let's about talk about my favorite part of the Olympics, one of the things that that originally got me into art and graphic design as a child: pictograms. the first I can remember are from Seoul 88. you might recall these.

The PM watching this is definitely a mood. #OpeningCeremony

Is this major sleep deprivation or am I actually watching #OpeningCeremony

How did they choose who gets the shit boats? #OpeningCeremony

You don’t get sick by being out in the rain! #OpeningCeremony

Oh no I’ve gone all centrist dad at the EU pop bit #OpeningCeremony

Oh france, you are so weird.

All of us during the Olympics:

Team GB making it very difficult not to wake the baby up this morning! #OlympicGames

Me watching the BMX freestyle #OlympicGames

This is not news but just a reminder that finding childcare is still basically impossible. The two nurseries closest to us are not accepting new applications for starts before September 2025.a

Getting your preschool child to bed should be an Olympic sport. I’d be shit at it. #OlympicGames

Parenting two children on my own for a full day for the first time. It’s not yet 9.30 and I’ve played bingo, been to the dentist, been to the hairdressers, set up and finished painting, and made lunch together.. oh and approx a billion episodes of paw patrol.

Really pleased that my daughter’s first day at school has coincided with my son’s first ever cold, really doing wonders for the old sleep deprivation 🙃

Time has never passed so slowly than waiting to pick your child up from their first half day at school.

Went to the AGM of our school’s PTA today because I am those most chronic”get-involver” of all time.
