My 56-year-old mother fell asleep at the end of an online course she was listening to (muted and camera off obviously) and was worried that the presenters would wonder who on earth the last person hanging around was. Getting to use this with such accuracy was nothing short of transcendental.

There is a mutual roasting relationship you can develop with a class that you would never imagine if you didn't experience it, but is actually lovely.

It's one of the rare moments I felt Old at work, and I don't like it (bearing in mind my online fluency is like, being able to tell a boy during a discussion of Victorian children's work life that I was well aware 'the children yearn for the mines' was a meme and not a genuine opinion)

I was the last person in the world yesterday to see Skyfall for the first time. (~What makes you think it's my first time). I liked it.

in classic O. Henry style I'm selling the quirky unique dresses I feel too ugly to wear to pay for the glasses, hairdressers, orthodontist and dermatologist, to feel pretty enough to wear the dresses I'm selling.

still thinking about when all the children were debriefing us on their Halloweens the first day back, and one child said 'my sister dropped her sweets when we were crossing the road, and my dad had to run into the middle of the road dressed as skibidi toilet to pick them up'

I need to know how many women still waving the 'it has POCKETS!' flag are actually using their pockets, and what is going in them. because tbh I don't think it's been a systemic issue for quite some time now, and I certainly have never seen a dress visibly weighed down with phones, keys etc.

my initial top choice was escalator cleaner or woman watching her kids on a merry-go-round, but this one tipped it for me when someone pointed out the two umbrellas

The concept of allowing your mother to zoom in and out on an instagram photo of someone she tangentially knows, whom you don't follow and have never met

Someone last week on vinted called a 26" waist skirt 'a large 8 or a small 10' and I can only hope that something terrible befalls them, unfortunately.

Finished Godfather Coda: The Death Of Michael Corleone on the tram. Have only seen Part 3 once so wasn't entirely sure they weren't the same the whole way through right up until it finished and Michael...didn't die. First time I felt let down by the title of a film I have essentially already seen.

A child gave me two stickers about 30 seconds before stickers got banned from the classroom, so I'm hoping no one notices.

one of the children told the class teacher 'last year Miss did a full backbend crab in class!' which is true but I'm sure there was a valid reason, and then reinforced it with 'Yeah, she threw it back!' which is not remotely indicative of my finesse but I'm Mementoing it to be true from now on.

I've done too many coffee-fuelled rants on IG already this morning, so I've brought myself here to say that I don't understand why we all agreed to make Stanley Tucci the next Cary Grant. He Gets On My Nerves.
