I am not sure if I am a hungry caterpillar or a hungry hippo today. The hungry part is a no brainer but will it be cocoon or rampage? Only time will tell.

Although I had to pose for pictures for a photography project which involved in her painting me orange, making me lying on the floor and spraying water in my eyes... So I think this is only fair. #mumlife

How about Dead Dave? I may be one of the few here other than you who remember him... Can he be redirected?

Kings who overstep their boundaries have a long history of being shot/stabbed or beheaded... You guys still have lots of legal options available to you so let's hope it doesn't come to that. 🙀

I saw on a documentary once that sloths let themselves go mouldy to deter predators. I find this approach works very well. (I should point out my mould is more metaphorical... I do wash 🤣. I think safety shorts are definitely another metaphorical mould).

That one guy isn't invited to the Christmas party any more is he?

Of course now it is TOO hot and all the windows are open and so we don't need to light the fire, which is very disappointing.

Joining teams calls from a different room than normal "because I need to listen out for the chimney sweep" feels like some kind of dreadful anachronism. #wfh #winteriscoming

Of course you won it, you are fucking pottymouthed podcasting rockstars ❤️. (I totally missed this till now so I am now belatedly excited on your behalf. )

Also never seen dirty dancing. Also back to the future and many other movies. I guess I just didn't grow up in a very movie focused household.

There’s an antiques emporium in Norwich of such unfathomable strangeness every visit produces fresh gasps of bewilderment and terror. Recent finds:

Sounds like a lovely holiday to me. I am a bit jealous.

Engage smug mode... Managed to drop my pin 15 ft from the picture. Granted it was a round about I have driven over many times, but still. I will take it. (I didn't manage to take a screenshot so you will just have to take my word for it.)
