oh my god the school admin is real! i would say now we’ve reached year 2 i don’t open it as much as i should. there is always so much to remember and i feel like the day ends at 2pm mentally. you’re always either preparing to drop or collect them. podcasts recommendations are great thanks. you were in my top 3 summer reads thought you’d like to know! xx

Hope all is going well with your son settling into school, it is quite an adjustment! I am finding that my whole day/life has been quite rearranged. It feels really different and both hands off and demanding at the same time, I can’t explain it.

Thank you for your great recommendations etc. I loved the Guardian piece, thank you for sharing, I feel as though many of my feelings were validated by Rhiannon’s words. And also the grief of having lockdown babies going to school 😢 Thank you for sharing all. And yes Race Around the World, so good, this time it traced the steps of my South American adventure in 2009 which tbh feels like an entirely separate life! xx

Oh that is interesting Lyndsay, pre kids is a different life I know that feeling must be cool watching it with a little more knowledge.

Ah I’m glad you have been reading the recs, I do share them on notes as well I guess so a piece can gather momentum - that lockdown piece was really validating too.

Yes I know what you mean; it is demanding in different ways I guess. It’s a strange time: hope your little one is settling in too. I feel like my son is getting used to it slowly! And me 😂
