The Temperature
Ten statements about the room you actually live in. Answer for the last seven days, not for the man you intend to be. Nothing is sent anywhere — this is between you and the screen.
01 · Warmth

02 · Warmth

04 · Repair
I can apologise without a 'but' attached to the end of it.
05 · Attention
My phone is out of my hands for a real stretch of every evening.
06 · Attention
I know what is currently hard for her, in her own words.
07 · Presence
My children have had my undivided attention in the last two days.
08 · Presence
I would be missed in this house for who I am, not what I pay for.
09 · Ritual
There is a fixed weekly thing we do that nothing is allowed to cancel.
10 · Ritual
Our home has a rhythm — meals, bedtimes, a shared start or close to the day.
