Haha! An age remark if ever there was one
I am getting old-
My first thought was how much would it cost to heat all that empty space
My second thought. Ugh, you'd have to pay ppl to help you look after it, and that would be horrid

I'll have the pool room.
The rest of the building is haunted by the most tedious corporate away-day
And, imagine being the poor sod sent out to put lines on the lawn...
'Keep going'
'No, further'

Have already had to replace an egg I bought early for the kids
And will do it again
And possibly again, again

Gritty, brown dust brought in as mud by the dogs and kids

My octogenarian mum needed clothes for a thing.
Me: how'd you get on?
Mum [tbh, wailing a bit]: I got out of the carpark, and there was the bookshop, and then it was time to go home
Rinse and repeat

I heard this on a podcast recently. Can't remember which.
A comment was made that when LOTF is taught at school, it should be countered with this true story.
ABSOLUTELY THIS. I can't bear that teenage boys are being told they're barbaric through a work of fiction, and it's just a 🤷♀️
