That’s all. It’s been FOREVER and this week was difficult and depressing. Doesn’t he know how much he cheers me up? What the hell else has he got to do except let me know if his whereabouts every day? You’d think I was asking for the moon! Somebody make something up.

I'm sorry about the Kavanaugh disaster. Just remember:

I feel the same way! I’ve always counted on him to be the little escape from the rotten stuff going on in the world - he should know that by now!
When Trump was elected president, it seemed like a big prank because it couldn’t possibly have actually happened. There were lots of protests, but then people started saying “Give him a chance to prove himself!”, and we know how that has turned out. I really believe that people know better now and won’t just sit back and give that horrible Kavanaugh a chance. I really feel that something huge is going to happen, and it’s a bit scary. And I’m not even American!
I used to have a job that had more female than male employees. Even though the men were greatly outnumbered, they still seemed to have much more influence over the decisions made. I remember all the times a group of us were working on a project, brainstorming ideas. I would watch the lone man in the group as he listened politely, and I could almost read his mind “I’m pretending to listen politely as these womenfolk yammer on and on, just like I‘m supposed to. I’m not going to interrupt them so that they feel like they’ve been heard. I don’t know or care what they’re saying because it doesn’t really matter. As soon as they’re finished talking, it’s my turn to speak and tell them how the job is going to be done.”
This isn’t an exaggeration! I experienced this over and over. If there was a man in the group, it took us forever to get anything accomplished because we had to wait for him to finally come around and agree with us. It’s like there’s a generation of political-correctedness-trained men who have learned to look like they’re listening so that they won’t be called into Human Resources for a talk.
We need you, Benedict!

The Facebook group Cumbercollective posted that Ben is renting out his “bachelor flat” in London, couple of pics. No idea if this is real.
Desperate for news! Infinity War, Patrick Melrose, Deliveroo, etc., etc. spoiled me. With what’s going on in the States (again) I need cheering up.

Holiday update: I miss Ben. Has he still got the ‘stache? How preggers is Sophie right now? Has he gotten out his little Christmas trees made from old beer cans? Are the boys running around, trying to be good for Father Christmas? What does Ben dream about at night?
The world needs to know! 😉

If he was unavailable early January because of the baby, we should be getting news pretty soon
