Perfect reading as always but especially for morning of '11.2 feels like 10' and pouring - we are definitely still in the lion stage of the turn.

Years ago Boris, made famous by that song by the Kunts, said the jab had 'no effect on him' - even on 'the drug' he was still indulging in midnight feasts of "cheddar and chorizo washed down with half a bottle of wine' and (frighteningly) that If a healthy middle age man displays sudden weight loss 'either he has fallen hopelessly in love, or is about to mount a Tory leadership bid'.

I love your pieces every week! They make me laugh out loud ( sorely needed by this UK reader). What a very talented writer you are. ♥️

I love shaving my woolies as well! I went and got them out of storage today as we're moving into Autumn here!

Is it too early for hot puddings? (What a ridiculous question. It's never too early)

Did you know you can get electric de-pilling gadgets on Temu? Then you won't cut holes in your jumpers.

Lovely writing as ever.

I definitely need something higher-powered than mine, which runs on two AA batteries and doesn't really get into the seams
