If you ever worry Brits are too serious or reserved, ask us about our politics where a man dressed as a bin got 9,000 votes to be a member of our Parliament in a by-election. Brits love a bit of anarchy and an underdog who rinses establishment rubes. May the Count be forever standing for election.

Spectacular red hued moon last night driving back from Newcastle. Much "fun" was had when they closed the A1 & A19 but didn't put up diversion signs. No one updated Google about the road closures, so some old style navigating ensured. The bonus was the moody photo capture of last night's moon.
