It was a bit nippy - I've never seen snow on the dunes there before - but the dogs kept warm by play-fighting each other to the play-death.

Once again the plan of taking a random day off, mid-week in early January, and going to the beach pays off.

Ended up walking away from the river anyway, and by a small stream, which had built its own ice-sculptures. Very peaceful and wintery. Like a fucking fairytale, it was.

I'm getting reports that Trump has launched three biplanes from Central America, to attack two Vuvuzela blokes, in their traditional purple army uniforms. Stay tuned for more.

This image, which appeared on my FB a while ago, encapsulates AI and its advocates perfectly. Obviously, someone asked for the ultimate man-toilet and got a set-up where you're shitting into your beer fridge, next to an unwatchable telly. The fridge wouldn't even work, because the door won't close.
