In a few hours I'll be starting a week of solo parenting. Wonder when he'll realise he's not going to 'stralia with Mammy

Trying to add another dimension to my reading spreadsheets, primarily to remove the need to select "Comic" as a genre. Media choices of "Comic", "Prose", or "Audiobook"? Prose feels off, somehow, but it should cover fiction and non-fiction

The digital progs are really good. One major plus point is that the text scales with zooming, none of that horrible artifacting when you look closer. I would love to see a higher resolution page, though. Storage is cheap so make the files good for the next generations of displays.

Started reading that Dune book. Stupid idea, really, as it's a long book and I have things to do

"Oh, there it is, silly old universe." Ink and markers on a Post-It Note. I guess I'd say after Tom that Peter Capaldi has been my favourite as the Timelord, I mean it's impossible to pick a favourite really but as dour older Scotsman something clicked.

Offer up a 2m tall wardrobe on gumtree, making it clear the taker would need to deconstruct and transport it. "Would I need a van?". Nah, I'm sure you can carry it.

Bought some trains for the boy from Reuse Scotland last week. Turned the box over to find they're cursed. Wonder if they'll ever be "As seen on TV".

Excited to see that Viz are releasing The Climber. I'm guessing that it's double volumes since it's 400+ pages.

I have a Tintin t-shirt on this morning, so I've been fielding "What's the boy doing?" questions from the little one. I'd show him some of the cartoons, but I don't really want to explain guns just yet
