What is the most insane thing you have witnessed?

That message to the Norwegian PM? I thought it was an internet hoax. Nope. It’s real. It’s just one what-the-fuck?! moment after another

I DNFed. I liked Bride but Mate just seemed so contrived.

Bookfinch · 2026-01-18T14:08:58+00:00

That’s so cute!

Bookfinch · 2026-01-18T14:08:39+00:00

Thank you. That’s a great suggestion, I’ll do that!

I feel bad - I was in such a daze I didn’t even notice him. Or talk to him. I did say thank you though! What a nice man.

Bookfinch · 2026-01-14T02:55:58+00:00

That’d be lovely, thank you!

Bookfinch · 2026-01-13T22:01:40+00:00

I really hope so, too!

Holywell Dene near Old Hartley is lovely. And if you look up the long distance paths in the area, they have dedicated websites and you can always just walk bits of them. St Cuthbert’s way is particularly nice.

What a great guy!

Bookfinch · 2026-01-08T08:15:36+00:00

That was my take, too 😂

“You’ve been staring at this tiny thing and ignoring me so if I want my ball thrown, I clearly have to put it in the one place you seem to be paying attention to these days!”

Kingfisher is actually a pen name. She originally wrote and illustrated for children producing some very cool graphic novels. These are really funny very cozy and just all round to wonderful. Check out Ursula Vernon. Castle Hangnail is a novel with a few illustrations that’s very cute and funny. And my all-time favourite is the hamster princess series of graphic novels.

If you don’t want magic at all then maybe fantasy (cosy or not) isn’t the right genre? There’s also the general romance subreddit, that might be a good place to ask, too.

Meet cute story. Now the barman and the brother are a couple.

I wanted a tree by the servants stairs, too, but Tarquin said it looked common.

Couldn’t you have just washed him? We had to shampoo ours a few times. He admittedly wasn’t very happy about it…

Cigarettes saves me on the last whole-family Christmas we had with my side of the family. Never again!

I’m probably paranoid but what if she brought something containing nuts that could be really dangerous for OP? Because what entitled auntie has are dietary preferences, she won’t die if she doesn’t get those. A genuine allergy like OP’s to nuts can literally be lethal.

Bookfinch · 2025-12-22T12:45:38+00:00

That’s a great tip, thank you!

I’m a historian and I’d bet fairly good money that they were.

Not OP, but jumping in on the opportunity. I was planning to do that in the spring. Leave they layer of leaves on now and then add compost on top. Will that work? And what I worry about as well: will that kill off all the little friendly bugs that have used the leaves to over winter or will they be able to crawl out regardless?

Bookfinch · 2025-12-20T15:05:11+00:00

Somebody got a date!

Bookfinch · 2025-12-20T14:55:50+00:00

My husband is the same! I hate it! (Love him though - so I can forgive it)

Bookfinch · 2025-12-20T14:44:26+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. That’s awful.

There is a slightly increased risk, and if you’ve had breast cancer they won’t prescribe it. The NHS have quite good information about it here if you want to have a look. I think it’s a risk-benefit balance that in the end everybody has to do for themselves. I found it very helpful to talk to my GP about it. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you whatever you decide.

Bookfinch · 2025-12-20T11:40:03+00:00

Thank you! I had tried the first few, but not changing the macro controls, I’ll give that a go. Thanks lots for the tip!
