God, what have you done?
It's a Pink Pansy Court
And you stopped at the curb
Oh mama, I'm just making puns
On the street in my wheels
It's where I belong
Down at the Pink Pansy Court

And you stopped at the curb
Oh mama, I'm just making puns

Finally! Oh no, not that, sorry.
But something almost as good - I'm sure you have wondered just how many maids a-milking your true love winds up sending you at the end of the 12th day of Christmas!
Here's your answer - a grand total of 40 maids a-milking!

In an effort at something good on the internet today: A thread on Mr KJC, gingerbread architect of the early 21st century.
Mr KJC got his beginnings like so many gingerbread architects: with a kit house for the kids. Kind of fun but the premade pieces are dry and nasty, only technically edible.

Ai has confidently told me that I have two cats named Bramble & Clover, I grew up on my grandmother's farm, I was a ballet dancer before I was a writer, and I've been married "many times". All it came from hallucinated sources; none of it is true. This is just one of the many reasons to resist Ai.

From the first century the Great Bath at Bath (Somerset) caught the outflow from Britain's only hot spring for Roman bathers to enjoy.
Water still enters through the original stone culvert and although the vaulted roof has gone, lead pipes remain in situ in the pavement 👀.
