@muddymuddymum Husband has just been in hospital, shared room with a farmer who is, yes, in the middle of lambing - with calves to follow. 🙏🏼

Apologies for any typos. I am sooooo tired. It put my lambing shifts to shame. Ps. No disrespect to the marvelous team in A&E who were very kind and had to put up with a lot from people. I just wish they'd listened in the first instance!

Someone mentioned that they love to watch my dogs walking particularly the fluffy floof Java. Hopefully this distracts you from all the world’s political turbulence and brings a smile to your face

A&E with farmer was not on my Easter weekend bingo card. 2 hrs in MIU followed by 11 hours so far in A&E. It feels like the never ending story.... 💤 😴 💤

A view of the Scottish Canals maintenance squad assessing damage to the Kelpies in Falkirk. Apparently one of the team had accidentally used the wrong dilution of cleaning solution on Baron’s teeth, resulting in this unfortunate ‘just back from a holiday in Turkey’ look.

Last night I made an egg and bacon pie completely from scratch. Then got caught up in emails and forgot my pie. So it's a little bit tough. 1

@LBFlyawayhome When I worked with secondhand/antiquarian books I had several customers who collected Ladybirds, I had to check date/edition etc. No ISBNs back then!

I’m sorry I don’t know anything about this. It’s stained glass but when I tried to research it I had a red message saying the site would lead to spam. I could make some Monty Python puns but I’m not going to. Sorry. It’s too lovely to leave behind

We just hosted a dinner party, and someone said, “I wonder where the word raspberry comes from?” I leapt up, shouted, “LET’S FIND OUT” and ran to my study, emerging a moment later with Skeat’s Etymological Dictionary (1883). (This is why I don’t get invited to parties.)

Last night I visited my daughter in Glasgow to chat perfume stuff (more about that soon) & we had dinner up at the bar near where she lives. High excitement for me, when ordering, cos the barman, I swear to God, *winked* at me. Now I am 51 & (as you know) a serious novelist ...

The vet tried but couldn't get the ewe to open up. We decided to go for the lambs. We now have three alive ram lambs. Which is the best outcome I could hope for. Worst case scenario we could have lost them all. It's a shame as she was only seven years old.

@bookishsylvia @SketchesbyBoze My son lives in the USA. When the family go out for a meal, everyone - mum, dad, 3 teenagers, + the visiting Grandparents, has to put their phone on a pile in the middle of the table.

@SketchesbyBoze This is disturbing, I would also say a lot of adults are like this now too. I’ve been to restaurants where entire friends/families are all on their phones, no one is talking to each other. Seriously, what the heck are we doing as a society? I weep for the future.

This is profoundly disturbing. When I was young we had the DEAR program (Drop Everything And Read) where kids would read a book of their choosing for half an hour in the middle of class. How are they ever going to acquire literacy if they don’t even read in SCHOOL?
Daniel Buck, “Youngest Old Man in Ed Reform”@MrDanielBuck

"Every kid in the class went to iPads." A dystopian image But one question: Why, during "explore time," are 1st graders given access to iPads?!

A friend of my wife has given us a 'gigot de chevreuil' (leg of venison) from a roe deer shot by her husband. Plus her favoured recipe for cooking the gigot. What you call a good Sunday in the country #lachasse #venison #chevreuil
