walkitout | Monday: a regular week of school (Reply)

We packed up A.’s new bento box, and the little seal things appear effective. It fits about the right amount of food, and the resulting packaging is much smaller in volume and weight and her backpack now functions much better as a result. Fingers crossed it is durable as well. Also, it is ludicrously cute, as it the insulating zipper thingie that I bought to go around it and hold the little ice packs. The outer pocket on the insulated part holds her phone and other odds and ends, so that also helped trim up the overall interior organization of the backpack.

I opened up google news today and learned things! David Cameron is now foreign secretary in the UK, and coverage said he “will become a life peer in the House of Lords in order to take on the government role.” Wikipedia tells me that, by convention, the cabinet in the UK is made up of people from Parliament. I guess since he isn’t on the one side then he has to be on the other. This is unlikely to be the beginning of a trend, but one never knows.

In unrelated news, Tim Scott has “suspended” his campaign, which weirdly almost makes sense after reading the piece in WaPo yesterday that indicated he was being backed by Ellison.
