#FMSPAD 21/11 Rainbow colours: You'd think that a church would observe Advent properly, but the Christmas tree festival at St Martin & Meriadoc's Christmas started yesterday #FMS_Rainbow25

A Christmas tree decorated with rainbow coloured wide paper chains

#FMSPAD 20/11 Neon and bright: Cosmic Cornish Cow! #FMS_Neon25

More Camborne street art; a telephone street cabinet decorated with an all over graffito depicting a cow and a crow in a field. The image is very brightly coloured with zooming white blobs shooting out of the vanishing point

#FMSPAD 19/11 A colourful pattern: New Geep socks #FMS_Pattern25

#FMSPAD 18/11 Something black with texture: Not as much as when I bought it though #FMS_Black25

My hand in finger-less gloves. The back is blue string and the palm is thick black leather, but nearest the camera is the thumb, which used to be quite thick Terry-like cloth, but a lot of the fluffiness has been worn away over the last few years

#FMSPAD 17/11 A colour I wear a lot: not quite as much this month, due to the horrible lurgi I've had, but it's gradually dissipating, so getting back to more usual frequency in the last week #FMS_Wear25

My arm, in the fluorescent yellow sleeve of my cycling jacket, held up in front of my bone

#FMSPAD 16/11 Calm colours: A lovely soothing shade of "NHS toilet wall." (I went for a Doppler test today to confirm that I'm still allowed to wear the compression stockings that I need to wear) #FMS_Calm25

A water pipe with a large service valve attached to a wall. The wall and all of the plumbing have been painted a very pale green off-white

#FMSPAD 15/11 Something with lots of colours: and toilets, apparently #FMS_LotsOfColours25

Cornwall's first ever Winter Wonderland, as seen from over the fence. It appears to be just a regular fun fair, with rides and stalls of various colours. The posters on the fence show multi coloured night time fireworks but there obviously weren't any going off when I took this picture in the daytime. Immediately behind the fence, the rooves of several portaloos can be seen

#FMSPAD 14/11 Cool colours: Received a few stinging little hailstones in the face on today's ride #FMS_Cool25

Brown brick-like paving, wet with rain/sleet, and a few tiny little hailstones

#FMSPAD 13/11 Something colourful in the shops: I was just there for disinfectant spray though #FMS_Colourful25

Two bags of cat toys hanging on a display rack. Each clear bag is filled with several balls of various colours and textures

#FMSPAD 11/11 White and simple: Another good prompt which could describe Sherlock, but I've gone for some actual fluffy clouds instead #FMS_White25

Several small mostly white altocumulus floccus clouds in a blue sky

#FMSPAD 10/11 Orange in nature: Continuing an intermittent theme, here's a tree that really knows what season it's supposed to be #FMS_Orange25

Brown and bright orange leaves on a branch in the foreground in front of various more green-looking trees in there background

Leftovers in porridge today: carrot ends, orange juice, garlic, Greek yoghurt, birdseed, frozen pumpkin, frozen shortbread which I had thought was heavy cake, frozen raw ginger, used blackcurrant/black tea leaves, cucumber pickling gin, soya milk, blackcurrant jam

All of the ingredients mentioned in the tweet, plus the implied oats but minus the blackcurrant tea bag I forgot to include, laid out on the worktop

The finished porridge in the pan: very thick and mid/pale brown, with a big splodge of Greek yogurt in the middle, on which is a big spoonful of blackcurrant jam

#FMSPAD 9/11 Something metallic: a small selection from my kitchen #FMS_Metallic25

Various stainless steel kitchen implements in slight disarray overlapping each other: a slotted spoon, a small dining fork, a balloon whisk, a mesh ball tea strainer, a large one-piece chef's knife, and a potato masher

#FMSPAD 8/11 Something pink I spotted: it's #CleanOutYourRefrigeratorDay today, so here's some rhubarb which had been lurking in the freezer for a couple of years. It was #BritishPuddingDay when I made it, so the porridge also contains custard powder, as well as my usual "leftovers" #FMS_Pink25

Very thick porridge in the pan it was cooked in. Unshelled sunflower seeds and tiny chunks of carrot are visible under the surface. There's a big splodge of Greek yogurt in the middle, on which are three bright pink slices of rhubarb

Right. Here's my big pitch:

Muppet James Bond

James Bond in…A Heart-Felt Goodbye

Dominic Cooper as Bond
Kermit M Frog
Mrs Moneypiggy
Beaker & Dr Bunsen HoneyQ

The agents of G.O.N.Z.O. want to kidnap the world's chickens. MI5 has a mole (Rizzo the Rat). An agent is undercover as a chef in Sweden.

You pay fuel duty. Why don’t billionaires?

This week, we launched WeWingAnyCar.com to help you qualify for the same tax breaks that private jets get.

Because tax loopholes shouldn’t just be for billionaires.

They’re for everyone.

#FMSPAD 7/11 A bright sign: Too riddled with cold germs to stay, but well enough to go in wearing a facemask to buy lots of cheese scones near the beginning of today's perforce shorter than usual bike ride #FMS_Bright25
