I've just eaten a massive portion of various pasta salads and I have a bottle of strawberry milk.
Today is ten years since I started seeing my wife. I have made her a card with pipecleaners and glitter glue. It's very cool.

What were you doing ten years ago? No, you weren't doing my wife, I was the only one in the room, you may have been doing my mum though, she was on the other side of the world so I would have no idea.
