So 15yo currently in midst of mock exams, which is about as much fun as you'd imagine.

About to take son no 2 to panto when he looked me up and down and asked, 'Is that what you're wearing?'
He then waited for me to get a proper jacket and finally agreed to me wearing it over a Christmas jumper, after refusing permission for me to wear a tour T-shirt.

Son no 1's Explorer Scouts session is 'apocalypse planning'.
I'm hoping it will include instruction on the correct way to put expensive but cool tour T-shirts onto a hangar.

Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.
