Steve saves his pocket money all week so he can go bowling on Sunday afternoons. Steve is terrible at bowling, but nobody says anything because Steve is trying his best.

I don't think cats would talk in cutesy broken English, if they could talk they'd be pampered like posh boys, "Pappa! Pappa! I demand WET food pappa! If I have the dry again I shall perish in the night and you will weep, you will weep for not giving me the wet."

As the holidays approach, we are still here, creating art.
As the world burns, it seems only appropriate we are making raku, if only as a reminder that from fire comes new life.
I know times are tough, but hopefully my work can find a good home. You can help by sharing🙏

the highs and lows of social media encapsulated in a single post.
Was researching an old theatre (boxing venue) in Hull.
Someone on a FB heritage page, under a photo: 'Think I used to go to pantomimes there as a kid!'
A wit replies: 'Oh no you didn't!'
The original poster: 'Is it a different building then?'

When the heroes at Stats NZ are screaming at the world to take notice. A clear separation between the cost of living for the wealthy and sorted folks who are seeing a rapid easing, and the bottom-feeders who are getting properly screwed.
