I can't tell if I am stupid, and missing a level of bone dry wit and knowing irony; if I have been spoilt by the work of writers like Zadie Smith, following a tradition JA was part of instigating; if have been spoilt by recently reading George Eliot.

2 Readers, I am tearing through it, I am gripped. However I am even more appalled by the characters and the 'set up' then I was in my 20s and 30s (when I gave JA's work a whirl.) My partner, who is also currently reading Persuasion, has said he finds wit and cleverness on every page.

2/2 🧵 A troll commented that it was fine because other essential items for uniform were more affordable in supermarkets. Other commenters agreed with me blazers at £50 is a nightmare. Troll came back at us 'I won't repeat myself, you knew when you had kids they would need uniform.' She posted it X2!

Classic. Icecream tubs too I hope

That's exciting. Why were you catching it? I wondered if you were one of those pigeon rescuers?

Finally some good news

Android.... I had an iPhone work phone a few years ago when I worked in a nursery (we used it to take photos and write notes about the kids development) and I never get on with it. My daughter is begging for an iPhone right now, it's irritating.

🧵 She has always had issues, difficulty leaving the house, issues with school. But in the past she still was joyful, fun, loved doing stuff. On Easter weekend in previous years she has run around after her sister on sand dunes, we have been to BBQs, played silly games in the park, decorated eggs 💔

Sorry to hear that Davy, really looking forward to you coming and appreciate it xxx

Very nervy, exciting

Both

I am pretty confident I will love them xxx
