On the other hand, these lyrics can absolutely fuck off. If you and your kin aren't involved, I don't want to know.

New doormat, who dis?
Incidentally, when we moved in, I had to throw out the one that was here because it had the word WELCOME on it. Cos while I am an atheist who doesn't believe in supernatural spirits of any kind, I'm also not stupid enough to issue an automatic invitation to vampires and fae.

We had a lovely Sankt Martinsumzug in the woods, singing songs and talking about any recent stories of kindness we'd heard.

The baby knows it's bedtime so she's hidden and we can't find her anywhere.

This kind of thing. I consider them harem pants but they're not the big poofy ones. And, well, yes, they're essentially leggings but like I said, they function as trousers, not as leggings.

If I had a pound for every time I fell in love with Nick Mohammed and then he broke my heart with an ill-advised last-minute betrayal, I'd have two pounds. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

We came across the remains of a Halloween trail today, left over from yesterday. The baby bounded up to this doll, shouted, "Babby!" at it joyfully and tried to kiss it. She has absolutely zero self-preservation instincts.

I dunno, sometimes it's helpful to have weirdly aggressive messages to remind you to write.

The baby has a doll which she refers to as *her* baby. She kisses it, feeds it etc, all very sweet. This morning, she pretended the baby was crying, signed 'loud' and then walked over and chucked it in a bin. Good to know at 3am tomorrow that this is clearly a valid option.

Fashions come and go but I don't think you ever really get past whatever was cool when you were 14. Which is why I've just got my first pair of flares in 20 years, put them on and immediately gone, "Ahhhhhh... now this, THIS is how you're supposed to dress."

Fair enough - your mileage may vary, of course! But I was taught to clear plates like this, with the debris plate on my hand and the scraped plates on my arm, and it was always annoying when I got the wobbly tower instead and had to use two hands to carry it!
