Ever have one of those days where the universe seems to send down a challenge addressed to you specifically?
I have been awake since 2am with gastro. My son woke two hours ago covered in vomit. Having finally got him back to bed, I somehow gave myself a fat lip by dropping my phone on my face?

Record of the Day: James Taylor’s Sweet Baby James.
I have been cultivating this record for many years, and thanks to the kindness of @juliadassin.bsky.social, it is finally in our rotation. Thank you very much for parting with this record, Julia. The fidelity is top notch 🙏❤️🎶

Alright Blueskees, I need you help. I bought this jumper for Father’s Day 👇 but the quality of the fabric turned out to be really poor. I have found a better quality jumper *and* a screen printer. But I need to provide a digital vector version of the design. How… do I do that?

Record of the Day: The Miseducation of Lauren Hill
Amazing album. Newly purchased. Baby is so far indifferent. Besides reaching for the speaker during track one. Very disappointing reaction.

He ran down the corridor. Not sure if excitement, indifference, or just keeping up with the tempo.

Record of the Day: Phil Collins’ Face Value. Great start to the day. Baby appreciated the beats. Swinging around, kicking his legs. I fear we might have a drummer in the family

Fairly certain we are in repeat territory now, but baby loves this record. Throws his hands up, sways back and forth, sings along. So good!

Records of the day: Phoebe Bridger’s Stranger in the Alps for breakfast and Janis Ian’s Between the Lines for lunch.
Should have been the other around, upon reflection. Love me some sad girl indie rock but it’s a bit much first thing in the morning.

Decent album. Zero reaction from baby. Which, fair. It is kind of coffee shop music for millennial hipsters

Record of the Day: Sufjan Steven’s Michigan for breakfast.
Haven’t listened to this album in a decade? More? Best not to think about it. (I am old)In any case, it’s as good as I remember it. Elicited claps and a twisting dance in baby. Four stars
