Looks like Del Boy and Rodney were up to their tricks earlier than we thought. This from 1798…’Trotter’s Oriental Dentifrice’!

My wife and son went out about an hour ago, so I thought I would get some work done. But young master Barney spotted his chance, and this could take a while. And to add a little bit of extra excitement, he has just done a fart of contentment on my leg!

‘Winter’s Tale’ just came on the radio, & I was thinking that David Essex must have had a really cold house. It’s snowing hard enough to cover someone’s footsteps...and he’s only just thinking about closing the door. I had the heating on in September Dave.

These heavy bags are worried. They know the torrent of pent-up fury that is about to be unleashed upon them. Best stress relief there is. 🥊#SundayMorningBagSlap #Al’sHammer 😂

This was a lucky find in an antiquarian bookshop some years back, a doctor’s bill from 1733, detailing a treatments to the Musgrave family. Will be using it this morning in my teaching – lovely to be able to show the students a real piece of history

Wintry skies over campus this morning. “Gathering her brows like gathering storm”.
