Badgers, whisky, gardens, cheese, cats. Important stuff like that.
I can't believe they're still trying to claim these are "dog paw prints" and not "the ancient faces of haunted souls attempting escape from the nth dimension", but I'm sure the archaeologists know best.
A Roman roof tile with multiple dog paw prints from Leicester. Now in the Jewry Wall Roman Experience. #FindsFriday

Like many I was shocked to hear of Quentin Willson‘s passing & while many will remember his time on Top Gear & Fifth Gear, let’s not forget his excellent ‘The Car’s The Star’ series, which was a neat & considered history of notable cars.

Here’s a particularly good example.

It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.

So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.

I originally said 20 nights 👇
It's now night 23. I think we've had 2 nights with nothing.
Molly just goes upstairs and hides under a bed more or less when it gets dark rather than even wait for them to start 😡🐈☹️

She soon got bored of living in a cardboard box, so she's moved...
It's definitely going to be one of those days 🐈🤦‍♂️

I don't give a monkey's tuppeny toss about the reviews it's now getting as a "gastropub".
This was a fabulous proper pub for years and I loved it how it used to be.

Coming back from the pub. Under a moist badger's moon, or something.

Important.
In Icelandic we have 'Ókind' for monster. But the translation is un-sheep. So everything not a sheep is dangerous.

Probably not a great idea to start watching this at 11.00pm on a school night, but we've just got to this 👇 bit now so I can sleep easy.

Rare serious post

When I arrived here in an ambulance, sirens and blue lights going, Saturday night, I was terrified, I was genuinely scared, I thought I was going to die.

But people from all nations and walks of life fixed me and cared for me, and all for free.

Thank fuck for the NHS.

Pint?
