She met him at her parents’ turkey curry buffet you fucking idiot

Sunday sketch

Today I’ve ticked everything on my to do list. And I’ve done them (just for clarity). The knack is to not put many things on it. Sorted!

Today’s feel good pic is of my in laws on my MIL’s 98th birthday. They’ve been together since they were 15 and 16 and he”ll be 100 in the new year#love #endurance

Go Wes!!!

Upgrade means I have 2 baths all to myself in my hotel room - one is outside. In Liverpool! Might not be using it this trip but the view’s amazing

More on my bath situation. I’m crap at left/right clockwise etc and rely on OH for hotel taps which become ever more arcane. Travelling solo I’ve had to resort to this

Missing my husband. Without him not only can I not manage the bath taps but I’ve gone all the way to conference without my pass and had to come back for it. Maybe I’ll stop rolling my eyes when he says ‘have you got your…’

Did you know each paperback has a TWIN? They’re printed in pairs then separated at the end of the process (see photo below for mine) So the paperback you’re reading now has a twin, somewhere in the world. A connection to another reader we’ll never know. I think that’s magical!

In extremely exciting news on day 2 of my hotel stay I’ve not only worked out where the bath tap is - success!!! - but even how to turn it on. Mega achievement. Now to get my book published. Can’t be as hard as the bath tap…

This is getting silly now. Leave his kids out of it, and stop blowing things out of proportion. There is bad behaviour amongst some politicians, but this constant pearl clutching at everything undermines trust to an unjustified and dangerous extent. Try reporting some news.
