That is very kind of you to say so. Could I be very cheeky and beg a share? Iāve deleted my account over on the Dark Side and so I need to build an author profile all over again here! Very glad you liked it, that means a lot to me.

Very glad to hear that your life of reckless hedonism is about to recommence. More importantly I want to know where you obtained an advent calendar that still has āproperā pictures behind each window.. #ifyouknowyouknow

Agreed - Iāve been checking out each follower I pick up and blocking obvious trolls - also blocking anyone whose main feed appears to be endless US politics. Curating my feed to feel like a rather chatty library with room for quirkiness and a tolerance for misfits like me. Also #glutenfree cake. š

I always think of Emile SandĆ©ās performance of Abide With Me at the 2012 Olympics. Astonishing.
