Two days ago Sophia told us her thoughts about death. She had clearly thought about it a lot, worked through various things, and come to some interesting conclusions.

Unfortunately she told us all of this in front of Gideon, who has now spent two days bursting into tears intermittently and telling us he doesn't want to die.

I'm sure he'll also work through it, but in the meantime it's hard not to feel sorry for him. I suspect that starting school in two weeks and being away from home for a week aren't helping, as he's also intermittently telling us he wants to be back home.

I'm possibly being dim here, but I can't see what "Recognising Palestine" does for the current humanitarian apocalypse.

(I'm not against it, but the government seem to be presenting it as somehow connected and I feel like I'm missing something.)

We've gone on holiday on purpose!

(Us, my brothers, our families, my parents, and their dogs. Seven adults and five kids altogether. Staying in a rented house half an hour out of Southampton for a week.)
