Hi, Ah, Friday at last. Wow, this post is going to date in a day’s time isn’t it!😉 It’s seems is that funny period between winter and spring – wring or sprinter? 🤔Also, why have portmanteaus become a thing again? Hint: not recommending spwing, unless you want to sound like Elmer Fudd and you’re hunting wabbits 😉 [ CTRL ALT DEL…. set ADHD-service.exe to low priority 🤓] The period of time where it’s not quite warm enough to reach for your spring wardrobe and switch up to brighter colours and thinner fabrics.

Hi, Something is off in the state of Lynnmark this week. No, not a visit from the Anxiety Goblin or the Black Dog, thankfully. Instead, a growing level of incompetence and tiredness. A lovely pairing if you want to embarrass yourself and generally make a right toe* of things. (See also a pig’s ear. For non Brits reading this, getting things so very wrong. Hmm. I’m now curious what other cultures/languages have as similar phrases. 🤔) Example one Thursday, I had my outfits picked, bag packed, and I’d had a refreshing hot shower as part of getting ready. I remembered to pop to the shops, so Child 2.0 and the Ever Lovely Mrs J had something tasty for their tea. […]
