wasn’t fun, but it could have been worse.

We hadn’t told the little man that his auntie Kika and uncle Karl were coming on holiday too and the look on his face when he saw them by the pool was priceless. It’s hot even for Crete. I’m here for it but slightly concerned about how we’re going to stop the kids from frying. Probably ice cream.

As soon as we’d finished tea and got back to the room I realised that I was feeling pretty rough – time for me to join in the family illness fun (and textbook first-day-of-the-holiday vibes). I proceeded to feel very cold and sweat more than I ever have, for about 10 hours. I’m quietly confident whatever I’ve got isn’t going to survive long in this heat though (I’ve no idea if that’s how it works but I’m sticking to it).

I’ve once again resolved to stay off my phone for the duration of the holiday.

Work

I finished the first part of the SJC. I did some infantilising security training (for the third time). I’m sure I did some actual work, but no idea what it was rn.
