I’m now back up to double figures for pull ups. It does take me all day to get there, but I did 12 today, and probably could have done more.

Monday again, and I walked the girls to school and back before spending the day grappling with data, coming down once to try to sort out La Serpiente’s maths class, and taking her for a[…]
