These took a while to design. I lost my dad eighteen months ago and Father's Day felt like a tough job this year. I got there by thinking about what he gave me. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/fathers-day-...

A £300 tax on your UK summer holiday does sound like a lot... So let’s take a look at this tax, put it in a wider context, and find out where that £300 figure came from.👍🏻 1/26 🧵

WARM

reminder as the weather heats up in the UK that you can make nice iced tea (not the super-sweet american stuff) by: 1) filling a big bottle with water 2) putting four or five tea bags (or equivalent leaf) in it 3) sticking it in the fridge for 6hrs works perfectly.

Farage plans to ditch workers’ rights, cut the NMW, scrap the Equality Act, legalise discrimination, take us out of the ECHR and have a deregulation bonanza to remove our protections and make it easier to exploit and endanger us… for profit. He couldn’t give a shit about working people.

The best day to visit The Bridge, #Topsham. View delightful, beer cracking.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

We're in Bearna, Co. Galway getting something to eat and I am DYING at the doggy portrait gallery in the bathroom corridor

Met a lovely cat on my run this morning #exeter #caturday

Seen elsewhere. For the literary minded...

Yet there you are, outside.

I haven’t sold anything in a week. Lol marswasrubbish.etsy.com

Remembering Victoria Wood, born this day in 1953.

Right - you all thought that quiz was too US-centric. So I've vibe-coded something far more British. Specifically British, because I am *not* making a Northern Irish Political Compass. From taxes to the monarchy, answer the questions and see where you sit. quiz.jmoxley.co.uk

Pete the studio cat’s weekly report. “Another week of keeping this studio running. She does the designing. I do everything else. She wouldn’t last two minutes without me.” 🐾

Just bought a couple of gorgeous mancunian mugs - go check them out: www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/product-page...

As we enjoy the schadenfreude of Reform councillors dropping like flies, we should remember that each of these wasters is costing cash strapped councils £60k in by-election costs.

Independent creative businesses are quietly having a tough time right now. So if there’s a maker, illustrator or designer whose work you love, this is a good time to tell people about them. Buy something if you can. Share their work if you can’t. This is me www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

You know your dog thinks you were out of the house too long when he's figured out how to make his own tea while waiting for you. #dogs #tea #beagle

There’s only a flippin’ sale on in the shop! 25% off shirts! 10% off stickers! Other discounts are available! Everything is a stinking trash fire so why not treat yourself!! www.redbubble.com/people/docha...

My friend is walking the 630 miles of the south west coastal path (aka the salt path) to raise money for a local charity that supports older people, the terminally ill, and their pets. Unlike some people, she is really going to walk it. All of it. More here: cinnamon.org.uk/fundraising-...

It is completely mad that we did this to ourselves. Where is the benefit in stopping independent, small, creative businesses from trading in the EU? Oh, and take a look at Gail's designs, they're fab.

Some news - you can read it all in the alt text www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

Just been lucky enough to notice a Great Spotted Woodpecker nest and see an adult feeding the chicks - you can hear them chittering excitedly when the food arrives!

"I once said I was given £5 million for my security, then a few days later said it was a reward for Brexit"

Still very much in the market for other examples of linguistic arseholery like the ones in this thread 👇

It's #NationalStationeryWeek, which seems like a good enough reason to talk about cards. There are now over 80 card designs in my shop. £3 each or 5 for £12. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/greeting-cards

I know I keep banging on about my designs but it’s not easy being a small business at the moment. Take a look at my wares and please repost. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk Thanks!

Try him with a wheel, one of our cats loves it.

You can't even do Star Wars anagrams these days because of ewok.

We have an *extremely* important announcement to make. From Wednesday, we will be launching our puffin live cam, coming to you from the Farne Islands. So you can watch puffins all day long. In celebration, please enjoy this clip of puffins being really busy for 39 seconds straight.

The cat shelter where I volunteer has very little money (cough, donation link www.paypal.com/paypalme/don... cough) and actual meat is a rare treat. So when they do have it, they get a little...excited:

Sad news for fans of Ted.

I’m back at the Lowry in Salford a month today with my family comedy show and I need bums on these seats! If you know any North West families, please point them in this direction thelowry.com/whats-on/ola...
