Looks like it’s time to stock up on hedgehog food. #hedgehog

Is it true that Amazon will give you a reduction if you add Melania tickets to your order? I think we should be told.

The boys looking a little like rock stars. Plump Floyd, perhaps. (They are, in the words of their greatest fan, satisfyingly plump) #guineapigs #plump

Some light rumblestrutting and celebratory popcorns from Stanley. Casper is suitably nonplussed #guineapigs #rumblestrutting #popcorning

Stanley, our smiling despot. #guineapig

Partners in crime? #guineapigs

Casper caught mid-yawn #guineapig #yawn

Stanley had been busy today turning the cuteness up to 11 #guineapig #cute

Did somebody say treats? Casper. #guineapig

Today's reason to burn AI with fire.

ChatGPT-5 offers dangerous advice to mentally ill people, psychologists warn

There are Christmas albums and there are Christmas albums. This is the latter. Superb production and sumptuous bass, brought to you by the man instrumental in the discovery of the Beatles. Happy advent. #christmasmusic #bertkaempfert #thebeatles #vinyl

Mike Johnson redefining the meaning of hypocrisy

Norman, our bowl- tipper extraordinaire, has excelled himself this morning. Note the self- satisfied look on his face #guineapig

Highlights of last night’s management board meeting. Matters arising: office divider stress test. #guineapigs #boardmeeting

Spot the difference: On the left, Kellogg's "New improved" All-Bran - that's universally hated - compared to the original. Naturally the whole box of the new stuff went in the bin. The end of an era and of me as a Kellog's customer. Shades of the "New Coke" debacle... #allbran #kellogs #unholycockup

Casper taking a break from wheeking at the moon this evening and lurking in a paper bag. He is one noisy were-pig. #guineapig #fullmoon

Our 2 new guinea pigs have a Californian mother (famous for their black snouts) so it’s not surprising they are getting dark noses. However, at the moment, Stanley’s colouring could be considered… unfortunate. #guineapig #toothbrushmoustache #charliechaplin #mustache #notadictator

Stanley looking too cute for his own good. #guineapig

D-Day for introductions: our two new Teddies are in with Norman. After 10 minutes in statue mode and some initial skirmishes it all went quiet. I was expecting Armageddon after 5 minutes. #guineapigs

trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

Two new guinea pigs arrived with us last week, both 3 month old teddies. Stanley on the left, Casper on the right. Casper is a cutie. Stanley on the other hand… #guineapig

Is there such a thing as a Machiavellian Guinea pig? I think so. He just stands by the new boys, watches and plots. #guineapig

Passport stamps. They are a dying breed. To mark 15 years since my father's passing I wrote a liitle piece with a few of the entry & visa stamps he collected on his travels in the early 60s. Plus an interesting travel itinerary! #passport #visa #travel planetsi.com/a-life-well-...

Quite brilliant

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

Forgot I had this - a young pine marten encroaching on one of our hedgehog’s personal space and getting told in no uncertain terms to bugger off. #hedgehog #pinemarten #fight

This must be a first: hedgehogs, sheep and a stork all in the same shot. #hedgehogs #stork #sheep #alsace

Oh. This promises to be troublesome for Briatore. Not a good look for Renault/Alpine or Formula One in general either unlimitedhangout.com/2025/07/inve...

A pair of twisted narcissists, what could possibly go wrong?

The first world problem to end them all.

Aaaand it’s raining in Spa. I’m ready 🍿 #f1 #spa

Long time since an album has been on repeat so much. Don’t go in for lyrics normally but these speak to me #aurora

The scot in me is very proud of this.

Tick tock, tick tock.

Four hedgehogs having their breakfast this evening on the terrace. Magic. #hedgehog

EXCLUSIVE: Not only does an Excel spreadsheet of Trump mentions in the Epstein files exist, but so do training videos explaining how to flag the files for Trump mentions. Plus, the number of people who had access is larger than previously known. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

After yesterday's #britishgrandprix the #F1movie has been been rendered somewhat superfluous...

Had a visit from a juvenile Redstart at breakfast this morning #redstart #fledgling

Next Trump failure in 1,2…

Ah, diddums. Did the nasty people not come to your parade?

Legend

June edition of the German Rolling Stone magazine with a cover mounted 7inch single of Genesis’ The Carpet Crawlers. Proper record too, none of this stylus destroying flexi-disc malarkey. #vinyl #genesis #rollingstone

Lucky enough to have two cherry trees in our garden - the black ones are eating now and the reds will be ready in a few days. Always a race to get the black ones as the blackbirds love ‘em. #cherries
