Slipped in snow, cut my eye, bruised cheek. Long-suffering husband now catching sidelong glances from people we meet. #uksnow

Music from the striplings next door, D has just pointed out, actually *is* all just shouting ...

Choosing her words with characteristic care, 7yo said supper at her friend's house today had been " [pause] More unusual than lovely ..."

Listening to 6yo sitting up in bed warbling the text of his dinosaur story. Loudly and with emotion, like a barmy Doris Lessing libretto.

RT @al3x Swans are way funnier when you pretend they're looking for their keys under the water.

Some things harder to measure than others. Prob all about framing the right questions though.

On More or Less (Radio 4), 22 May: "If you want to change something, make sure that you are measuring it."

RT @Astro_Mike Getting re-adjusted to gravity, let go of a small bag of groceries and must have expected it to float, luckily no damage
