Ieyasu-kun promotes Aichi Prefecture's historical spots. He wears golden armour, but he likes peace. He is slow and steady but occasionally gets excited when something good happens.

A mascot wearing golden armour stands on a red-carpeted stage in front of a screen.

Do you ever think to yourself “how on earth did I become conversant in this subject to the extent you would ask *me* for advice on it?”? (Note I am not talking about bread, cake, sandwiches, houseplants, or creating a shrine to The Incredible Hulk I know how I became conversant in those subjects)

Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

My view is $60 rye bread is not going to be 20x better than a loaf I could make myself, way more than double the cost of ingredients, and sell for £3. And also loss-leader bread full of sugar and no nutritional value is an equally bad proposition. Uh, everyone deserves good bread is that ok?

Being a carpenter for 30 years has made me superb at sharpening things. All Airbnb knife drawers are an abomination, so I take a diamond stone on holiday. To the people after us who experience that thing where it's as though a tomato is weirdly made of nothing: you're welcome.

Pretty sure a fox came into my house in dead of night and stole one of my Birkenstock sandals for a tasty* treat Why oh why could this fox not have stolen both sandals as uncertainty about whether the other sandal is actually still in the house somewhere prevents me from buying a new pair *YMMV

I bought tickets for Fatoumata Diawara in November off the back of this which I think is in keeping with Damon Albarn’s intent. I missed her a couple of years ago because I had COVID. Yesterday her voice was so powerful it felt like it could level the stadium

Children’s picture book character Pandorobou (the Bread Thief) is a a mouse who disguises himself as a loaf of bread to sneak into bakeries and steal fresh bread.

A slice of white bread with a grey mouse’s limbs, nose, and eyes poking out of it is posing for the camera.

This leaflet came through the door what the hell is that pest top left

Top of a flyer for a pest solution supplier with 5 images of household pests I think it’s a wasp, cockroach, cute little mouse, some other beetle thing. Then top left is a furry bipedal creature with spindly arms and glowing red eyes plus two spikes coming out of its groin

As somebody who doesn’t drive and likes to take holidays in the UK I really appreciate the Peak District. Public transport is decent, both train and bus, and you can strike out for a walk in absolutely epic countryside in no time from most anywhere.
