Recently got conned into a promotion that I really didn't want and now I manage nine people against my will. I spend a chunk of the extra money they pay me visiting a Dominatrix twice a month just so someone else can be in fucking charge for a change.

Husband writes a Christmas round robin. He emails it to me to print and post. I'm going to add "(Me) is leaving me. Despite saving (her) name in my phone as Declan, she discovered the affair". Going to put it between his new car news and the "Wishing you a great Christmas"

NEW! Episode 284 - The wind of Long Mynd (32mins)
A stunning location on a beautiful day.
In August we got the train to Church Stretton in #Shropshire. The path led us up the steep valley, slowly rising to the summit. Near the top we found a single tree, the only one on the path.

🎄 Day 8 of our #Shropshire advent calendar is the village of Clunbury, seen from Clunbury Hill. The path leading up was more like an assault course - I had to get down on my hands and knees in order to crawl under snow-covered branches. Behind the village is Clunton Hill with Bury Ditches beyond. 🎅
