Yesterday was all about bouncing, bad backs and the trimming of teeth. I don’t really want to talk about the green goo that found its way into the Queen’s hair in the middle of the night, via the cat’s hindquarters. You will be pleased to hear that shampoo removed it effectively from hair. We haven’t yet dealt with the duvet and carpet…
The Vicar needed a new desk to counter the middle aged arrival of back issues. So we loaded the kids into the car for an Ikea breakfast (guaranteed to counter a bad back, although possibly not the middle aged spread). As we loaded the car with myriad packages, pleased to have avoided tealights for once, the kids took advantage of a free bungee bouncer outside the front of the store.
And the teeth trimming? That was a trip to the vet’s with Squeak the Rodent, whose bottom left front tooth had grown ridiculously long over the summer. So he had it it cut back to prevent it beginning to slice into the top of his jaw. A quick and fairly untraumatic procedure, both for him and for my purse.

Jumping Queen … isn’t that a song by Abba?
Oh no, of course that’s Dancing Queen!
Hahaha! Now I have an Abba earworm.
Seems only fair since it leapt into my head as I read your post!
Cheeky question but what happened to the old desk?
Ha! There has been much desk moving. The first old one went to the new church office. Then he bought a small cheap one which has now gone to the Queen’s bedroom after hers started falling apart. We have good desk circulation in the Vicarage.
