Durham representation at Glastonbury I see.

Book recommendations please, wise ones? Am after audio books that might entertain my kids over the summer on long journeys. Eldest likes funny stuff like Tom Gates, the Loki books, Captain Underpants and also kids' adventure/mystery books like The Butterfly Club, Twitchers series.

Behold! The nicest sandwich I've ever eaten. Cheese and tomato on white bread with crisps on the side. Every bit of it made for me by my 8yo autistic lad ❤️ I'm so proud of him x

I always enjoy watching Glastonbury and never get FOMO, but this year I feel differently. Not a wish that I was there because I know I'd hate the reality, but a wish that I was the kind of person who *could* enjoy it and not be constantly freaked out by the crowds/noise/hygiene.

Not sure why a post where I said I was feeling a bit sad so went for a walk is getting retweeted, to be honest. Bluesky is odd sometimes.

Had a dream last night that I was arguing with my husband about eldest's school so it's good to know I don't even get to escape this nonsense when I'm fast asleep.

Feeling a bit low, so went out to a village in County Durham, had a walk, looked out for kingfishers (no such luck), played frisbee, ate ice cream. A gentle day.

Three weeks to go until the school summer holidays and I absolutely cannot wait. Can't come soon enough.

Rubbish day brightened up by a visit from littlest and my mam on the way home from soft play. He had a walk around, had a drink from the water dispenser, moved some chess pieces around in the coffee area, touched some balloons tied to a colleague's desk for a big birthday, and gave me a flower 🌼❤️

3yo likes to launch himself off any high surface he can find and wait for me to catch him. Then he says 'I jump into your arms!' Me: 'You have to be careful when you do that. You have to make sure Mammy is ready to catch you, ok?' 3yo: 'Mammy! I'm three year old! I fine!'

Day two of toddler sleeping through the night in his own bed! 🙌🏼 Now if I could somehow do the same, rather than keep on waking up to check he's ok, that would be marvellous...

I'm listening to Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton and I wonder if I'm just too old to get it. So far she sounds like the girl Jarvis sings about in Common People ('we were skint when we moved into our first house and it was so exciting!') and lots of anecdotes about getting drunk.

Bought youngest a 'Hot Wheels chocolate surprise egg' (off brand Kinder egg) and foolishly thought it might have a little hot wheels car inside? Just a mini one? No? What an absolute con 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm a member of a 'parenting high potential' group and a lot of it is so useful (other parents of gifted kids who are struggling in school because of neurodiversity) and then there are days like today when people are debating how difficult the Eton entrance exam is.
