Chaps! Do yourself a favour and get a blood test done to have your PSA levels checked. I did last month and my elevated levels triggered off a scan, biopsy and prostate cancer diagnosis. The good news is that is a tiny amount, confined and not aggressive. Seems a good time to urge others to check!

Adore this. If you've ever been lucky enough to go to a citizenship ceremony you'll know that it's big-hearted and deeply nourishing. Our immigration debate could learn so much from them.

Folks in Europe: my book is out today for you. It’s pretty North America centric, but I think there are plenty of universal jokes as well ❤️
In case you missed it, I've got a new book called THE BIRDING DICTIONARY. It's out wherever you buy books, and it's funny yet educational, plus it's gift sized and has dozens of original cartoons. Thank you to the folks who've bought it and sent me pics of them/their kids laughing while reading!
