The amount of Drs, Lords and Ladies floating about the place was quite substantial 😂

I don't think it's unreasonable to want to spend £100 on a kit for another hobby, surely...

I was a bit overwhelmed at points and reverted to smiling politely without the face lodging in my brain, but a vague memory is now stirring! Thank you for coming - I think it ended up being a fun mix of people and I'm glad you enjoyed the mingling 😁

And I'm surprised to realise I missed you! There were loads of people I didn't even get to say hi to, so I'm sorry you were one of them 😬

If you like the dress, Dolly and Dotty will sort you out:

Also: it has ENORMOUS and completely undetectable pockets. People were very surprised when I was able to haul out an entire phone from apparently nowhere

So I walked 2 miles (and spent 2.5 hours) setting up for tonight's event, and then another 2 miles (and 2.5 hours) breaking it down, and walked another mile for other stuff, and after being in work for almost 14 hours and another half hour of getting home and unloading the car...I am DONE!!!

I'm so tired I could cry. Absolute exhaustion.

The shoes...did not do so well.

The camouflage giraffes did well tonight.

I think that might be it - clear what that column is intended to indicate for either option. Thank you!

Ooooooh!

That might be it. My problem is I don't know if the evening staff will help by ticking it off for them, or if they're going to be expected to tick it off themselves, so hard to determine the audience/who I'm informing: indirect or direct

Do. Not. Confuse. The. Two. Items.

Trying to think of a word for the column that folks will tick to confirm they are the person expected on a guest list.

It's not "attended" I don't think, but something like it?

The fact that he's murdering in plain sight is utterly infuriating. Hopefully the next woman switches it up on him, and HE accidentally falls in a ravine.

He'll do it again, but this time ensure it looks like an accident i.e. a fall. Unless it's the thought of a woman slowly dying that's the lure for him.

Yup, all the reporting is 'oh, it was an accident, so sad' and...no. He took her where she'd be vulnerable, ensured she was in a position to succumb to the elements, and then left her to die without the slightest attempt at aid. It's murder. He tried it before, this time he succeeded.

Yup - tried it out, didn't work. Refined it - worked, AND he only got a slap on the wrist. Next time, she'll 'fall' in a ravine so he can claim accident. I bet he never realised the webcams watched them either, so he'll ensure there's none on the next trip.

They just made a better murderer.

Austrian climber found guilty after girlfriend froze to death on mountain The woman died of hypothermia during a climbing trip on the Grossglockner mountain in January 2025.

I had sympathy that this was a tragedy until his previous gf's testimony:

"...he had left her alone on a previous tour on the Grossglockner in 2023...She said she was crying and screaming when he suddenly disappeared, walking ahead and leaving her behind."

As I travelled I saw many well designed posters and shabby camping. Fear gripped me as I beheld these great signs and poor tents.

Don’t call me “honey” and expect it to make up for the fact that you SHRUNK THE KIDS

The Copyright Nonsense continues, with the extra excitement of them asking for something more, and linking to their public attack on my employer.

I imagine the difference between the droppings of a lactose intolerant duck and an average duck dropping is negligible enough to take the risk. FEED THE DUCK CHEESE! 😁
