Hanging out with some ducks on the Norfolk broads once, having a boarder duck conversation, and couldn’t recall the word ‘Mandarin’ so googled ‘fancy mallard’ and it worked. I now almost exclusively use the time Fancy Mallard. Don’t @ me.

The kid has settled into her new school and is happy again, and she CANNOT STOP READING.

I brought the Christmas tree in from the garden, to let the branches settle before decorating it tomorrow

And… the fire is lit

I don’t think he knows much about schools based on this. I imagine he’d be livid if realised the definition of British values being taught in schools.

Yay for that! I’m doing well enough, and hope you will be too, before too long.

Oh no. Solidarity! I was so close to the same and felt like it would never end. Sending get well wishes and hoping you’re home soon.

3’ pipe? 🤣 I used to get a week’s shop and the baby in a Fiat 500, and we’d get guitars and a PA in a Mito.

I’ve got a big old SUV now as we’re delivering a ton at a time, and we’re looking for an alternative as it’s so much money to run, but replacements are insane money too 🤦‍♀️

That’s an extraordinary letter. I’ve got goosebumps and tears pricking from reading that.

We’re excited for the printing workshop! And I’m still on a high having got my grubby little mitts on those splendid tea towels. And MIL was thrilled with hers.

I came here to say this. It’s just extraordinary.

Oh for sure - couple of days and I’ll be this happy-looking goosey fella hitching a lift on this other fella

Had a small procedure on Saturday, and I’m thrilled that it’s done and dusted, but also I do feel like this snake that has been trampled by a deer.

Genuinely saved me, I was having a rough time generally and he made me feel less terrible. I’d never have seen as much Shakespeare as I have if it wasn’t for him. I mean, a fair bit for a normal person, you know? Kiddo is getting 3 Shakespeare graphic novels for Christmas so the legacy continues.
