Quote of the day

"I've probably had three days apart from her (Cherry) in the last year…but we're very, very strong. I've never been happier. I've never been more comfortable. I've never been more inspired. I feel like everything's fallen into place, and it's fallen into place because I've given it the time to fall into place."

Ed Sheeran

Joke of the day:

Why couldn't Cinderella be on the field hockey team?

Because she always ran away from the ball.
