The Mock Turtle

Phew about the school fees, olive! I remember negotiating every term for the last year or so we were there. Urgh.

Good evening. A portion of this went into my face.

I am getting an early night as I have worked my socks off this week writing about 8,000 words and I am still very hot.

Intriguing is exactly what I said! I recently got another security clearance through (six months after applying ) but she's so random it could be nothing to do with that contract and something completely different.

I quite like the idea of sitting in a cooler or crate, though it's finally turning cooler. It probably didn't help that there was cooking in the kitchen.

Cor, that looks amazing, nine!

Wendy, maybe you are going to be seconded to MI6!

Evening all.

I made pizza too, but I ended up eating it cold because the neighbours I've been hating on all lockdown stuck their heads over the fence and invited me round. They wanted to say sort of thank you for us cutting down the trees, and day the fake plant they put up today as a screen wasn’t a snub. They were really nice and now I feel a teeny bit bad, but not very because I think we’ve been hating each other irrationally.

Can you get those foam mats to go under a paddling pool, emma?

It is so tedious but at least I don’t have to have the conversation again until December now.

I love Liv’s style with creating her own paddling pool. Is it a huge cooler or is she just very tiny?

Is that your freebie dinner, Nine? It looks delicious?

That was nice of your neighbours, Pip. I wouldn’t feel too bad though as I’m sure they’ll do something annoying soon enough.

I really fancy homemade pizza now. We never have it as 50% of this household are pizza avoiders (one doesn’t like cheese, the other doesn’t like tomato sauce)

Morning. It’s a beautiful cold winter morning here. I have coffee and peace and quiet (thanks iPad/Netflix).

That looks lovely, nine.

This is the joy of homemade pizza! Everyone can have their own topping choice! We did do one no tomato (potato, rosemary, garlic and smoked mozzarella) and no cheese is what my mum always picks.

The cooler is just a metal drinks tub like this: https://www.target.com/p/12-2gal-steel- ... A-77657091

So just big enough for a diminutive and determined 5 year old
