Mummy's revenge

May 27, 2019 by Anne Atkins

Bank holiday Monday

Its being a bank holiday today, I’ve decided to give myself a day off.

Added to which, given as I spent about a hundred hours yesterday learning how to paste videos to bring my blog right up to the minute, it would be a huge waste of said new skill if I never did it again, right?

I mean, I probably never will do it again after today...

The first thing Rose said when she broke up on Saturday for Half Term was, you have to do this tic-toc thing with me so I can shove it on my soshul meejah. 

(Shaun was of course Much Too Busy being important and Preparing a Sermon, so we had to balance my telephone between a couple of rocks on the garden table, because of course Rose’s “phone is rubbish” while mine is “I can’t believe you’ve been given this iPhone six I want to cry it’s so wasted on you I really really really need an iPhone X if you get given one of them I’m going to hate you for ever.”)

Then as soon as we’d done she said the copyright was entirely hers and I wasn’t allowed to post it anywhere on my soshul meejah because that would be just too awful for words. (I have a nasty feeling I may also be in breach of copyright for not having obtained permission or paid royalties for the lyrics and music… but life is short and I expect the artiste will cope.)
