Government departments should be allowed to spend money on biscuits, tea, and all other things normal offices have. This is my hill.

Watched my twins doing a dance show - there was a toddler behind me who kept asking his dad “has it started yet?”
When it started he switched to “what’s this one called?” then after about 3 dances: “OK Dad, is that it?”

Taylor Swift is rerecording her albums because the first Taylor Series was only an approximation.
New favourite excuse…
Giving my daughter (17) and her friends a lift to a birthday meal - one girl was holding forth about who’d said what to whom at school earlier, one of the others said: “Can you say that last bit again? I forgot to listen!”

Ooh I got a thing through the post! Completely forgot about it till recently (I think I remember someone saying something about deadlines…) #DouglasAdams
Switched on the TV and the Hundred cricket’s on - anyone know why the team playing in green have red on-screen graphics and vice versa? Very confusing for the casual viewer!

Letchworth for the win. Great set up. Helpful staff. Other dumpers polite and respectful of waste. They let you swim in the metal bin (this last one might not be true)
Overheard at the pool this morning:
“Mum, why do we have to have swimming lessons? Why can’t we just sit down and talk about water?”
Looking forward to playing some polo in the pool over the summer! @hitchinsc

My wife’s managed to break her finger - at the minor injuries clinic she got this letter about a review from Virtual Plastics. Any ideas what’s happened to outcome 4?
Spotted the rainbow bench the other day when walking from the doctor's with my child - it brightened up our day!
