So the mystery, the tension and the excitement are all ramping up nicely!? 🤩

Fantastic. 😍 (They always move so gracefully and hypnotically)
And such a useful size too.

Wow. 🤩
How far through are you?

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

My dentist is lovely and a great conversationalist. Not being able to actually join in that conversation is *infuriating*!

Go on. It'll be fun.

Or even...

You have a carpet nower?
How about using the carpet nower to bring your flooring into the present? (You wouldn't want the floor to slip into the past - it might be lava.🌋😱)

Well, I'm not going to try to confiscate them. That sounds like a bad idea.

Abolish the Minimum Income Requirement

Abolish the Home Office

This all makes sense, although I sometimes modify this according to availability of enough sorts and maybe justification needs. (Yes, I still live in the days of typesetting yore. But I don't have LOTS of type.)

What? Like this?

What's that press you're using??

<nods> "twee-tree" got it.

Well, this looks like a fun job. 😁

I think Tesco and M&S are doing everything in their power to break the person in HMRC who decides which food should incur VAT.

Even in our own universe our moon looks as though it's been attacked.

(Probably by those who are jealous of our lovely moon.)

You have a lawn-nower?

(No, no, it just looks like a lawn-nower; it's actually my time-machine*.)

Cyril is missing from Newport, please share to get him home!!

I'm going to serve this with Chicken Nougat.

HI U 2 👍

Since wasps are responsible for both paper AND ink, this seems reasonable.

The BBC is great, but I no longer tolerate them for News content.
In fact, my tolerance for News media in general is pretty low.

By age 350 you should have:

- a list of enemies you've defeated or simply outlasted.
- a long-term project or masterplan for world domination (for the benefit of all)
- a stylish lair
- a few minions of varying abilities.
- (only) one continuing grudge that festers within you eternally.

This is lovely. (The prints and the description of your processes.)
I'm suddenly thinking I might do a cyanotype with feathers too.

Each Peach Pear Plum
I smell the blood of an Englishman
Be he alive or be he dead
It's time for me to go to bed.

the cool thing is, huge corporations have invested billions into AI, hoping it will pay off. so, if we manage to bully AI out of most spaces, those corporations will also lose billions of dollars. it's the best two-for-one special i can think of.

I'm all about the adverbs.
<shouts at Yorkshire Tea advert on TV> "PROPERLY!!"

Dinojiaozi!

I hope the UK doesn't make the same mistakes in rolling out a 20mph... If they announce it loudly as a big policy - there will be backlash. If they quietly roll out a gradual road-by-road change of 30 limits down to 20, it won't raise the accusations of 'anti-motorist' but simply common-sense.

Air friction rises with the square of the speed.
But yes. Slower is better.

I remember once astonishing a colleague’s husband when he naively asked why we (historians) couldn’t just look something up on the internet and we had to explain that WE are the ones who find the stuff and add it to the internet
