God, that would have been wonderful. He would have made a brilliant, layered Arrowby

This is amazing. What an utterly adorable dog with just the kindest face. Thank you for giving him a chance.

I think they are all wonderful. Iris is one of my favourite authors and I usually re-read them all every year and find something new. A Word Child is always an enjoyable renewal. Envious of you getting to encounter them for the first time and be immersed in her world and works. Enjoy!

Thank you. I'm investigating accessible housing with the local authority but my letting agents are dragging their heels on providing all the relevant paperwork. Your well wishes are very much appreciated x

My 90yo neighbour, bless her, has just insisted on helping with my packing. I obviously wouldn't let her do that, but how heartwarmingly kind.

Private landlords allowed to dominate and own the housing stock for years have absolutely created this unholy mess where people are forced to bid beyond their means purely to get somewhere to live.

In 3 days I have packed 7 boxes. At this rate I will be ready to move by 2030 if I have found an accessible, level living place to rent by then that doesn't necessitate the selling of bodily organs.

Had to get a new one.
