Blog2026 ≫ Bad sleep

Struggled to sleep last night, mostly thinking about work. Got to a point where I thought oh well I'm awake now, not going back to sleep now. Looked at my watch and it was just gone 2am... So I did not get up and I did get back to sleep. Not super rested now thought.

T1 had a super parents evening yesterday. It's all remote, and only three subjects, and only five minutes with each teacher. So all over very quickly, but glowing praise for him.

T2 had a great guitar breakthrough this week too, the teacher has given him The Scientist by Coldplay, and he's playing the chords, and he kept playing it even after practice time was over. He picked it up again later to play it to T1. Yesterday though, no practice again. Hoping he is into it.

Another day off tomorrow, and I have told wife now that yes, sorry, I have holiday left over and I should have taken it earlier... Not sure what to do yet, hopefully a nice walk in the the sunshine. Weather has perked up so much today that my solar powered security camera sent me an alert to say hey, 100% charge! It has just been telling me the battery is running down fast up to now, which made me think the solar panel wasn't working. But no, it's just that it's generally a bit dark and murky where it is. All good.

Sunny and a gentle breeze, 6 - 12℃.
