Congratulations to your daughter! And to you and your wife for finding a way to navigate this. It’s difficult & painful. My daughter’s a few years further down the same journey & is now packing for life in a Durham college, panicking at her lack of formal wear & laughing at this nonsense:

5 mos in a new house & I’m still surprised delighted to be able to hear Sunday morning church bells from any room I’m in. It’s the same unfathomable bit of me that also likes The Archers & some other odd Ye Olden Days Middle England stuff. Beautiful church though, no?

New house, new prints, as is the law. These brilliant creations from @stuffbymark.bsky.social. (With a nod to @harryflowers.bsky.social for the post which flagged up Mark’s work.)

I’m not sure keeping Granny in a top-range garden shed so she can get to work on time as the unpaid domestic quite qualifies as ‘embracing multi-generational living’ but then I’m not an aspirational DT reader so what do I know?

I do hope that the disrespected friend here later finds that smacking her former friend in the mouth, like really fucking hard, helps enormously with her grief.

I was a bit nervous going into this one because I love David Peace’s writing but hated Red or Dead. This is an extraordinary read though - it’s so carefully crafted and it’s intimate, it’s heartbreaking & it’s haunting. Deserving of all the critical acclaim.

Well, we can all say this about at least one of our first dates. Though granted, this one doesn’t involve a furtive, hasty sexual encounter in an ill lit railway arch or city park.
