We have a great cheffy pub of the four pubs in our village and this is their new effort, bearing in mind we are in rural Sheffield "How Much" country.

A pub menu with many expensive lobster, oyster, skate and shellfish dishes but the images are AI horrors.

Things I was frightened of when I was a child: 1. Barbara Cartland. 2. The spirit of dark & lonely water. 3. See photo. 4. Being locked in M&S at closing time. 5. Seeing the road through the rust holes in mum's car floor.

Scary alien bloke with massive baldy head from the original Star Trek. Honestly, no idea what it's supposed to be.

So excited this has arrived from @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social and great to have a book of short stories to dip into.

Look at this lovely pair of lads! They're shrinkwrapped at the mo because the spot where I'll be hanging them is being repainted. Thanks to @slipperyjack.bsky.social once again.

Two linocuts in matching black wood frames. One depicts The Mask Peddlar, a horned character with a basket full of human face masks he is selling. The other is a sassy devil playing the fiddle between two standing stones, one of the peddlar's masks on the ground by his feet.

The combination of freshly printed card and newly minted vinyl means records have always been a favourite smell. Anyhow, this is also very good for your ears too! Thanks to @warringtonruncorn.com and to all at @castlesinspace.bsky.social for the usual great service.

Future reference, dock leaves often grow close to nettles. If you get a nettle sting, find a juicy dock leaf, scribble it up and rub it over the sting. Like magic! Obvs an anti-histamine will fix what's happening now. xx

I'm so confused that I thought Chief Chinless was in Dubai posting videos of him dancing to George Michael, and then there's some mad thing about him and Hair-Transplant Chinless trying to break into Dubai like Too Fake Too Chinless.

I'm sorry for subjecting you to this tbh. It's an AI image of Andrew and Tristram Tate in Mad Max gear announcing they are flying from New York to London, then Bucharest, and Dubai by 9pm GMT tonight. This hasn't happened.

I've still not refreshed the paintwork, or replaced the manky flooring, but at least I've finally replaced boring kitchen clock with the natty retro one my beloved bought me.
