Fin decided that it was breakfast time, half an hour before my alarm went off. He expressed this decision via climbing all over me, and then slipping off my face and trying to hold on to something.

Good luck finding a non trans formal computer scientist or rust engineer, frankly.

I have a simple solution for dealing with Argentina

this is like when my sister went on an international friendship camp for girl guides and the Belgian girls bullied them, stole their chocolate, and made them sleep outside the tent

Astrid finally worked up the courage to smack Gizzy on the hind legs when he was eating. Unfortunately, his reaction was:

Nyika’s coming back tomorrow after 3 nights away for PhD stuff. Astrid has been looking mournful, bless her. Every time she hears a car she looks so excited. (The car is here).

Suggested half time debate topic. It is quite strange that Philip isn’t generally recognised as King of England 1554-1558 (including, for example, on the list on the official royal family website www.royal.uk/kings-and-qu...) when he pretty obviously was King of England.

Spectacular work here

Rayner Unwin’s referee report on The Hobbit, written when his father Stanley Unwin gave it to him and asked whether it should be published. He was paid a shilling for it. My favorite part is the way that Unwin, aged 10 at the time, makes it clear that this is a book for children younger than him.
