Here is Weasel. She is joining the tripod pirate cat brigade following a fight with a car. Wish her luck. Vet wanted £6k to set the bone. £6k! Still bloody £1500 to lop the bloody leg off. Honestly. Bloody cats. 🐈‍⬛

I think I've gone a bit mad reading this book. I have added some more real and imagined locations to the map. The novel is really McEwan's best in years and I highly recommend it. It reminds me of David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas) with more nobbing and less clones.

Last week's comic. I'm new to The Traitors and predictably loved every minute of it

1
CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN [entering the breakfast room]:

Good morning everyone 

2
CW:
Today’s mission is the hardest one yet:

3
CW:
Having absolutely *no chill whatsoever*.

4 
[Various of the Contestants doing their best ‘disproportionate reaction’ faces]:

Oh my god

Oh my god

Oh my god

5 
JADE:
*HAUNTED SIDEYE* 

6 
AMANDA [shaking head, saying out loud]:
Inappropriately solemn reaction shot

7
[In the car en route to the Mission, spotting a few props set up in the woods];

JESSIE:
OH MI GOOOOD 

8 

JESSIE:
What is THAAAAT

[unseen contestant responding off-frame]:
It’s some props in a wood

9
ROXY [in the middle of doing a silly task in the sunny countryside]:

WE’VE GOT TO DO AN ESSENTIALLY UNDEMANDING TASK IN THE PLEASANT COUNTRYSIIIDE 

10
REECE [crying, being comforted by solemn contestants]:

I’m just feeling sad about the silly parlour game

11
MATTHEW [stern face, hand up in the roundtable like he’s a lawyer striking the killer blow]:

Can I just get some clarification on what you meant by… ‘Good morning’?

12
RACHEL [in the staring-murderously-to-camera bit]

I can’t believe he said “Good morning”
