Any kind of contract work is a pain in the butt. It's a relief when it's over. But how great you have a heat pump - will take the chill off without the labour of woodfire, though I'm sure you'll use both

Aw I know how much you loved and miss your Dad. It's nice to feel them around without the violence of those first months of grief isn't it? I'm now busy copying the spice blends haha.

when having a different point of view didn't automatically make you a fascist or a Nazi Yes, was that the same time people had critical thinking and bots didn't stir outrage?

I don't miss standing in dog shit though haha. I think there's a lot of moral police around ready to pounce. I'm one of them. I hate shit everywhere - you've reminded me of a terrible part of the past

That's the one! Cool! Let me know if you like it! It's certainly a well written book. It's taking ages for the second volume to arrive from library!

, I don't think anybody's listening anyway. same story sometimes This just transcends across culture and generation I think 😂😂😂 Absolutely tell the good stories 💕💕💕

I certainly didn't have it my way when I was living it You, my dear, have earned the right to remember it how you like. I just am cautious about going on about how good we had it, because that's unfair

Let me know what you think!!

Let me know if you find one. I did really enjoy this.

I was in the local DIY store - this company is an institution - and this guy was standing in the aisle with a meaty AF dog, some kind of staffy or bull terrier. I had to walk past and the damn thing growled

Oh yeah man imagine being the first people and a heap of English twats show up.
