I posted a Highwomen song in the listening to thread. I don't even know why it moved me so but it was brilliant. Got the album immediately and I'm going to listen to it today.

Yeah buddy! That record is outstanding. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. Quickly climbing up my 2019 rankings.

Must have a good napper?

In Norway both parents get two weeks paid leave when a baby is born (and much more later, but mostly used one parent at a time, and the mother first). I sleep about five hours at night, when my girlfriend watches the baby, then I have full responsibility the next seven to nine hours as she sleeps (including feeding with bottle). In the evening we share, but she probably does a few more than me, certainly with the breast feeding. Can’t leave the house much either. So in the past week, I’ve watched a bunch of movies (not played a second). Sometimes pausing to change diapers or feed the baby, or keep watching with the baby sleeping on my chest. But yes, she sleeps a lot. She’s been a very nice baby.
