Always amazed at the success of the strategy divide and rule. Blame everyone you can on the issues so we ignore the politicians and powerful who could sort most of it.

I seem to have accidentally trained my cat, that if he wants a door opened. The best way to do this is, well to bite my foot. Doesn’t break skin. But if I am not expecting it … Any tips to stop this greatly appreciated

Why is London so great? For me it’s the fact that even after 20 years you still find new places. Today Spring Restaurant at Somerset house. Skated many times but never been here before.

My kids keep starting sentences with ‘Basically’ likes it’s the new ‘Literally’ but given what they then say I feel the starter word should be ‘Complicatedly’

Bit random. But looking for ‘dance dads’. If you are one let me know. You will know if you are if you understand PP’s.

In Poundland and a little girl saw the money in the cash register/til and said ‘is that monopoly’. Really shows how little we use money these days. Also, may mean an update for Monopoly

Wondering at what point ‘adversary weather’ is acceptable in the UK as an excuse. It was used today and I’d like to suggest it doesn’t fit the criteria.

Today’s big learning. Hair spray is an incredible remover of permanent marker. Stopped a 9 y.o. meltdown on their 11 y.o sibling. Thanks Silverkin and internet.
