Our favourite squirrel dismantlers and trip hazards, seen here still nagging me for yet more snacks at some ungodly hour the other night. Happy gotcha day, Bernard (blue collar) and Reginald (red) - two years with us today.

Sunday: a sparrow. Monday: a squirrel (already his fifth this spring). Tuesday: a mouse. Other than catbiscuits, this yoghurt is about the only thing Bernard's eaten this week that didn't once have a pulse. Clearly a bigger bell is required on his collar. Maybe one of Big Ben's.

All sorted for this evening. Balming booze not in shot.

Mavis Mason would have been 21 years of age today. Old enough to receive the full National Living Wage. Old enough to supervise a learner driver. Old enough to hold a license for a bus. Old enough to apply to adopt a child. She'd have been many things. We're just so grateful that we had been hers.

And fewer still compare and contrast the video layout for this track with that for Propaganda's Duel. The latter designed by Paul Morley, but inspired as much by the former's Bruce Hill as by the more often cited Salvador Dali?

I'd have quite happily declined the IPAs and Hells as well, but I'd have been all over that or any other cake-flavoured stout. My apologies! It's always a joy when I can source some of this 12% carrot cake stout from the Netherlands, in particular.

A bottle of carrot cake-flavoured stout beer from the Netherlands, most of the contents of which have been poured into the beer glass to its right and the viewer's left. The bottle label bears the name "MADS", the name of the stout. The beer glass is a present-day standard pint glass, additionally bearing a picture of a windmill and two logos for the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). The glass sits upon a circular dark pink coaster.

Sooooo... twenty years ago today, this happened. Still the best job I've ever had. Still the best job I ever will. Sadly, still among the shortest lived, too. But my God, writing full-time about your hobby under the tutelage of some amazing people takes some beating.
