She really is. I’m just not comfortable putting pics of her up on socials other than Facebook where I’m locked down. She was 9 months recently!

It really is. And if I could DM here I’d show you why! (I AM NOT SAYING I’D SEND A DICK PIC BTW)

And I may not be on the socials as much as used to be because my life suddenly got a lot busier, but when I am on there are a handful of people who I check up on to see how they are doing, and you’re one of them.

I hadn’t really thought about Boris Johnson for a long time before he popped up again today. It was bliss.

BBC Sounds is starting a repeat today of Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully, one of my absolute favourite radio sitcoms (written by @eddierobson.bsky.social btw) You should listen to it, it is *funny*.

Remember in the Twitter age when Pizza Express was threatened with 'folding' and 5,176 people made the joke about 'so now it's a calzone'. Let's learn from history. Just nominate one person who gets to do the gag and move on.

Look. Don't shame me like this. (I missed the Pizza Express one, honestly!)

I honestly never saw it. I did try searching for it but saw nothing in the past few months under 'calzone hut', didn't think to go back further,
