My least biscuity day in over a year is drawing to a close. After being a very regular part of my life for almost eighteen months my ‘biscuit’ tic suddenly seems to have stopped.

But I’ve had false alarms before about the end of the ‘biscuit’ era so it may still make a come-back. In the mean time some other old favourites have stepped in to fill the void – it’s been an especially big day for sheep-related tics.
