A pin badge which reads Stand by your trans, in pink, white and blue, pinned to my pale blue jumper.
A black and white photo of a steam engine, above that some black text saying steam engines, on a green background.
Some nice conversations after church prompted by the new badge (left). Things got a little confusing when chatting to a woman whose husband was lending me his newly written book (pt of front cover right). "Oh I thought it said stand by your trains".
"Let's do both! Trans rights and steam trains!"
Oh, but this is beautiful.
Happy Sunday.
Buy the giant post-its!
They're reduced and everything!

A friend told me of her visit with mates to see Fifty Shades. Screening full of middle aged Essex women, empty prosecco bottles rolling down the aisles etc.
Apparently there's a warning at the beginning of "strong sex scenes".
Essex woman: We'll be the judge of that, love.
Kid C has been away sailing all week with his Dad. 2 texts out of the blue Thursday night.
Can I have Β£16 please?
It's for something very important.

Better yet, 48 about to to out of date Creme Eggs.
Goes beautifully with "responsibly sourced" underneath.

They're so lovely.
"We're just having a robbery, dear." is genius.
I used to think the Met Office and the met police were the same organisation. It wasn't until I joined the Met Police that I realised we didn't have a department that does the weather.

There is nothing like supporting the young adult offspring who is simultaneously looking for a flat, and a job, and finishing a dissertation, to make one want to (metaphorically) burn several systems to the ground.
