Tomorrow is National Ride to School Day, or as another parent called it: “a normal day except the bike shed’ll be chockers”. 😄As a kid I was jealous of kids in books who rode their bikes around with their friends, so I’m glad now my kid now can do exactly that. #ride2schoolday

My 6yo and I both have the @MatildaMusical soundtrack stuck in our heads but she doesn’t know the word “revolting” so instead of “revolting children,” she sings: “We are multi children, living in multi times. We sing multi songs using multi rhymes.” I mean, she’s not wrong. 😄

So many feelings reading @annaspargoryan’s memoir. Also as a similarly-aged Melbournite I wanna know which high-school those hilariously harsh sentences were about. Unless identifying landmarks have been changed, I reckon it’s Wesley College. Am I right?! Nowhere else fits. 🙃😉
ALT Cover of the book “A Kind of Magic” by Anna Spargo-Ryan. It’s sky-blue with white writing, colourful strokes of paint, and golden teardrops. The book is on blue-grey fabric (my couch).

For anyone who hasn’t read the book, the “identifying landmark” was the Sanity store on Chapel St, South Yarra, which was THE place to be in the mid-‘90s to flick through CDs but mostly not buy them, because you needed cash to get KFC chips afterwards.

These groups are so good. Once I traded a second-hand toilet seat for brand new penguin pyjamas.

While de-cluttering yesterday I noticed one of my evening bags was oddly bulky. Inside I found a small wooden onion, wooden eggplant and piece of wooden sushi that went missing several years ago. That’s how often I use evening bags. #parentlife

My poem, Red Sonnet, Country song is featured in the new Digital Realism issue of @text_journal... but since it is a found poem partly generated by an algorithm, is it really mine? And if the sequence of words is arbirary, do they still have meaning? textjournal.scholasticahq.co…
