Going to a cool cocktail party tonight (yes, actually leaving the house) and my whole look was going to be starting the evening with that cool “end of the evening” undone bow tie around my neck. Getting stuff ready for later and just realised my bow tie is a pre-tied one.

Poor Ted 🐶 💔 🎣

Forgive my late response, I just have a little bit of mowing to do and will be back soon 🌱

If you put a first class stamp on a letter it takes one day to get a letter to its destination. Will your letter vanish from your hands and get there instantly if you put 1000+ stamps on the envelope?

I made a living willow hut. It’s starting to grow new shoots. 🌱 Give it a few months and it’ll be a place to sit and work, read (or hide).
