If they start taking more naps you can either use them as a cushion or wake them up for fun.

I think a bit of rock breaking or unpicking rope would do the trick. #TheArchers

I was woken up from a lovely sleep Saturday morning by a man who sounded like he was coughing up a furball outside the house.

QUote of the day is from someone out with their young children. In response to a man who was shouting and swearing very loudly by the Forum they said 'There's a time & a place for that sort of thing.'

Yes, this is me venting.

Yes, this is me hoping a few Bluesky users will subscribe to my newsletter.

But, yes, it's also posted so people are more informed about Substack.

I'd like to see more people - writer & readers - get away from it.

Substack is a capitalist machine. It's not your friend.

I witnessed a crime against food earlier, my Mum's friend had a cheese scone with blackcurrant jam and clotted cream.

I found out this morning they were found by the children of the then vicar in the late 1970s. What makes this feel so odd and makes my skin prickle is that I know one of them. And it’s Jess Streeting who wrote Sea Change, which is an amazing prose poem about the loss of her father.

Just feel its power

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

When I had my graduation at Norwich Cathedral as a mature student in October 2000 I was really proud. I did not do well at school and was made to think that I would never achieve anything by my teachers.
