this is why we sit nice and close to her on the sofa, so she cannot see what we are up to quite so clearly.
Taking my specs off to try to gauge whether these screws are the same kind of size as the arm screws makes me realise how much my close vision has changed in the past couple of years.
Thank goodness I have two pairs. Can't imagine trying to repair either without the others to see what I'm doing.

hatch is a most excellent chap. worth the admission price alone.
Have you seen our dog?
If not, you should, he's awesome!
'Hatch', a terrier/whippet cross, was found outside the carpenter's cabin, and was the ship's ratter. He was also a good boy. Yes, he was.

it is a month until sams birthday. which may explain why she came back from getting the milk with some extra strong cheddar "for the xmas cheese stars", a stollen, and two blocks of butter ("if you buy one extra each visit you never have to worry about people rush buying").

We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

when we go back to fishbourne, with tog for the twangdibulator and spare sunnies for me just in case, i would like to meet huxley and ask if he can reenact this obvious-important-archaeological-research look.
