Watching tv with a 7 year old who has learnt that in the programme The Traitors, people wear hoods and capes. So, watching tv together…. Him: “Look! It’s The Traitors!” Me: “Ah. No. That’s Call the Midwife and they’re called Nuns”. I giggled a lot.
The perfect day for parents: how to keep kids healthy and happy – without neglecting yourself
I admit that many of these go straight over my head, but some have really made me giggle! I reckon on 5 taking place in 2026.
You’re too tall to live in a hobbit hole!!
Ha. We share the same employer! We have scheduled a meeting so that I can be educated. It’s entirely possible I have missed something, but on this particular issue it’s unlikely. They did me the kindness of saying my other work had been quite correct though. Thought that was nice….
Don’t let him have the areas the sun doesn’t touch. Like Essex. And the dodgy bits of east London. Consider turfing him out temporarily if you fancy gaining a warthog and the stretched cat thing in a few months. Think it’s character building or something like that. He’ll be fine. If not, well, oops?
I saw this, thought of all the writers I know and simultaneously chuckled and winced (a ‘chunced’? a ‘winckled’? Am proving why I write like a salamander on acid I fear). Sending love and plasters to all the writers out there!
The colour(s) really make your eyes er, pop. And your hair is good but it looks like it could do with some bows. Maybe pom-poms. Plaits perhaps? Ribbons maybe. I can’t quite put my finger on it… (looks like great fun was had!!)
I just verified that I’m not a child with Bluesky. A website estimated my age. BUT DIDN’T TELL ME HOW OLD IT THOUGHT I WAS. Instead, it said it was deleting the image of my face (rude I think).
I’m not going to lie, I’m upset I passed the age test and wondering which of these wrinkles let me down…
Pop some jam on it. Helps make it more digestible. And have it with tea. Makes it less scratchy on the throat I find.
@charlierad.bsky.social Exactly like that!! I’m in my 40’s and remember the Desperate Dan comics (also harboured dreams of being Minnie the Minx or Dennis the Menace), although a friend pointed out this morning that Desperate Dan was a bit racist. Think I prefer #gettin’gold (see what I did there?!)
Well this is pretty brilliant isn’t it?!
Powerful words from Harold Koh, alumnus and Honorary Fellow of Magdalen College.
Today I tried looking for a picture, (jpeg, gif, jif, I’d have taken some Cif - anyway, you get the idea)of Desperate Dan on my iPhone. He was nowhere to be seen. There was one solitary picture of an artsy Dennis the Menace.
I think I got old.

I thought he’d only just been elected to the Vatican….
(Really do need to look at the pictures and not just read the words)
Oh Dan!! Keep away from the youf-tardis in future.
Hmm. Is it meant to make you look super scared before you go in? If you showed an ‘after’ picture do you now resemble a floppy haired toddler in a nappy?? (Starting to think I’ve confused a youth-pod with a Tardis).
What on earth is a youth-pod?! It’s looks a bit galactic.
I’m rather hoping not. I’d want a ton of chocolate, lots of gin, and next weeks lottery numbers!!
But if that changeling was an actual fairy then oh the possibilities…..
As a big fan of tea I thought this was an interesting post!
Go on…give it a go!!

Thank you for your condolences. The family are grateful. ☕️ 🫖
Is there anything sadder than this sight?? Farewell my dear tea bag. I mourn the promise of joy you would’ve brought me and will remember you as I boil the living daylights out of one of your brothers and sisters. I will also curse the fact you’re all over the bloody floor and on my naked feet 😳
Well I’ve done what the bottle said but the kitchen is still filthy.
Ha! You need the skills of either a sword swallower, a magician or a bloody good doctor. Can you imagine?! Cough, “ooops, yesterday’s socks” cough, “can you just pull the end of this handkerchief and ask the jury to keep tugging gently?”
Blimey! That’s quite a read. Very decent of the chap to offer to swallow the butter muslin and then regurgitate it whilst on the stand. That’s the kind of dedication you want in matters of evidential credibility…. Argh!!
