Love being home and running into school friends & their parents.
Me: ‘Erm, no, I don’t have a house, car, boyfriend/husband, or children. Not even a dog, actually. But congrats on your mortgage/engagement/baby.’
Mum: ‘but she’s a *diplomat*, you know…’

Greatest respect for the guy trying out yoga for the first time tonight, who listened meekly to the instructions, watched others get into the pose, whispered 'what in god's name', and proceeded to slowly slump to his mat in defeat.
