Hahaha. We need so much more of this Private Eye style ridicule when it comes to Farage. No one should be taking him seriously any more.

Wildfire in Clacton
AS temperatures soared on Friday, Essex fire authorities reported things were so bad that a man's pants had caught fire.
The individual, identified as Nigel Farage, had claimed Essex police had told him to keep away from his by-election declaration.
"We've never seen such an enormous fire coming from a single pair of Union Jack Y-fronts," said a police spokesman. "We urge members of the public to avoid pants on fire by at least coming up with a half-decent excuse for their cowardice."

Devastated to have had to say goodbye to Jack earlier today. He really was the best boy. Got him from a rescue centre when he was 1. He had a great life and I am grateful to have been his human for 14 years.

A collage of 6 photos of Jack, a white Jack Russell. The best boy!

I do love a series. Having said that, I would also add anything by Frances Hardinge, Deeplight and A Skinful of Shadows in particular.

April brings us a squirrel off to a fancy dress party as either a flasher or Columbo…just one more thing… @natty008.bsky.social

A taxidermy squirrel with huge brown eyes (one bigger than the other), wearing Columbo’s beige raincoat. It is standing on a shelf, surrounded by vases and covered in cobwebs.

Mad March is an apt description for this month’s bad taxidermy. Startled, shorts wearing seagull! @natty008.bsky.social

A startled looking seagull with googly eyes, wings flapping, standing on a dusty sideboard. It is wearing red shorts!
A bronze bust admires the wing span.
There’s a mirror on the wall behind the gull, but no reflection. A vampire gull?
There are cream floral curtains, with tie backs, hung like the mirror is a window.

February’s bad taxidermy! Looks like it belongs to the JRM family. 😂 @natty008.bsky.social

A dapper ferret/yoda fruit bat like creature with wide dark eyes and a toothy grimace, in a red bow tie, black top hat with blue band round it, taking tea with unknown company, from a white china tea cup with a gold rim and pink roses on it. Mad Hatter’s tea party springs to mind, for some reason.

Life is short. A cliché perhaps but one I’ve come to accept & understand over the past year. I’d like to travel a bit more before I pop my clogs, to visit family in Australia & many other places. I’ll need to earn some money, so in February I’m going to make my original available to purchase…

It was certainly unexpected. I saw it pecking at something and it suddenly picked it up. Luckily I had the camera on it at the time.

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?
