It definitely was! As for sycophant central... I hope they are truly enjoying themselves in the echo chamber they've created.

Literally drove past Holne Chase hill fort wood today! There's also another iron age fort by Cann Wood just outside Plymouth which is prohibited to walkers to "protect it." But loads of cattle can graze on it though πŸ˜‚

Aw, I'm sad to have missed it again. I've got a score to defend πŸ˜‚! I hope you all had fun. Any good Christmas themed hats or jumpers?!

Yup. 21st December 1988. It's one of the worst ways to remember something devastating like that. I still remember watching the news &, understandably, it overshadowed the day. Of course, as an 11 year old, you don't really see it like that.

That happened on my eleventh birthday 😒

Hahahaha! I wish my optician had said that. Instead, they said I needed TWO pairs of glasses, readers AND distance. Bloody rude!

Like, I know you're right but I could do without the actual ageing but, you know? I haven't reached the stage where I groan when I get up *every time*, but I can tell it ain't far away! πŸ˜‚

Oh bless you, thanks 😁 anaphylaxis is horrible & scary, I don't recommend it as a hobby πŸ˜‚ shame though for her & everyone with severe allergies, especially if you have to give up something you love.
comment in response to post
NOT YET! but soon, very soon πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚ Yesterday I was asked if I use fillers or Botox but, even if I wanted to, I couldn't. One, because I HATE needles and two, I have a history of anaphylaxis so practitioners wouldn't touch me with a 10 foot barge pole πŸ˜‚

#OTD in 1986 I was still 8, but had a 7 day count down to my 9th birthday. I'm now on a 7 day count down to my 47th and I'm feckin furious about it πŸ˜‚

One of the best Kickstarter gifts I ever bought. Husband absolutely loves it (as do I, but I bought it for him πŸ˜‚)

Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs is an immense reference book.

Oh, she is. I wasn't mad at her, I was mad at myself for getting distracted πŸ˜‚ She's so cute 😍 and Dartmoor is beautiful. I'm thankful I get to drive across the moors everyday ☺️

I had NO idea the lock function worked with the engine off. Lesson learned. Here's the miniature beast of burden that ALMOST made me a believer of Friday 13th πŸ˜‚
comment in response to post
We tried to get Juno to step on the buttons on the dash to press the unlock. No dice. BUT she does manage to switch off the hazards, so there's that at least πŸ˜‚ 45 minutes later, Dave arrives & I can get into the car. Hurrah! Then more crap happened at work, but at least this is funny πŸ˜‚
comment in response to post
So, in the meantime, a colleague brings me a spare coat & a cuppa, Juno is looking all chill & cute in the car, I'm trying to cover over the hazards (because they're still blinking) & trying to be as nonchalant as possible when one of my team arrives!
comment in response to post
But, you see, it's a fair distance to work & all the roads to it have work going on & it's now almost 07:45 which is a SHIT time to be navigating Plymouth. Oh, & I'm on Dartmoor in December (which is fucking freezing) and my coat IS IN THE LOCKED CAR! Did I mention there was much joy in this story?
