Is that a hole in the ceiling of the library to make room for more books? It doesn't quite look like a mirror, but I just... Don't understand what I'm seeing.

How I just assumed '23 meant 1923 and thought, "oh wow, how cool!" And then realized what year it is. I remember going to the library and checking out a book last checked out in '87--1887! (Class of 1998, not quite ancient yet)

Ah, we ringers are pretty isolated from everyone down below, but if I see him, I'll say hello from you!

I got bitter wrapping to put around our table legs. Little stinker LOVES it! Grabbed the roll and ran away to chew on it!

I'm in Arizona visiting my parents but when I go up to ring when I get back in a week I'll take a picture!

We have a cat print on a pilfered Roman bricks used to build the Norman tower at the St Albans cathedral. It's in the bell chamber (with the actual bells, above the ringing chamber). It makes the history feel so personal.

Also, thanks for triggering that commercial earworm from the 80s 🤣

I suspect that's the reason behind Coffin and Trout Fine Jewelers (in Arizona).

Did any of them follow a catawampus trajectory? Because that would delight me.

I submit for your mental well-being, a picture of Sir Lancelot du Lick from tonight. Belly up, secure and happy. We persist in other ways.

My friend from Cork introduced me to this brilliant holiday. Thanks for the reminder! I definitely need to start celebrating it again with my friends.

My mom baked gingerbread houses for every kid in my class, my brother's class, our scout troops, and dozens for friends and family. I carried on the tradition and hosted a gingerbread decorating party for about 80 people on sunday. I love spreading that gingerbread joy! Cherished memories.

I love living in the UK, and don't miss much about the USA, but I do miss having a lemon tree in the backyard!

If you need cupcakes to celebrate, I still have a lot of leftover gumpaste cheese board cupcake toppers!

Over the years, one first or another didn't like pecans, another mini marshmallows... And so now it's pretty much raspberries and whipped cream. But it's delicious.

It started off in the 50s as a cranberry "salad" with marshmallows and pecans, but my dad didn't like cranberries, and my grandparents had a prolific raspberry patch and a freezer. So raspberries were substituted.

My daughter, for the record, requested a weeping Angels party. I thought that might scare her little friends, and she agreed on the condition that I make her a costume for Halloween.

I love visible mending! In part because I love pretty, crafty things. But also because I feel virtuous wearing my mended clothes. 😂
