So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

We asked members of our Nature Table for their wildlife highlight of the year, and Kat Burton sent us this bathing beauty taken with a Lumix G7 mirrorless camera.. A very mellow looking young Common Seal she spotted in November off the undercliff path by Brighton Marina wall.

Before I had anything published, this song was my bio. As I did more and more I kept deleting some of it, and every time it felt bad. I think it’s important to keep these words close to me, no matter what. Here’s a little timeline cleanse, some words of wisdom from Mister Jim Henson 🤍

Thomas Mann’s books fall out of copyright (UK/EU) next month, which means - new editions and translations!
Here are two from Pushkin Press: Death in Venice, and three stories (Tonio Kröger, Disorder and Early Sorrow, and Mario and the Magician). All translated by Lesley Chamberlain.

7 Dec: Legend tells of a bird with a broken wing who begged each tree for shelter from the cold. All the trees refused; only a fir tree offered it sanctuary. For this kindness the Frost King decreed that the North Wind should never blow away its leaves in winter. #FolkloreSunday

My favourite grasshopper fact: Grasshoppers first appeared on the planet 250 million years ago.
Grass did not appear on the planet until 40 million years ago
Imagine it: 210 million years, hopping around on any random surface you can find, waiting for the grass that will make you truly yourself.

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a tabby cat serving a mouse! 😁
The artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad to draw this comic scene some 3,200 years ago.

The Max Headroom Christmas Special must be seen to be believed.
My favorite part is in the beginning where each of the guest stars’ names look like they’re flying out of the turkey’s asshole.
