Last night I dreamed I was at an arcade, with one of these coin-pusher machines, except that instead of coins it was filled with packs of butter. I won two packs of Kerrygold and also one of the few BIG WIN prizes, a block of mature cheddar. Amateur analysis welcome, the madder the better

Everyone shut up and look at this round bottomed mouse making the rockin' world go round

I follow this person on Instagram and every new post I am gobsmacked at the simplicity of the pencil strokes vs the perfection and life and energy in the end result. Literal magic. www.instagram.com/shouxin13141...

Smoking breaks, but with bubble pipes

Struck today by how fast oystercatchers fly. Why? It's not like oysters are renowned for their sprinting prowess

Happy Full Woim Moon to all who celebrate
