    NSD yesterday (Thursday, although I thought it was Friday all day and was really disappointed when I checked my phone last thing and realised I had another day to go before my day trip!).
    Today I bought raspberries and sanitary towels and had to stop myself giggling as I walked home imagining what the result would be if they got squashed together (not that it would happen because they're wrapped in plastic but...).
