  • Barbie, the allotment, and home-made baked beans

    Elizabeth and I went to see the Barbie movie today along with Daniel and a friend. The boys had planned to see Oppenheimer but I’d got the times wrong and when we arrived it was an hour an a half wait for Oppenheimer and I convinced them that 3.5 hours sitting in a chair in…
