Stacia manages to make Siofra laugh at a joke and Siofra says "interesting" a lot.
Today we are (b)ringing you a feast of folklore all about BELLS.

asked us to mock up a quick doodle. You know the one: looks like a floating bedsheet with eyes.
Round on top, wiggly on the bottom, with a couple of eyes holes – it’s the image that
