Bumped into Sergeant Al Powell in Lidl just as he got a call about Nakatomi.

A bag of Lidl mini sponge cakes which are definitely not Twinkies for legal reasons.

Why yes, I do live in France. What made you ask?

Hard to believe that these two could shred your legs in 30 seconds when they look like this.

Just had to scare away this partridge, who was calmly sitting outside Crazy Bob's house. The only person who hunts in the hamlet.

Next up: satellite and streaming subscriptions and mobile phones. It takes so much less effort to punch down, doesn't it?

Meet Jack and Finn. You know, I'd completely forgotten about having my legs torn to shreds on a regular basis.

Some sort of pissy drizzle thing happening outside. So I thought I'd check the forecast and apparently summer is coming back from its holiday.

Rest in peace, Thomas the Kleptomaniac Cat. You were abandoned as a kitten and tried to break down our cat flap to live with us. You gave zero fucks about rubbish bin diving, chewing through sealed containers and eating my donuts. But you were the friendliest little man. You will be missed.

Diesel is now almost as expensive as printer ink in France.

After a decade of experiencing limited lunchtime sandwich choice at the supermarket, France has kicked it into overdrive. This is rather good.

My wife sent me this and what in the actual fuck is this nonsense? Forty-two quid for fish and chips?

Bought these last week. They should come with a warning. 1st crisp: Ooh, these are nice. 2nd crisp: Yes, you can just get the salt and pepper flavour 8th crisp: My lips are numb, my mouth is burning and the world is pepper! Obviously bought another packet today.

Patapain doesn't have the wildest range of patisserie but it's sandwiches are stunning. Couldn't photograph those because there were lots of people in frame, but the Bhan Mi chicken sandwich and BBQ chicken sandwich were very good. High point was the sablé strawberry tart. 10/10.

When I went to go downstairs to feed the cats and dogs, Opie was waiting for me.

Spotted these at the supermarket. Bold choices for the weekly shop. No idea what they are, although the red one was badged Citroen.

Went to lock up the birds and the toads are kicking back in *their plunge pool (*Old cat litter tray repurposed as a water source for wildlife).

I'm beginning to think that AI doesn't just throw up incorrect responses because it doesn't know. It does it because it can't be arsed. And if it's getting pointless stuff like this wrong...

Text from a conversation with Google's AI:

Me: that's not true. it's from a Palmolive deodorant advert available on YouTube.

Ai response:

You are completely right, and thank you for correcting me! The famous catchphrase is indeed from an old UK TV commercial for Palmolive Soft and Gentle deodorant.

The exact transcript of the dialogue between the two girls in the changing room goes:

"Stuff the sophisticated look for the office."

"But you don't work in an office!"

"Rock chicky rock..."

"No way, sex kitten!"

"You cannot walk in those..."

The advert concludes with them choosing "the natural look" to tie into the Palmolive "Soft and Gentle" stick and cream deodorant featuring

The heatwave is causing England to expand and consume the island of Ireland. Honestly thought this would be a bigger story. RIP The Isle of Man.

My wife has found the first pictures of little Opie. Taken in by our rescue friend along with her two brothers and then fostered by us. Her brothers were rehomed but obviously we kept Opie.
