Finally watched KPop Demon Hunters with the 6yo. She loved it (she has been bopping along to Golden for months already).

Do you think she missed me while we were away?

Back from a week in France where we had pastries every day for breakfast. Considering releasing a flock of sparrows into the car to clear the crumbs

Playing Hero Slam from @jamiesmart.bsky.social with the boy and I completely lost it when I turned over this card

Why are so many USian dogs called Goose?

Leavers' Assembly today. They sang Good Riddance. And I was a mess

I must have eaten the last of my Mother's Day creme eggs without realising it was the last one and now I am sad

Ok so #TheWheelOfTime S3 E6. Good episode, again some moments from the books truthfully retold. However, I cannot get over the fact that of all the accents they could have chosen for the inhabitants of the rough, seedy city they went with... Scouse

Just watched S3E4 of #TheWheelOfTime and I cannot sleep because it was so. Damn. Good. Very emotional that they portrayed such a pivotal book moment so truthfully. Wow #WotSkies

What's wrong with my cat?

We've had this planned for ages - Ivy, the inventor of the Adventuremice which were her first chapter books @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social @philipreeve.bsky.social

Critical thinking and reasoning skills definitely need teaching and developing in this day and age. Mainly against the spread of false information, bots, AI posts etc but also so people can understand the fucking joke on a cute dog account

Happy #WorldBookDay I have an extra day to work on costumes as school aren't dressing up till tomorrow. We may do a library trip this evening

Boosting in my own small way, please share to make sure any UK authors, illustrators, creatives in general are involved in this #booksky

New hobby: reporting all the reels about autism "remission" for false health information. So ableist and a load of absolute rubbish

Ok, so they whole starting the day again kind of worked. I took the dog for a run and we all ended up heading to IKEA for the evening

First official day of half term, we've already had extra screen time, kids whacking each other with wooden weapons, spilt orange juice thanks to the kitten. Sent everyone back to bed for 10 minutes and we're going to start again

On the other end of the reading spectrum, my 11yo has just finished his first Agatha Christie and LOVED it!

Looking forward to this! My 5yo absolutely loves these books. Such beautiful illustrations and the stories are super wholesome with just the right level of peril and adventure! 💙📚

Today I was very grown up and cleared the hallway shelf and tidied the shell collection on the bathroom window ledge. Tomorrow, we tackle the garage!

Her Majesty's Royal Coven. Quite liked it! I had no idea what to expect when I started it. A good solid story, some tense moments, twists and a nod to current gender conversations. Some of the dialogue was a little clunky? Cheesy? But I did enjoy the 90s nostalgia! 💙📚 #booksky

11yo has been invited to his mate's tomorrow and I asked what they'd be doing. "Important things". Turns out they've started a coven.

Panto today, penultimate performance again came through for comedy value. Captain Hook's fake leg on the outside of his horse came off and he had to finish the scene on his knees

I've become able to read more than one book at a time! A non fiction for daytime/commute and fiction for bedtime. This is my current set up:

Awake at 0645, out of bed 0715, present opening, turkey in oven, cheeky 15 minute nap, eat, walk with oldest's new scooter, Wallace and Gromit, kids' bedtime. Just time for a plate of nibbles before I pass out from exhaustion

About to watch the last #LowerDecks and I'm already an emotional mess

Whammed! Two years on the trot I've been out on the first day

Finally, finally got hold of daughter's Xmas present. Who knew that a wearable hooded blanket with a cute cat face on the hood would be so hard to find?

Guess I'm over here now! Will try to remember to post stuff since I got out of the habit after *gestures vaguely at everything*
