I admire the Dadaist approach of Royal Mail. The only day they don't deliver is the day everyone's in, they refuse to ring the bell when you are in to make sure you don't hear them, then hand write a 15 digit reference number that freely mixes the letter O with zeros.

You wanna guess how many (mainly WWII) bombs are being disarmed PER YEAR in Germany?
5500.

Baking a batch of scones where I've replaced the sugar with golden syrup. Dough was a bit sticky, but manageable, they've got as far as the oven.

Very much enjoying the grumpy genie in Diana Wynne Jones' Castle in the Air. Lovely book if you haven't read it.

You may be astonished to learn that this is an illusion, a trompe-l’oeil. The whole thing — not just the major painting (supposedly by Poussin) -- but the drawings, easel & paintbrushes have all been painted in oil by Antoine Fort-Bras on a wooden cutout (1686, Calvet Museum)
