I wear a lot of wool. Not set fire to the kitchen for years now. Cats and hens can dispose of evidence: they are thorough but slow. Denizen of #Wulferhampton. In real world North West England. Mostly happy.
I think it encapsulates the Wülferhampton Spudmas experience.

Please, by the Holy Tater, no-one try a Wülferhampton Spudmas Experience themed event.

It'll be worse than that Willy Wonka one in Glasgow.

What about the pea-shooter?
A westernised, culturally appropriated blowpipe.
All spuds, except Anya and Pink Fir Apple have the required versatility.

I read a Bulldog Drummond book. The baddies sought to assassinate him using a pygmy with a blowpipe hiding on top of his wardrobe at the Paris Ritz.

I'm rather taken with the children of Wülferhampton getting one for Spudmas.

"Oh mother! Oh father! Please may I have a chocolate Wülfie for Spudmas!"

"No, we're lower down the pecking order than a serf's louse. Course you can't. Now, carve this dried cow turd into a spinning top for your sister."

Good afternoon.

Hope you are okay after the jab

I recorded a meeting.
I am reading the AI generated transcript.
It has transcribed the Special Advisors acronym of SpAds as "spuds".

Obviously I have infected my laptop with Spudism.

We got back last night and heard the Rotary Club Christmas float going round blaring out Christmas songs. Was worried, but escaped.

The pub we went to had it's usual middle-aged rock & pop mix on.

Meeting daughter for coffee tomorrow: coffee shop usually has a New wave/punk ish mix. I may be okay.

Good afternoon.
Back at work.
In Manchester tomorrow, which may kill mt Whamageddon hopes.

Mrs Mac put my obsession potatoes to a race memory of the famine.
Still not sure how to respond.

Thanks, Ash.

Good morning! Nothing official: they need to be agreed by Graduate School, but it does look good!
Thanks.

How do you know I haven't filled my cat with beer?

It's impressive, though. I'll give you that.

I use it as a tool. It's good for sorting info, but needs checking.

I treat it as a very helpful, but slightly drunk idiot who needs stuff explaining slowly.

It's a mirror, really.

Still a thing, but now a fringe of a fringe.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My nephew was in the pram. Elderly lady leaned over, he looked up and said, "Bugger, bugger, bugger."

I still find trains rather exciting. I travel to London every few months, I've read a LOT of Golden Age detective fiction, and i wear tweed.

I'm essentially expecting to be suddenly plunged into some adventure with Miss Marple.

Not happened... yet.

There is dispute about daughter's actual first word.
I swear it was "editrix" but everyone else rejects this.

In all honesty, if we exclude editorial, it was "Es".

The cat's name.

Australians?

No, we can do this. Chastening 2 day defeat in the 1st test, period of reflection, resolution to bat less cavalierly, bowling attack tight.

2nd test's tight, but England come through. Some twat recites Vitaï Lampada, even that doesn't spoil it.

Hard series, but England win 3-2.

I am rather hoping that yhe tied up cricketers are of the Antipodean variety, and will remain so until Monday.
I know it's a cliché, but it's the hope that kills you.
