I believe the correct form is to respond with loud applause and marks out of ten.

Dawn is accustomed to being driven out of her way to accommodate Mr D's castle addiction. Seriously, though, nowhere in Wales is an outlandish distance.

Went into town yesterday, and as soon as I got home I remembered a Thing I should have done while I was there. Going back into town shortly, and the nature of said Thing has completely vanished from my mind. No doubt it will return as soon as I do. Remind me to write it down, whatever it is.

SOWK on EastEnders last night. The real one this time.

Find a shoe with dogshit on the sole before you do your ceremonial Farage stomp, that's my advice.

Reform leaflet finally arrived, in a batch of other election literature. I got DD to hurl it into the recycling with the litter picker, but not before I'd stamped on Farage's smirking face. Take that, Nigel.

Not if everybody goes at the same time it isn't. And at the rural extremes, it depends how many sheep or cows are on the road.

I gave them to understand that I was undecided and that it wasn't a good time to talk. Only one of those statements was true.

Mr D left the downstairs toilet window open. It's fine, I thought, I won't be a minute, the garden's sheltered & the post's not due for a couple of hours. Gate. Post box. Voice, six inches away. 'Mrs D, it's the Liberal Democrats here. Have you decided who you're voting for in the General Election?'

I saw a small trailer advertising a pirate themed escape room. I didn't stop singing 'na-nananana - Escape Pirates!' all the way home. I am a charming and delightful companion.

You will be. I said something flippant about God as the baddie and Jesus as the goodie, and they never stopped popping round after that.

Husband at 60 is a whole 11 months older than me, and gets similar questions about OAP discounts. I've taken to hiding behind him so that I can pretend to myself they only mean him, not me.

Poor wee Brian thought he was safer perching on a parsley stem than waiting on the path to be pecked up or smashed underfoot.

As I walked up from the car this afternoon, a robin stood his ground with a hard stare and refused to let me past. He knew I'd been trespassing on his territory, fiddling with the foliage and the molluscs. In the end I had to go the long way round, past the vegetable patch.

Chewed at further fistfuls of parsley whilst walking round the garden in order to render my aura less noxious this morning. On the 3rd tour/nth mouthful, I discovered a tiny snail clinging to a parsley stem. I'll have consumed several grams of snail essence and blackbird spit, won't I?

Accidentally failed to resist the limited edition garlic bread flavour crinkle cut crisps from Aldi, and now I have to go outside and chew parsley before I get ready for bed. Maybe I'll keep the bedroom window open too. Let some of the fumes out.

I'll tell you what I got when I went to the GP a few years ago. Pessaries and a telephone CBT course. (Already got a fuckton of painkillers. ) Yay. I fucking HATE talking. And admin. There's a lot of admin with CBT. I used it to fake-dial down the numbers and make it stop. Gimme the pills.

Well. But I'd have to see the GP though, and I hate that. Once you start going, you're never out of the bloody place, in my experience.

You seem very fixated on the back row. I can't think who you're planning on taking in there.

I'll never forget my toddler son's face on trying his first apricot. He screwed up his little face and handed it back to me, complaining that it was 'a dry lick'.

People are sooo full of crap about this. 'Just let them be a masculine/feminine version of themselves; don't push them down the trans route'. DD was never a feminine or masculine anything, and always followed her own path. Seriously, they need to STFU on subjects they know nothing about.

I shall withdraw from this discussion in the interest of marital harmony. It becomes unseemly when spouses take liberties with the sequence of events.

You can eat those, then. Experimentally removed both the outside and inside bits of artichoke, and they're now being experimentally cooked to see if it's possible to turn the tiny centre into food.

You obviously missed the key word in that recipe. 'Tinned'. I don't know what to do with those buggers out there.

I imagine he was thinking optional extras rather than wife disposal. I obviously haven't made it sufficiently clear that optional extras are the privilege of a wife, not the husband.

Just got off the coach home, where the shift change driver showed us pictures of floods in our nearest supermarket from today, if you want a more authentic sample of British late spring weather. It felt like returning from a distant land.

The only time I ever feel like the real thing is when interacting with people who've gone past Adult and into Properly Truly Old. Kind of simultaneously Adulty Adult, and bright, on-the-ball youngster.

We'll have to do it again some day. Same place, slightly different gang. Mackers is all growed up now, so she won't have to bring her dad with her.

You've probably discovered by now that it takes a long, long time for people to think of themselves as Actual Adults. Back then we probably pretended to ourselves that you were only a smidgeon younger than us.
