Hats off to Starbucks for the design of their ghost cookies. They really put the willies up.
Cheeky photo of a Starbucks ghost cookie I photographed. The placement of the cookie in the shelving obscures the lower detail such that the tip of a pumpkin stalk makes it look like the ghost has an erection. 

Yes. I know I need to grow up. And no, I shan't.

Asked Google AI to make me a picture of what I envisaged is under my kids' school... Smaug asleep on a treasure pile of lost school cardigans and water bottles. Very pleased with the result!
An AI generated image of Smaug, the dragon from The Hobbit, in a cave under a school asleep on a treasure pile of red school cardigans and brightly coloured lost drinking water bottles... the stuff my kids keep coming home without!

New conspiracy theory just dropped on local FB page. Men are having haircuts. Something going on 🤔
Local barber advertises on Facebook after changing premises. His post is met with suspicion from a local crank, "Barbers shop popping up everywhere... Wots going !!?? Not normal"

Barber replies that they have been open for 6 years and he's been cutting hair in the area for 15 years.

Mrs Paranoia replies "just sayin cos it's true .. there like a pop up bar .. something going on !!"

Our youngest, 3, is obsessed with this Indian youtube channel where this dude, Dr Binocs, teaches science. She's just watched one about parasites that can invade your body and is now learning why farts smell. It's awesome.

Amazing how attitudes have changed. There is a lad in my youngest's nursery caused concern because at the nativity he was doing finger guns at the mummies and daddies and going "pew-pew" Wouldn't have raised an eyebrow when I were a kid. Can't even have dogs with swords these days because of woke.

It's the hope that kills you.
