Partisan?
Line drawing of 4 different partisan type weapons. All have a long, pointed, central blade and 2 shorter symmetrical blades at the side. 3 have a thin central blade, and the side blades curve forward. The 4th has a wider central blade and angular side blades. All 4 are pointy goodness set in the end of a long wooden stave but the picture only shows the very top of the staves.

Wait...isn't that just the negative for this??
That white cat sat at a table with a salad picture that usually has a woman shouting at it...

These were mine (double sided for efficiency)
Two cardboard protest signs, somewhat hastily made from a cardboard box, held together with paling tape and written oni black sharpie. One sign says 'Trans rights are human rights' and the other says 'define 'biological' I dare you' (with a small foot note advising 'caution Science may disagree') The reverse side of the 2 cardboard signs. One says 'Trans women are women (with small text to add trans men are men intersex and nb people are valid) Get over it!'. The other says 'F*** Biological essentialism (it's scientifically wrong)'

For the Sheffield folks:
Er nerr, snerr!!

(even down at the bottom of the hill in Hillsboro)
Somewhat fuzzy picture of a small back garden with terraced houses behind, taken at night, with the outside light on. There is grass and a path of paving stones leading to a raised patio with a small wooden shed and garden benches on it. A washing line crosses the garden. The washing line, grass, shed roof and benches have a light covering of snow. Snow is falling, lit up by the light to show as vertical trails of white dots against the grey sky and dark houses.

And then someone did this 🤣🤣🤣
An edited picture of the top banner from the Telegraph front page in my previous post, offering 'the best comment and analysis' from the 5 writers, Allister Heath, Isabel Oakeshott, David Frost, Madelune Grant and Ben Wilkinson. The head shots are now all pictures of crying babies. Childish? Yes. Funny? Also yes.

The Torygraph on top form today, I am genuinely impressed.
Front page of the Daily Telegraph newspaper for today, Thursday 31st October. The headline reads 'Nightmare on Downing Street' and below it is a large cartoon depiction of Rachel Reeves holding up a briefcase with a grinning orange pumpkin style face on it. Honestly it is quite good. Various other headlines and graphics offer thoroughly doom laden analysis of the budget and above the headline we are offered 'the best comment and analysis' with headshots of 5 predictable opinion writers known for their calm and reasoned polemic. Sorry, that last sentence was a complete lie - 3 of the writers are Alistair Heath, Isabelle Oakeshott and David Frost so you know their columns will be a hysterical shit show (I am not familiar enough with the other 2, Madelaine Grant and Ben Wilkinson, but assuming they will be similar).

I can help, here's a 'pocket sized' bottle
Female hand holding a 30ml bottle of Sheffield condiment 'Henderson's Relish' which is a near black liquid. The bottle fits easily into my hand and has an orange label

Wishing everyone out there a merry Christmas, or Turn of the Year, or Return of the Light, best wishes and hope for 2024.
I am hoping for more kindness and less violence, on so many levels 💜
Here is my festive table, the bottles will continue to multiply as we go on..... 😁
A black table top with a teal coloured wall behind. The table is decorated with a green garland, a small Christmas tree with silver baubles and purple lights, and a silver lantern. Alongside the decorations are various wine bottles and glasses, in front of these is a bottle of Shining Cliff gin and a black cut glass tumbler (contain said gin)

Not quite parasols and puffball skirts... But I think we make very fine mushrooms
A group of dancing mushrooms - 5 women wearing long, fitted, sparkly, dark silver dresses with white frills around the hips and wide hats which are white with different coloured spots on. They are standing in a rough circle on a dance floor, some of the mushrooms stand straight and some have their hats at different angles.

Not crimpy, but with hat (a bit difficult to see) and best mate. And I believe that the black panther poster was an obligatory bit of 80s kit...
2 teenage girls sitting on a bed. On the right, 1 girl wears a purple sleeveless top and black skirt. She has long brown hair and looks a bit sultry. The girl on the left wears a black top and skirt. She is smiling and has curly red-brown hair. Both girls wear lots of silver bangles and large silver earrings. Behind them are green walls and a poster of a black panther on a dark background.

So I'm on here and kind of lurking while I suss it out but figured perhaps I should do #proofOfCat

Its an old photo as this one was a tough act to follow and we haven't quite got around to finding a replacement: Charlie, a Damn Fine Cat
A black cat with just a little white patch under his chin, sitting on the arm of a burgundy colored sofa, with a look that suggests he owns the place. Which he did, really, he was there before us.
