Party time for Alan in Wonderland
A selfie showing me with my head turned to semi profile with my tongue out apparently accepting a piece of cake from the mad hatter. The hatter is actually a drawing on the wall behind me but the perspective kind of works.

Aah, shame 🙁
We are saddened to announce that Lionel, who was a guest favourite here at Longleat, has passed away. The eight-year-old was one of four red pandas and will be honoured when we mark International Red Panda Day on Saturday. A key part of the European-wide conservation breeding programme, Lionel fathered four cubs during his time at Longleat. A spokesman for Longleat said: “We are deeply saddened to announce Lionel’s passing, as well as playing a key part in the breeding programme, he became a popular TV celebrity and helped us to deliver amazing close-up experiences for guests. “We know he was much-loved by visitors and keepers alike; our keepers were devoted to him and all the red pandas who live with us, and they are committed to providing the best possible care for this endangered species.” Keepers will be sharing memories of Lionel as well as highlighting the key conservation work taking place to mark International Red Panda Day on Saturday.

Here’s one for @sellingamirror.bsky.social Ghostly!
A Facebook marketplace listing for a long mirror. The mirror is being held from behind by one person and the picture taken by someone who is shown reflected, but covered in a blanket or sheet like the classic comic depiction of a ghost.

Visiting the funfair today and wondering what you can actually do with these big prizes once they’re home.
A large man who is a fairground operator is sitting in a camping chair outside a rifle range fairground attraction. Around him are several large stuffed toy characters which are offered as prizes. The composition of the picture suggests that the large man who is in charge of the attraction is in fact one of the prizes.

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh
An advert from Facebook marketplace. It offers two sunloungers for £45 but the picture is of a middle aged couple standing in what looks like an Italian side street on holiday.

A Facebook marketplace advert for Mrs Tee’s wild mushrooms but the picture is of an elderly bald man looking wistfully at the camera. I surmise he must be a fun guy.

Fun guy
A Facebook marketplace advert for wild mushrooms, however the picture is a selfie of a balding man probably in his late 60s, and not the chicken in the wood mushrooms on offer.

Me referring to this as Sigue Sigue Cygnet is a cultural reference that is entirely lost to the other volunteers at Wildlife in Need.

Do you have a name for your mixer?
A screenshot of a Facebook marketplace advertisement for a Moulinex brand food mixer which is pictured on a worktop. Where the description of the item should be, the seller has inadvertently put their first name which is Maureen. It appears as though the mixer is called Maureen.

Yesterday a goose stood on my chest. It was one of the highlights of the week.
A man in a fluorescent jacket is lying on his back in a paddock. A big white Embden goose called Boris is standing proudly on the man’s chest. A Canada goose looks on from the left with a quizzical tilt of the head.
