You jet-setter ;-)

Also slightly annoyed not to get the purple group first as I rejected one word as it wasn't in the plural

Robert Elves @robertelves.bsky.social · 17d

We didn't know it was a thing but having googled we all tried doing the thing at breakfast time with mixed success

Are you sure it wasn't the previous one ;-)

Like you it took me a while to get into it but I did love it. I have The Wood in Midwinter on order on Libby since May - I am now 9th in the queue

Very good

It is a great bookshop. We stay in Wirksworth a bit which is only 10 minutes drive away

I saw one last week at work (outside I hasten to add) and likewise I hadn't heard of them before

I was hoping for black and white things and red and white things but I will take the actual answer

Robert Elves @robertelves.bsky.social · Aug 8

totally, I got none at all. Vest is not a verb and don't get me started on the purple group

We've done two more loads since and not a peep. Definitely weird

Robert Elves @robertelves.bsky.social · Aug 5

Phew. We came back from holiday and on the final spin of the first load ours made loud clunk and the drum stopped rotating freely. Cue morning and frantic calls to neighbours only to find out the fairies had visited in the night and cured it

And I got it twice, once when I first got the job and second when I went for internal promotion a few years later

Probably, what's the worst thing that has happened to you at work and how did you cope

Very smooth. All the connections across London worked so I was home half an hour early

Robert Elves @robertelves.bsky.social · Jun 27

Hope your journey home was smoother. I am currently on the Victoria Line so almost home
