“Just eight days before these Visitor Information Centre staff at the airport were unceremoniously laid off, they were visited by the Premier himself, who told them to keep up the good work.
We guess he meant to add: "... for one more week."
Is this the kind of respect our Premier has for the public service in Nova Scotia?”

Something lovely for the weekend! A 1,800 year-old Roman glass flask shaped like a mouse! Squeak squeak! 🐭❤️ 📷 by me www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #Archaeology
My photo shows a small Roman flask made of translucent cobalt blue glass in the form of a fat little mouse, 14.6 cm in length. The body of the vessel is rounded and stands on four feet made from tooled trails of glass. A separate blob of glass forms the head with eyes, ears, and a pointed nose. The neck of the flask is funnel-shaped and slightly up-turned to look like a tail. The flask surface is decorated with trails of glass which have been flattened and notched. Modern scholars refer to this type of trailed decoration as ‘snake thread’. On display at the Met Museum in New York

The best present? An alligators present. This holiday season, give your loved ones the gift of alligators. 🐊🎁🎄
A sign that says "Caution. Alligators present. Please do not feed wildlife." The metal sign is painted green and white. There's a silhouette of an alligator in the middle. In the background behind the sign is the surface of the bayou and some greenery.

On the fifth day of Christmas, my Bigbot gave to me... FIIIIIVE GOOOOOLD RINGBOTS!!!! #12BotsofChristmasRemastered
A human hand sporting five gold-coloured Ringbots, each consisting of a spherical body with a face and a banded loop encircling the finger. Most of them are smiling, but the one on the middle finger is asleep and the one on the little finger looks a bit upset. The hand's skin is deep tan and has painted red nails. Text in the bottom right reads, "12 'BOTS OF CHRISTMAS REMASTERED" in alternating red and green letters.

The image is of a comic.
Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?"
Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy."
Santa responds "Very nice!"
Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?"
Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.
