It's definitely the right email, not sure what happened there. Thanks @girlinthe.bsky.social for forwarding it - I'll assume you two are sorted unless I hear otherwise!

D has never heard of "I Don't Like Mondays" and I don't know how to process that. Like, it's not a cultural difference, I hear it here, he just has never registered the song.

Watched Macbeth for Burns Night, and translated it for D who hates Shakespeare.

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow..."
"Err, YOLO?"

No, you're right there. I'd be centuries off but I'd be beyond 'when my grandparents were alive'.

It's Victorian or bust for me tbh, unless it relates to the textile industry (which was 85% of my history GCSE due to being Lancastrian)

Yeah we never get that low, it's just usually wet. The weather is pretty similar to the UK.

It's beautiful! I actually went in for a duck candle holder, but they'd sold out so I got the plug in instead.

Yesterday I bought a plugin air freshener that looks like a duck in a raincoat with wellies.

Today D was musing the smart plugs, and asked me "what was your plan for this?"

My plan was to buy the cute duck, David. I didn't think beyond that.

Right?! My flabber was utterly ghasted. I was walking out of the theatre just muttering over and over "how rude can you be? It's so rude."

I'd get it more if she'd been completely detached, but she clearly enjoyed it! And she was just looking up directions, not checking messages or anything urgent!
