βEating custard in the library" is an expression meaning to be a "sweet and agreeable person", or someone who is easy to get along with. β

Only used it for a couple of hours so canβt give a really informed review yet.
Iβve had it on quite a slow plod all morning so accidentally hitting running speed was a shock.

"Why don't you write your tablet and do your homework? If you don't, they will say: "Is *this* the sister of Sheru'a-eαΉirat, eldest daughter of the Succession Palace of Ashur-etel-ilani-mukinni, the great king, mighty king, king of the world, king of Assyria?"
Mystery plant that looks like a dandelion but I donβt think it is a dandelion
Is this something I should pull up or something I carefully planted last year? Looks dandelion-ish but isnβt. Phone app says Nipplewort (snigger) but I donβt think so.

As a librarian Iβm intrigued to know what organisational system was used on this list. Not alphabetical, not arranged by size of tariff. Ordered by value of imports to the USA? Names pulled out of a hat?
