Dr. Banner, your work is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.

September.

You can always tell when I go back to school.  All these photos were taken over one weekend.  The rest of the month is a blur.

When life gives you lemons, steal your grandma’s jewelry and go clubbin'

August.

Blue here is a shell for you Inside you'll hear a sigh A foggy lullaby

A trip to Avebury.

The king's stinkin' son fired me, but thank you so much for bringing up such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it!

May.

I've been using my big camera more recently, so not many pictures. #hattie #mmm2017 #scotlandadventure #sewingrosa #hatsinyell #audreyinunst #ginstagram #springdress #fountain

I want to roll my eyes right now, but the doctor says that if I keep doing it, my ocular muscles might spasm and eject my eyeballs.

April.

Well, I tried to start a revolution, but didn't print enough pamphlets so hardly anyone turned up. Except for my mum and her boyfriend, who I hate.

March.

Time is money, money is power, power is pizza, and pizza is knowledge

February.

#halfterm Lego and Lauren Child at the South Bank; cake in South Kensington, junk modelling/inventing at the V&A; Ryde Beach; Chinese lantern festival, hit chocolate to warm us up, and Lego Batman. Can I go back to work now? I need a day off. #february #2017 #lucy #hattie #microadventure

That was half term.

And that was February generally.

Leslie, I typed your symptoms into the thing up here, and it says you could have network connectivity problems.

Happy times.  There's no point in writing up the last 7 months, so I'm doing a photo round up over the next few days.

January.

 

Meitu apps, socks, oversized shawls, pussy hats and protests, Lego birds and posh Alphabetti spaghetti.

A pledge

Me-Made May.  The name still sticks in my throat a bit.

It's a fun thing to do though, and I'm going to make it a challenge this year by:

1. Not wearing the same outfit more than once

and

2. Taking a picture of me wearing my "me-made" outfit every day.  And posting it on Instagram.  And not hating the picture.

I will.  It's decided.
