Just been to see Wicked for Good. Somehow managed too avoid any spoilers for the Musical, the books, the soundtrack or anything online for the last 22 years.
Big shoutout to Wicked fans for being so good about revealing the major plot points! #Wicked

Caught merrily marching across the Dining room floor. Biggest wood louse I have ever seen. It is even slightly curled up in the photo. Removed to a suitable bit of the garden though I feel I might be releasing Godzilla on the other critters.
