I mind that; it was a terrible time for us followers, so can't imagine how bad it was for you and Philippa.

I was looking through a storage box for a couple of documents I needed, and discovered a file full of my O, A, and S level papers. Here are the maths A-level ones...I looked through them and now feel a) old and b) stupid. I passed this one in 1983.

@craftycow.bsky.social hmm, have made a rod for my own back here. Every time I sit down, Archie wants up on my lap, and if I don't have the lap mat ready he just stares at me.

I just made chocolate shortbread rounds - not gonna lie, they are scrumptious. Yes, I ate one almost straight out of the oven. I may have eaten a second one just to, y'know, check...

I just bought a Blood, Sweat & Tears CD that is so old, it has an advert for a Sony Discman inside. This was yesterday in Tower Records, Dublin - the CD, case and packaging were all in pristine condition.
