"History is women following behind with the bucket."

So Morgan McSweeney has been replaced by Jill Cuthbertson and Vidhya Alakeson. Antonia Romeo is about to take over from Chris Wormald. Steph Driver may return to fill Tim Allan's vacancy.

Just pitched part of a book plot to 10yo and he very excitedly said: ‘I wanna read that!’. I’m secretly chuffed to bits.

In answer to my offer of reading for 5 mins before his bedtime, 9yo answers: ‘Great, I wanna read about nuclear reactors’.

don't hold it against the Americans on this site at all, as obviously the state of their country isn't really their fault, but god isn't it nice, when they're asleep, aren't European mornings just quiet and soothing on the computer, before They Rise
