My favourite thing to do with a new class is to sit with them at lunch and normalise eating ethnic pack lunches. This week I've seen jollof, keema, roti and hardo bread. Kids then aren't worried about whipping them out. Plus I find out whose family cooks the best food.

Baby update. One kidney is perfectly fine but the other is pretty swollen. Doctors seem to think it will clear up with antibiotics so it's non-urgent. They'll have a few scans in week one and six of their little life. Tiny celebration.
