I had one of these yesterday but they aren't vegetarian we can therefore infer these are made from Mr Bobby himself. his flesh harvested in screaming agony or perhaps Bayne's sell his children? but the idea of a r-strategy Blobby brood is upsetting. I think that's the plot of the new Starcraft

pink-iced shortbread in a 8 shape, with yellow iced spots on the body and a poorly rendered iced bow tie and face, with the smile a carmine red, held against a Bayne's The Bakers paper bag

reading the Count of Monte Cristo I'm getting the distinct feeling Dumas was paid by the line [he was]

'Waiter!' Danglars called. 'A pen, ink and paper!' 'A pen, ink and paper, Fernand muttered. 'Yes, I am an accountant: pens, ink and paper are the tools of my trade, and without them I can do nothing?' 'A pen, some ink and some paper!' Fernand repeated to the waiter: What you need is over there on the table,' the waiter said, indicating the items they had requested. "Give them to us, then." The waiter brought the paper, some ink and a quill pen, and put them on the table in the arbour.

meanwhile most of my photos were of signs

a "swans nesting" sign except it's degraded to read merely "swans sting"

NO UNAUTHORISED VEHICLES BEYOND THIS POINT and a smaller follow up sign to patch an unintended side effect: IMPORTANT NOTICE DELIVERY ACCESS PERMITTED

"do not trespass on the railway" sign affixed to an upright plank too narrow for it, so the precut holes for the screws in the corners couldn't be used and they've add to drill extra ones. Also it's a picturesque coastal line immediately along the foreshore with a pier and the Forth in the background

a parking sign specifying the specific statutory instrument that backs it

went to an incongruously fancy library in an otherwise unremarkable bit of town and picked up The Cyberiad, a short story anthology from Stanisław Lem tr. Michael Kandel they're all surreal funny adventures that are a delight to read

Elder Park library, a category A listed building from 1903. "Edwardian baroque single storey library with some sculptured detail, serpentine front with wide shallow-curved portico on paired Tuscan columns (doors in recessed area within), diminutive roof dome behind balustrade. Outer bays treated as ends of flanking ranges whose rear elevation are pedimented, each with canted bay and oculus in tympanum; 3 oculi in wall area between; 5-bay flanks."

A life-size sculpture of a wolf made from grey and white lego bricks sits in the middle of a supermarket aisle. Someone has placed a smaller "jumbo sausage dog" soft toy (from the nearby toy aisle) next to it, positioned so they are facing each other.

so it turns out if you order the "Veggie hoggie" where one would normally have döner, fries and cheese, instead of grilled vegetables or something you instead get onions and lettuce kebab garnish 😭 chapati was good though

a polystyrene container inside which resides a chapati wrap containing a tonne of onions, lettuce, and the occasional tomato. There were some chips at the bottom, but we're talking 80% salad here. No cheese to be seen
