My mum has been making needle felted mice for a few years and enjoys challenging herself with new themes and ideas. She's just set up her first exhibition at the stately home she volunteers at, with a family of period mice. Incredible.

There's a singing advert for a funeral service called Simplicity Cremations.
It's like an Irish folk tune -two fiddle players singing "Simplicity Cremations where you go when you go"
It almost sounds appealing 😒 wonder if they serve Guinness & tato crisps.

"CHICKEN FINGERS is bonded with another cat, CAPTAIN STINKY PANTS. CAPTAIN STINKY PANTS is a charming 20-lb Maine Coon mix who hates children, has moderate bowel incontinence, and only eats sushi-grade tuna. CAPTAIN STINKY PANTS and CHICKEN FINGERS must be adopted together."

Have the Daily Star carved a Rachel Pumpkin to see if it beats the Liz Truss lettuce on longevity?
My current dilemma is: will Rachel Reeves still be Chancellor by the time I do my show? I’ve got at least 3 jokes about her which I’d hate to lose…

Last night I didn't dream I had gone to Manderley.
I didn't dream of San Pedro either.
I dreamt I had forgotten to put the green garden bin out for the last garden waste collection this year & now the triffids were growing in the bin.

Reading a lot recently on the intersections of gaming, violent extremism, extreme violence, and politics. Still so much we don't know about even the most elementary processes and functions. This is of the better books I've come across so far. Great starting point for anyone wanting to learn more.
