My daughter just put the coffee in the fridge. Should she become a writer? Save a lot of schlepping round endless uni open days, and a pen is much cheaper.

The expectation versus reality. But still happy to have finally squeezed a flower out of my (coughs) 'Heavenly Blue' Ipomoea. Welcome to the world! (Shame you'll not cope with the first frost!) #flower #garden #climber

I love how reasonable you are in your reply. It's great to see curiosity and engagement as opposed to conflict.

Oh that's going to be horribly confusing!

I asked my friend what she had in her admittedly capacious bag once. On that day it included an angle grinder and six duck eggs. Unbroken!

I'm not sure I'd forgive anyone for giving my bedroom a makeover, and having to share it, even if I was glad to get out of prison! #TheArchers

I know I've asked this a few times recently but I've been very unwell for much of this year & am trying to get back on my feet again financially by teaching my workshops again alongside running my Etsy shop.
Please could you give my posts above/below about my workshop a RT if you have a moment?...🌿

True, though we have been not quoted for insurance before now for being 'too close to a water course'! I thought if we flooded you insurance offices would be in very big trouble!

I moved up a hill thinking, lll be running up this in no time. 20 years later and I never did, so we moved. Up another hill! I don't run up this one either but I'm hoping the daily slog up will help me live a bit longer, or at least it'll feel longer!

No no no no! A queen among biscuits, certainly several rungs up from the dastardly fig roll.

Don't you pretty much *have* to be middle class now to afford fish n chips?

I saw a marvellous one, gypsy petulengro, the grave says something along the lines of now he has found his perfect camping ground.

It is odd! My dahlias are looking very happy now after we finally had some rain, all summer despite supposedly loving hot climes they've been looking feeble (I did water them).

Oh! Do you get slugs and snails on you dahlias? We don't suffer here but I have noticed if I don't take them in for the winter snails and slugs proliferate on them.

In the early 1960s a senior Conservative minister, John Profumo, resigned and inflicted perhaps decisive damage to the electoral prospects of his party for a decade ….. for far less than this

I fear for the owner of bartelby when she allows him a peaceful death and Amber wants George to get his mates to retaliate for 'murdering' him...

I'd be happy with either, but know people who'd not be happy with phone. And losing phone would already be a nightmare.
