Someone has worked out that work Teams call are a maximal extortion opportunity. Very utility maximising is the fabulous Ms Pumpkinflower.

Aw, bless. Our lass also deploys the Rommie plant from time to time; sometimes for no more reason than preferring not to go down that path, thank you. Mind, with general state of things, I’m sometimes tempted to follow her fine example.

Through our letterbox *this very week*. Shift from ‘Cut your taxes’ to ‘Raise your taxes by 0.77% less’ than the next lowest avg (also below national avg) party. A message very much tarted up by strangely benchmarked graphs. Seems like an explaining job for @timharford.ft.com and BBC More or Less

The next panel shows woman with crying child by her side holding ‘immigrants are humans’ placard. She is wearing a shirt with an ‘End ICE’ slogan, a baseball cap and bandana over her mouth. The caption reads ‘Violent Insurrectionists’

Sebo. Hard agree for Sebo. Bagged. (Can’t be doing with the snootful of dust that comes with emptying bagless canisters). Bags last ages. HEPA filter, brush, +extender hose & stair tool. Stands up to pet hair, dust, and assorted crumb spewers. Ours at 10 yrs and going strong. Worth every pence.

There’s something irresistible about the nose❤️ What about ‘Mocha’? This is the Fabulous Ms Pumpkinflower. (Not really sure why so many of us feel the need to reply with pics of our own doggos, but apparently it’s a thing. So, there you go🤷‍♀️.)

Happy Boxing Day Team Sophie! Santa has delivered, and I have now devoured the book. Is it bad that I’ve binged through in 2 days?

This is the Fabulous Ms Pumpkinflower. She has learnt that barking during Zoom meetings is a reliable method for getting treat bribes.

No current cat pics, but the Fabulous Ms Pumpkinflower is definitely anti-Nazi.
