Today I learned that this is a cover (I only know the Hole version).

Ha!

Happy Birthday Mr Manuel! Have a lovely day! 🎉💐🎁🎂🥂

I didn’t realise cocktail sauce is different in the US, and now I want a Bloody Mary.

This is an excellent photo.

I did some yesterday and if anything it was more tedious than anticipated thus both confirming my fears and giving me a hollow feeling of being ‘right but in a bad way’. Still, it’s done.

Beautiful!

I don't know why but I never got hold of a copy if the MFT so ... I don't know how it ends. But because Mrs Baker was ... nearly forty years ago (what), I don't really recall what happened. I guess I should buy a copy.

(She also read us Charlotte's Web and we CERTAINLY got to the end of that, OMG.)

Mrs Baker read this to us in first year Infants and the summer term ended before she finished it. (Bad planning from Mrs B there.)

yum!
