Vincent told me to stop singing along to Meatloaf, so I was lip-syncing along instead. He said "I can still hear you!" I said "no you can't, I'm not making any noise!" Vincent replied "I can hear you because you are singing so loud in your brain!"14 Feb 2025 09:42 +0000at://did:plc:d2e3bhrhtigrkd6vee4d36yl/app.bsky.feed.post/3li4vyznnkc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/eleanorfield.bsky.social/post/3lgughz6te226In what must be a record, even for me, I am sat waiting for a train realising that I am wearing three items of corduroy clothing.29 Jan 2025 07:17 +0000at://did:plc:d2e3bhrhtigrkd6vee4d36yl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgughz6te226https://bsky.app/profile/eleanorfield.bsky.social/post/3lgpmkoldok2kHad to wake Vincent (my 5 year old) this morning to get ready for school.
