Great news! Uni’s test results are finally all within the normal range for the first time in three months. He has one more recheck in three weeks, and if that goes well, he’ll be all clear. Thank you all so much for sending Uni your love and support!

she was doing what we in the business call "supporting the common sense bare minimum". the fact that that has become extraordinary in britain is not to her credit in any way

not that there isn't some pleasure to take in farage falling out of favour and taking a kicking, but i always resent what a fix the whole mainstream UK news media is. when you're in they help you hide your scandals, when you're out they suddenly rediscover them. breaking news: some old news we hid

The baby nephew is a huuuge dino fan, so i've collected a lot of prehistoric themed knitting patterns 😆 here's some recent makes for a school fair i'm at tomorrow :) (the yellow one is a raffle prize!)
