I have a cat, he might get mentioned occasionally.

Was once @awpchristie on Twitter.

Dad has taken to sending the WhatsApp group he has with just me and brother in a photo from his daily morning walk each day.

It's rather lovely.
Sink Laundry works for me, but then, this is a house with a "Cold Cupboard" (fridge) and a "Hot box" (combi microwave/oven) due to similar fuzzy brain moments...
My brain couldn't come up with the phrase "wash the dishes" so I just told my wife I needed to "do the sink laundry"

I suddenly feel much better about the fact that as a toddler, my daughter used to point at the picture of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall on the front of River Cottage recipe books and say "Daddy ona book!"

Good morning to nobody except this spectacular brown lad, who deserves all the best things today.

That is all.
Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Oh dear lord. Thank you for the memory, social media, but you weren't even invented when this was taken and it certainly wasn't seventeen years ago... More like 25!

This juxtaposition provides fantastic insights into the duality of humankind.

2. "I shall put my body into these holes"

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

ChatGPT no longer
Writes odes to my kazoo
Roses are red

It's just a big chatbot
But I really loved it
Roses are red
My lover was a bot
It used to serenade me
But now it cannot

Now *that's* a pothole.
CCTV video captured the moment a huge sinkhole swallowed part of a busy road in Shanghai, China on Wednesday. Authorities said the cause was a leak at a subway construction site.

This is the video that makes me rethink my position on the monarchy.

Screw abolition, that's old hat, we need to make this guy the king.

What's particularly telling is the responses of the reform MPs. A couple laugh but Farage looks livid - he can dish it out but god forbid someone makes a joke at his expense.
