It's a challenging time if you're a parent right now, working from home while your kids still need looking after. My colleagues have been trying to make some fun from it, by referring to their children as co-workers when talking about them on Slack.

I present some of the highlights for your enjoyment. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Dear the Post Office,

I write regarding the obvious overspend and clear inefficiencies of the Special Delivery Service operating from the Pencaster Mail Centre, and the professional conduct of Postman Pat Clifton.

Or, how I automatically assume every episode of these shows is going to go.

I recently stumbled upon a cartoon I used to watch as a kid and all kinds of memories started flooding back. It was an era of colourful characters, rigid action figures and impractical but very cool vehicles.

I was left wondering if the shows I remember with misty eyed nostalgia are still as good as I once thought they were. Let's find out.

I've read a lot of children's books, some of them many, many times over. Too many times, perhaps. After a while I've started to think too much about them.

And I have questions.
