    Morning. I'm not as far ahead on The Last Kingdom as you.... to be fair I'm struggling to remember why Brida was so angry with Uhtred.🤔  I also did Derry Girls fairly recently and loved it.

    We're also a household of untidy people but my kids are experts in putting something down and leaving it. MrM brings stuff home and expects me to find a home for it. However, he started to lose the plot on Friday with 12yo's bedroom so we've had a weekend of physically clearing up and getting rid of stuff. It's no way near finished but we've achieved some.

    I had to google as I forgot too. It was to do with her being captured by the Welsh and she blamed Uhtred for not killing her so she could escape to Valhalla.
    I liked the saga of the big bowl in Derry Girls…so random!

    Also suspicious of his general hanging around with Alfred and the Saxons. Don't blame her! Bunch of sanctimonious, ungrateful, nitwits.
    Mind you Uhtred is not the sharpest tool in the belt but I forgive him! 😂

    Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️📚🍫
    Well I survived Monday, that’s something 😁 No plans today apart from work and maybe a tiny bit of craft sorting if I get chance. It will be a long job! I went through one box yesterday and found it very hard to part with any of it, even though I’m not using it. It’s all so lovely!
    @nannygladys I have clothes cupboards the same…it’s like they’re breeding in there, but all a bit too snug! I’ll have to wait for them to grow up a bit, or for me to shrink 😖
    @elbree 🤣 I forgive him too, but I saw a picture of him all clean cut and ‘not Uhtred’ and I was so disappointed. He didn’t look like he’d cut down my enemies or anything 🙄
    I hope you all have a tremendous Tuesday ☕️📚🍫🧁

  • I'm afraid I had to stop browsing as all the pictures of him gave me a hot flush and not of the old woman variety ☺️
