Standing in an online queue to register my kid for a 20k race and this is too stressful.

I’m halfway through Raye’s new album This Music May Contain Hope and girly you already have me bawling. In a good way. Thank you.

Nikkileah 🎮🚄🏳️⚧️🇬🇧We have a sad tale today from Manchester Piccadilly station.
This is Chocolat. Or at least that's the name printed on their foot.
They're a lovely, cuddly black kitty who was sadly separated from their owner on Platforms 3 & 4 about 19.14.
We heard a tinkle of broken glass and helped their owner tidy up however she had left before I could pass this lovely kitty back to her owner.
Unable to find her on the nearby train we are a bit lost.
Please share this far and wide, across any social media and maybe we can help reunite this poor kitty with their rightful owner.
We will ensure Lost Property here look after her in the meantime.
I only discovered fantasy novels as a grown-up. As an early teen I loved reading historical novels. The one that lured me over into reading more difficult and bigger books was Aidan Chambers’ Dance On My Grave. A YA novel before that was a thing.

(Anna Woltz’ books remind me a bit of Hadley Irwin. Maybe that’s why I keep recommending them.)
With the yellow card I could browse the adult section and take out the books labeled AD (for adolescent). That’s how I found Aidan Chambers and also Hadley Irwin.
But YA actually was a thing in my library, though they didn’t call it that. There was a rather strict age division in our local library. So on a blue card for the children’s library I could not take out adult books. But once you turned 13 you got a yellow card.
