In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

347/365 One for the Christmas card…

They don’t suit anybody, make you sweat and prickle your skin. They are a joke and the thing about jokes is you’re not supposed to take them seriously. This year festive knitwear […]
