Oxford Mail headline: Man digs up potato shaped like a rubber duck in Yarton (plus photo of potato with a large round ‘body, a smaller bit that looks like a head with an eye, and a knobble on the side of that which resembles a beak)

In my dream I found myself in a very fancy Nathan Barley-esque design agency which turned out to be on a boat.
We ended up in Ghent* & I was panicking about how to get home when I realised it looked like a simulation & I made myself wake up.
*NB I have NEVER been to Ghent

Weird sepia tone flying dream where I encountered a nightclub full of tiny skinny cats held underneath a cupboard & then went to ‘Moth Club’ - a posh cocktail bar full of flying moths & butterflies - became rather unpleasant & I woke up when they got into my eyes & mouth! Ugh!

I drew it in the pub hence the demonic red glow but if feels kind of apt!
