Tried making it into a peanut butter cup but it was quite unpleasant to eat. Learn from my mistakes and just get the Reese's ones. You're welcome x

Received my copy of "The Moggie Thit Meowed Too Much" authored by the wonderful @emmagraeauthor.bsky.social today!
Read the first two chapters aloud to myself and I love it 😍 Wee bit different from my own Doric dialect, so it's a great chance to learn more Scots with a fun story and fab pictures 💜

My 10-year-old laptop has lost many of its keys, so I have to use an external keyboard.
It is also a beautiful metaphor for my life.
I've lost control, it's hard to shift, and idk how to escape. 😅

Week 2 of teaching was heavy going! In my Embedded Systems class, I brought back my toaster and got some great student suggestions for its name.
Still undecided, so I welcome your additional suggestions 🍞

Although I HAVE TOLD A LIE! One of my favourite candies (I think this is probably UK-exclusive) are candy shrimps and bananas. The shrimps are strawberry and the bananas are...well...banana, and they're delicious 😍
