Spot the difference: On the left, Kellogg's "New improved" All-Bran - that's universally hated - compared to the original. Naturally the whole box of the new stuff went in the bin. The end of an era and of me as a Kellog's customer. Shades of the "New Coke" debacle... #allbran #kellogs #unholycockup

Our 2 new guinea pigs have a Californian mother (famous for their black snouts) so it’s not surprising they are getting dark noses. However, at the moment, Stanley’s colouring could be considered… unfortunate. #guineapig #toothbrushmoustache #charliechaplin #mustache #notadictator

D-Day for introductions: our two new Teddies are in with Norman. After 10 minutes in statue mode and some initial skirmishes it all went quiet. I was expecting Armageddon after 5 minutes. #guineapigs

Two new guinea pigs arrived with us last week, both 3 month old teddies.

Is there such a thing as a Machiavellian Guinea pig? I think so. He just stands by the new boys, watches and plots. #guineapig

Passport stamps. They are a dying breed. To mark 15 years since my father's passing I wrote a liitle piece with a few of the entry & visa stamps he collected on his travels in the early 60s. Plus an interesting travel itinerary! #passport #visa #travel

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.
Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
That, right there, is the problem.

EXCLUSIVE: Not only does an Excel spreadsheet of Trump mentions in the Epstein files exist, but so do training videos explaining how to flag the files for Trump mentions. Plus, the number of people who had access is larger than previously known. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...
