For those of you enjoying “face app” and morbidly looking at a rendered image of yourselves looking like a prune’s wallet, here are my two “face app” moments in the last year. I have no need for more.

One time in class with about twenty-five unruly, shouting thirteen year olds, being reduced to banging on a table and going blue in the face to try and get them to pay attention I overheard one say to another “Y este viejo cascarrabias?”

A few months ago I was in our local supermarket with my daugher and the lady at the till smiled down at Inês in her pram and asked her if she was enjoying her afternoon walk with her grandad.
