Mushroom stroganoff for dinner, anyone?!
A scattering of mushrooms growing in a green field, with houses and a forlorn tree losing its leaves in the background under a grey sky.

Using my favourite pencil in the hopes that it will bring me luck. 🙂 I'm a VERY slow solver, so 'Unch' provides excellent value for money - it'll keep me scratching my head for months! (Looks great, by the way.)
A copy of the new crossword magazine, 'Unch' together with an orange pencil with '2B OR NOT 2B' written on it.

You get out a sandwich and, as if by magic, a ravenous seagull appears. He pretended not to be interested whilst inching closer and closer, practically licking his beak in anticipation.
A half-eaten sandwich balanced on my knees, with a seagull standing in front of me with his head on one side.

Enjoying the Herne Bay Cartoon Festival 2025!
#HerneBayCartoonFestival
#BeachCreative
A collection of beach and sea themed cartoons set on wooden easels outside a red brick building. A cartoon titled 'orange failed loser' on an easel. A cartoonist at work, painting a cartoon of a seagull stealing a mobile phone from a man on the beach and using it to place an online order for two large bags of chips. The cartoonist, Marshall's work, which included him donning a cardboard head of a robot and members of the public joining in to hold up signs protesting about the use of AI.

Aaaah, it's the weekend! Now to have a nice cuppa and decide what to read, after a stressful week at work in the midst of yet another restructure...
A pile of books on the arm of a sofa with a mug of tea in the background. The book titles are: 'Led by Donkeys', 'Jude the Obscure', 'Like a Hole in the Head'. 'Frankenstein', 'Why Didn’t You Just Do What You Were Told', 'Five Rules for Rebellion', 'The Ha Ha Bonk Joke Book', 'Animal Farm' and 'The Twits'.

It's National Biscuit Day! I'm celebrating with a custard cream. What's your choice of twice-baked delight?
A mug of strong tea in a multicoloured polka dot mug, with a custard cream biscuit propped up against it.

For anyone who still partakes in the apparently quaintly old-fashioned pursuit of letter-writing or sending hand-written cards, the cost of postage stamps is (again) increasing from 7 April. Beat the price hikes now! Then how about practising your handwriting and making someone's day?!
A book of 8 first class postage stamps with a dark purple cover, and a book of 8 second class stamps with a bright green cover.

A mug of tea, standing on a coaster of a tiny splatted orange figure - as if the mug has squashed the figure. The mug shows the orange cover of the Penguin version of 'Pride and Prejudice'.

Snap! This one was given to me when I finally moved into my own place after years of living in shared rented houses!
A mug of tea. The mug has 'A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf' on it.

Even the local cat is starting to look pissed off at the state of next door's garden now. The house has been empty for 8 years, yet apparently there's a housing crisis...
A black and white cat, sitting on a red-brick wall with undergrowth in the background. The cat looks distinctly unimpressed. A house with brambles and undergrowth growing up to the height of the downstairs windows. A dilapidated shed with no roof and out-of-control undergrowth around it.
