🥟 Splinter’s Stash #3 — Shhh. Sir Hugo is nearby.
*whispers* You found it. On HIS page. That is extremely brave of you. Sir Hugo doesn’t know this is here. He thinks this page is a ‘sanctuary of tidiness.’ He has written that down in at least three official documents. It is not tidy. I have been here. Last Wednesday, Sir Hugo asked: ‘Why is the Queen’s left slipper hanging from the weather vane?’ I said: ‘…The wind wanted to try it on?’ He wrote a report. Four pages. With diagrams. I thought it was a perfectly reasonable explanation. Anyway. You are VERY good at finding things. There is one more stash hidden somewhere on this site. I wonder if you can find it… Don’t tell Sir Hugo you were here. 😼
