In the book I'm reading a child was asked what his parents did. It reminded me of myself, at primary school, when asked the same question. My mum was a shorthand-typist. I said she was a shorthanded typewriter. 🙃

I have a recurring ear infection and had an hospital appointment this afternoon. I asked the doctor if I should have a hearing test. His response: "No point. It'd be like asking someone with a broken leg to go for a run." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And even if I did have any, no child of mine would call me 'mom'!

Nigel Farage says he owns a fishing boat and is "heavily invested" in the industry. But it's still not in the Register of Interests, 56 days after he said it.
