At least they seem to be happy and are breeding successfully. You must be doing something right

So people who have retired no longer get health care? Is that what he's working towards?

He should indeed just shut the fuck up, and the media should just ignore his whinging. He has nothing helpful or relevant to contribute

I've not tried it either. I could clear out the greenhouse which I stopped using for tomatoes after the old dog learned to let himself in and picked all the low level fruit. But that's all overgrown with brambles now. It does look like being a very good year for blackberries

Usually the problem is that the majority ripen that one week in September when we go away and celebrate our wedding anniversary. This year I doubt if we'll have any

It saves having to water stuff, but goodness knows when my tomatoes are going to ripen

That used to be where we went for special shopping, or to see Father Christmas! Mind you, that was (cough) decades ago, so I imagine it's very different now

How does Molly react? Our old dog got very agitated, and Maia seems more relaxed without his example

There comes a time when how you feel becomes so much more important than what random strangers think about how you look. The sooner you reach this point the happier your life will be.

They're in power now because so many people wanted the tories out. If they want to stay in power they have to give us reasons to support them. And there are so many problems we need solutions to, it's really hard to feel good about anything until we see what they actually do

Good morning. I've got some soda bread in the oven, ready in about 5 minutes. We're supposed to leave it to cool for half an hour but the smell is already driving me mad with hunger!

I think that if anyone so much as raises one eyebrow at any of your choices, you would be exonerated by a jury of your peers whatever steps you took in response

Biological sex exists. So what? It's no basis for organising society or for telling anyone what they can or can't do.

Is this why they have remained technically a private company? So that electoral rules can be ignored with impunity?

Parties come to rely too much on loyal voters. We should always keep them on their toes and demand better from them

That's the ethos I'd like to build with the group. Constructive, respectful feedback. And yes, having fun and laughing together. I guess it doesn't suit everyone

Also, sisters, if he thinks you're too smart or too highly paid that's his problem, not ours. Never try to shrink yourself to fit those prejudices

Well, way back last century it was a social group my parents THOUGHT was respectable. There WAS one guy who was political (and not at all young) and some fun people who went to the pub together. But that's my darkest shame, so I'd be grateful if you could keep that to yourself. I vote Green now

If you take it out of the freezer now you will be eating it this afternoon, even if it is still a bit icy in the middle. Overnight is probably safer

There's lots of online options. I started to do a bit of research for you, and things could become expensive for me! If nothing else, browsing is free and can be done with a coffee at your side

I remember when my first marriage ended. Feeling the space around me, and finally feeling able to grow to fill it. Long may your life and your garden bloom.
