You deserve many, many high fives from my daughter, the escape artist baby! Sleep well tonight!

"Yes, ma'am, they're all in the stable, and a bunch of shepherds turned up to visit- yeah, you heard right, shepherds. It all looks sketchy to me."
I showed this story to Mr Zoe.
Me: I bet I know what half the people are using those 75 min slots for, hur hur!
Mr Zoe: Oh yeah! A lunchtime nap!
Me: ...yes. Yes, that is definitely what I meant.
Over 80% of the Christmas cards my 6yo has received from boys in her class were written by their mums. Almost none of the ones from girls were. Why are we priming them for weaponised incompetence so young (or at all, of course)? They can write their own damn cards to their classmates.

Heads-up to anyone who got a measles vaccine as a child: You can get a titer test to make sure you still have immunity! My doctor suggested this a few months ago, and I needed another shot. Vaccines are good!

For those who donβt know, Charlie Brooker creator of Black Mirror et al designed this logo for Computer Exchange when he worked for them in the 90s. I believe he was paid Β£1,000 and they havenβt updated it since
