My own worst enemy

The company has now offered 100% refund - and I don't have to return the jumper! We'll see if the refund comes through before I celebrate too much though.

Zac's now offers breakfast plus optional grammar lessons. Felt like a teacher this morning explaining semi-colons and colons, and advocating for them. As well as ranting about 'would of' and explaining that 'would've' is fine, but not attractive.

But when we got on to 'ain't' and 'innit' I drew the line. Talking to Londoners you see. It is in both Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, and even Mr Chambers has given in.

I did not know until just now that analphabet was a word, meaning, before you make up your own definitions, ignorant of the alphabet.

Busy baking this afternoon for a funeral tomorrow. Made a sponge and some brownies, and, as I had two soft bananas, a banana cake as well, but that will go in the freezer I think. In the middle of baking my Sainsburys order arrived. I began putting stuff away and then I had the brilliant idea of sorting out the pantry first. I am my own worst enemy.

And did you know that a wall is considered to be adjoining up to three metres away from your wall?

I was just thinking it must be time for the pinger to go for the brownies when it occurred to me that it had been quite a long time and had I forgotten to set the timer?

Yes, I had. I think I might just get away with it, at least the ones in the middle.
