About
My family and I recently moved back from Aotearoa to the UK and are now living in Cambridge. I’ve been full-time parenting my 2-year-old son for the past year (with some part-time work).
I’m dabbling in some woodwork at the moment. So far I’ve made some shelves and am following Paul Sellers guidance on restoring some old bench planes I found up on Gumtree.
Listening #
I maintain a little auditory todo list of albums I’d like to spend some time with. As much as possible, I try to listen to entire albums rather than let Spotify’s tastemakers advertising department decide too much for me.
