Terrible news. My not-so-little Regina is having to be enrolled at the weight clinic at the vets, because she keeps getting chonkier.
Pray for her at this non-snacky time.

Snacking aside, the stage production is surprisingly high quality for a very small, very poor country that half the world doesn't even recognise. Kosovo really wants in to Eurovision.

Late last night I noticed the betting odds suddenly narrowing on Plaid Cymru for the Caerphilly by election, so I hastily put down a bet.
Cheers Nigel Farage. You're paying for my lunch.

Wait wait THIS GUY made an entire movie entitled, "What is a woman"?
This? Guy?
There are monks sitting in mountaintop hermitages that look more like they've spoken to a woman in the last 20 years! That's not a beard! It's the celibacy oozing out of his face!
