A bunch of squorls were just chillin’ on a neighbour’s roof (we suspect there’s a nest in the loft space).
Four grey squirrels just hanging out in the guttering at the edge of a pitched roof. One of them has a front paw draped over the side of the guttering. They are very chill. The one to the right of them is gazing out to the horizon as if admiring the sunset. The one to the left looks a bit squished into the gutter, as if laying on its side. The last one is eyeballing a pigeon out of shot further up the roof.

Spent this afternoon seeing Steve Coogan in @aiannucci.bsky.social’s production of Dr. Strangelove - a birthday present for last year from @irlsunbug.bsky.social. Absolutely fantastic - a lot of laughs were had!
Photo of the stage at the Noel Coward theatre London. A corrugated grey panelled curtain fills the space under the proscenium arch with the words “Dr. Strangelove” projected on the upper part. Another photo of the stage at the theatre. The curtains are now open revealing a tiled floor, on which upstage is a large oval table covered in a green beize. A large circular light hangs overhead, while the “big board” makes up the backdrop - three projection screens showing cracks as if they were broken. The cast of the show are standing either side of the table, with Generals Ripper and Turgidson standing centre in front of the table. Standing downstage centre in front of them, taking a bow is Steve Coogan as Dr. Strangelove.

His photos are fantastic. I was incredibly pleased to win this in the auction at the Fforde Ffiesta a few years back.
Photo of a framed print on my living room wall. The black & white large format print shows the underside of the Schneider Trophy-winning Supermarine S.6B, with the propeller to the top of the frame and various wing struts and supports, along with the underside of the fuselage. Close up of Jasper Fforde’s signature in the corner of the print referred to in the previous image.

She’s an old girl but still likes a snuggle (terms subject to change with no notice required).
