@tomgauld.bsky.social My daughter's school, rather than getting them to dress up, has asked them to dress up a potato as a book character instead. Less stressful for the parents.

I therefore present to you: Hercule Potato (or Potato Poirot, as my partner who claims she is better at puns than me would have it).

If it had been open to any vegetable, a leek would have been ideal (poireau in French, pronounced the same as Poirot)

@tomgauld.bsky.social the other one is going as Agatha Christie so we are building props.

@bencurthoys @tomgauld.bsky.social If it were me I'd dress one up as Mr Potato Head. Nah, I'm not that imaginative...

@tomgauld.bsky.social kinda funny that ‘world’ book day has varying days around the world 🤭 our school
Is putting back a day any way as they’re celebrating St Piran’s Day tomorrow
