I have just discovered I have carefully overwintered a load of ‘weeds’ ready for the spring (well done me) - after all that effort, torn about whether to chuck them on the compost!

Evening, so we have stumbled across this strange flint stone on our dog walk recently - what is it? Internet says Neolithic tool but surely not?
If it is indeed V V old, what do I do with it?!? Currently a paperweight on my desk 😬

I don’t know why every year I am surprised by my Spotify Unwrapped?
in my head, I think I had a cooler and more edgy music year than I clearly did!

Advent calendars - I like to have an old fashioned card one with little doors with pictures of robins and bells and tiny angels. After a long day at work, is it odd to say I look forward to opening a little door to see a tiny robin peeping out

‘To be credible, the standard bearer must first bear the standard. In other words, if you want to reach a higher high for your organisation, you must have reached it yourself, and be seen by others to have done’

Have you watched Girls State? (Apple TV)
1. US politics has a healthier future in the hands of Gen Z girls
2. I would have loved this opportunity as a 17/18 at a comp.
3. We need a Girls State here - regional opportunity to learn about and develop skills in public office and policies

I would love to go but the cost (I have 3 kids) puts me off. Is it most expensive than Switzerland? have just spent a couple of weeks road tripping in Alps including Switzerland and everything cost £500.
