In which - just a bunch of random photos.....

 Celine - I was thinking of getting it for Gabriel. He'd wear it and have no idea....

Lily: Nice - uh, whatever.....

They look like they're about to drop a killer album....

Them: Don't come in with your attitude.

Me: *Coming in with my attitude*

Because being aware of what's in the background of the photo is for losers....

"With God as my witness, I thought Sontarans could fly..."

"You mean without the trebuchet?"

In which TikTok Challenges don't always go as planned.....

 

"Remind me again. How did I get talked into doing this?"

"Oh come on, it'll be fun, Lil, did you find the vacuum cleaner?"

"Yeah, but I can't find the other attachment. Just the floor thingy."

"No worries. That'll work just fine."

I don't think Ramona was quite into this, but if this goes viral...

"Okay, so, we put the hose in here and suck all the air out and..."

"What in the...?"

"Vacuum Seal Challenge. For TikTok."

"Ah." 

I think Maddy's decided not to ask too many questions. I also think she may be taking notes.

 "Hey ladies. What's all this?

"Oh, hey Jamie. We're just doing a little TikTok challenge thingy here," Lily said. 

"Okay, guys? Get me out. Like, now...." Ramona definitely wasn't as into this as we were."

"No problem. I got this..."

"Maddy, get away from me with those things! You have no idea what you're doing!"

"Hush, I know exactly what I'm doing. Just hold still and I;ll have you out of there in a jiffy..."

"Who says "in a jiffy" anymore? And don't cut my dress!"

"I'm not cutting your dress! I'm cutting the..."

"Crap. Sorry about that...."

"This better not be going on TikTok!"

"It's not going on Tiktok. I promise!"

Lily to Jamie: "I hope you're not rethinking staying here." 

I don't think he was expecting a Time Lady, a half-angel, half-Gallifreyian and a bunch of Hittys, but he seems cool with it. 

Jamie's an Island Doll Jonas, and he arrived Thursday. Yesterday morning was an emergency sewing session because NOTHING we'd gotten in anticipation of his arrival actually fit. Well, the shirt kind of did, but the trousers - yeah, no, that wasn't happening. He was really chill and understanding about the whole thing, though, although he's glad to have some stuff that he can actually get on now. He's just really chill and laid-back in general. And yes, he's also - big. Really big. If he's standing up, Maddy's head comes about to his knee and I think his entire foot is as long as Lily is tall. 

But yeah, maybe that whole vacuum seal thing wasn't a great idea....

Bonus pic:

Lenore: Don't look now, Miss Maddy, but isn't that Mr. Fell's awful boss?

Maddy: Who? The Archangel Freaking Gabriel? Where is he? I'll....

Lenore: I said *don't* look....
