Says a lot about a country when the highest paid woman in the land has the sole job of promoting gambling. Shame the doctors, nurses and counsellors who gave to pick up the pieces of the lives shattered by this industry aren’t paid as much.

Crikey, it’s almost Friday. The weekend will soon overtake us like a curate riding a moped late for a wedding. To compensate here’s your late night Short-Eared Owl. xx

One thing about this cartoon is that it's (clearly) a male owl owlsplaining. In reality the female tawny owl twits and the male twoos.

I can think we can let that pass seeing as we’re talking about a world in which owls can discuss the finer points of grammar.
