Tell me the plan once, clearly — then text it too.
If you ever come to my house
There is Lego. There is always Lego. Mind your feet.
What gives me energy
Kids asleep, kitchen tidy, and a film I've seen a hundred times.
What drains me
Soft play. The noise, the ball pit of doom.

A proper cast-iron pan
The kind you hand down.
Noise-cancelling headphones
