These dickheads got their annual shots today. Vet says they're very healthy but also both what he called "a little bit curvy", which suggests he's been asked not to fat-shame the clients.

I try very hard not to bring my own tastes to bear when I'm editing fiction, but as a fat lady I WILL change any mention of a person 'waddling'. I will only allow it for a duck, or at a pinch a very fat corgi.

More than a decade of fiction editing and I've had plenty of acknowledgments, but this is my first dedication! It's true, I am marvellous, wise, careful and occasionally magical.

all these 'you fill out my census' memes had me singing 'Annie's Song' loudly in the car, and I turned around to see this look, which honestly I'm not sure if he's scared, judgemental or just confused

Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them catch their underwears
And see them picnic on their holiday.
(age 5, I drew a picture of the picnic that included the bears tossing knickers to each other)
