Total washout for my mum at a craft market today. Gale force winds, torrential rain and now apparently there’s thunder and lightning too
ZERO customers. I feel bad 🙈
At least she’s inside….?!?!

The street WhatsApp group can be kind of annoying (no, someone can’t come and get the spider off your bathroom ceiling) but it can also be pretty great. A rainbow, you say? Never have I put on my shoes so quickly 😂

Reading Percy Jackson is going downhill a bit.
Apparently having a ‘crippled’ husband is a good reason for having an affair. I realise it’s tongue-in-cheek but this is a huge bestselling series reinforcing disabled stereotypes.
Perhaps time to update some of its language?

My nephew was OBSESSED with the Percy Jackson books last year. (He brought his sword and slept with it when he came to stay - just in case of monster attack)
So I thought it was about time I saw what the series was all about
30% in and I can definitely see why it appeals!

It’s two weeks since I got back from Devon and I’m still recovering tbh which is always a little scary.
But I got to do this one day and I still can’t believe that was me. In the sea 😭
