Baby Edgar & baby Oisín for you, in case you missed them. I fell for Edgar's ferocious glare & Oisín's "well, that's another fine mess you've gotten me into" face right away.
Got this adorable little guy too but he's *way* bigger than I expected. Not a tree ornament at all!

There's no better feeling than hearing your pets laughing and chatting to you. Every rat keeper should have a bat detector.
🐀Male and female rats like to be tickled differently - males prefer rougher play.
🤣How do we know? Rats produce ultrasonic giggles that can be monitored with a bat detector.
🧪Why is this relevant? To improve lab animal welfare.
Ah, to tickle rats for a living...♥️

Oisín was waiting on top of the gate when I got home & had a lot to say...loudly. once we got inside he marched to the crate, stuck his head in, came back out & said "ack!"
Apparently Layla's been sniffing Edgar's favourite spot at the top of the stairs at mum & dad's. Meanwhile, Edgar would still like to know why I let a dog drool on their crate blankie

Just saw a police car go the wrong way on a one way, then come back down the right way & then another car suddenly shoots up the road the wrong way & now another police car has just discovered bollards for the first time. Think the small blue car's been a naughty boy

Next step done! It was a bit tricky to cut but much easier to smooth down than expected. The lid will be harder because I'll have to pattern match

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Don't remember getting a constant flood tabloid notifications from Google about businesses going belly up under the tories. Funny that. Almost as if they weren't considered newsworthy under the tories.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?
