My wife knocked up a quick birthday cake. I questioned, in the current climate, the wisdom of including Hitler-pig.
The top of a cake. The sides are palisaded with chocolate fingers and the top is covered in chocolate ganache. Sat in the ganache are five decorative pigs having fun in the mud. One has a lump of ganache on their head that looks like one of their siblings couldn't control their bowels adequately. At the back sits a pig with a ganache comb over and moustache. It is clearly Hitler-pig.

Institution HR have sent around a survey about our Professional Development Review system.

I am not in the mood to be engaging constructively with this sort of bullshit.
Screenshot of a survey response. Question: What one change would you most like to see in the PDR Process? Answer: Nuke it from orbit, it is the only way to be sure.

Looks familiar.
A ginger cat sits loaf-like by an empty food bowl whilst giving a contemptuous stare at the camera. Immediately behind him is a tub of cat food, sat doing nothing.

Photos threw this one up of my two when they were tiny kittens. This Christmas is two years since Freja died and three since Odin. I still miss my cats so much. #ProofOfCat
Two kittens, one ginger, one white with a red collar, are laying together on a blue sofa. They are head to tail and shoving each other with their little kitten paws. They continued to aggravate each other like this for the rest of their lives.

I'm really struggling to draw Lillipup. Second row on the right is a thing of nightmares.
A notebook page with five drawings, allegedly of the Pokémon Lillipup. All five are dreadful but a couple would scare the hardest hearted person.

Breakfast of kings.
A photograph of a packet of Co-op chocolate digestives and a two litre bottle of Iron Bru.

I love* the way my eldest's school advertises its ableist attendance policy and 'competitions' with the most inaccessible (and eye burningly ugly) documents.
A screen shot of part of a document sent by a school (no really, actually sent by a school). Orange text with red highlight: "YOU MUST BE IN IT TO WIN IT!" Orange text with bright pink highlight: "You must have 100% Attendance from 9th December to 20th December to go into the raffle and have a chance to win!" Orange text with dark blue highlight (actually almost readable): "Keep up the 100% Attendance!"

Still shot from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home showing Spock mindmelding with a humpback whale.

The same view from a month ago.
A grass field covered in dew. There is a hint of mist in the distance around the base of the autumnal trees. The sky is clear and the morning sun is low in the sky, casting long shadows. In the distance a low, modern school building is lit up by the sunlight.

Snow!
A grass field lightly dusted with snow. On the far side are bare trees and a low, modern school building with a snowy roof.

Derp. #ProofOfCat (both sadly deceased).
A white floofy cat is derping with string. She has her front paw lifted in the air by her head with a daft look on her face. Behind her ginger brother looks away in contempt.

If you see this, post a dog.
Two black Labradors in a house. The smaller one is lying on the floor. The larger one is sat on the smaller one.

Toot toot.
The top of a traditional steamer peeping over from the far side of a wooden quay. In the background is a rugged hillside. Taken in Glenridding, Cumbria; the fell behind is Place Fell.
