Same as I ever was. Tea, talking. You know. Now even more easily distracted. I’ve got half-grown kids, cats and a garden I pretend is ‘wild’. Doing a bit of headteaching now.

It’s been A Day but 21yo has made a Battenberg to watch bake off with, so all is not lost.

I bought 19yo an axe for Christmas a couple of years ago and had that engraved on it! 😄

Ha!
I’d like to stand next to it and yell THIS IS NOT WHAT WE MEANT!!!
And wait to see how long it takes me to gather a menopausal mob.
None of us wearing lavender.

I like the fact that the promo colour is lavender. You know, the OLD LADY COLOUR. 🙄

Tonight I realised why people cry listening to boy sopranos.
It’s because their baby boy grew up and they’ll never hear their little voice again.

(The boychild is now a bass.)

Or follow octopus on here. They tell you when there’s an hour to go. Just enough time to faff around getting everything ready and not forget to do it!

This octopus 1hr free electricity thing is a gamification godsend for those of us with executive functioning issues.
I’m so organised! And I don’t hate it!

Do you think #strictly would hire out Vito to soothingly talk me through my tasks at the end of a long day?
“And check the windows, and close the emails…”
And then tell me I’m doing great?
Just asking.

Thinking of installing a plunge pool outside my parents’ house so we can lower our core body temperature to below critical after visiting.

Tatty Devine have got Two Reeds earrings.
The moment they make a Horned Viper pendant, I will automatically hand over my money.
Chipper little legend deserves all the merch.

That’s a total win. The longer you’ve been putting it off, the bigger the win!

So. Gross.
But I’ve given the hearth a good clean which means I get my reward of putting new autumn candles in it 🏆

I’ll be the first to admit I put off doing a lot of jobs.
However.
In the case of ‘removing two years of jackdaw nests from the chimney’ I think it’s justified.

Thank you.

I might just stare out the window and pull whatever face I like for a while.
