Can't get over how tragic it is that King Henry VIII missed out on potatoes by just a few brief years. He would have bloody loved chips. 😞

This guy is hanging around in the garden . Taking a break from pecking wood to nibble on a fat ball. Can't say I blame him.

Peony Bowl Of Beauty is out. What a gorgeous flower she is.

Parenting tip! Several times a day, reassure your kids that they are genuine human children constructed using exactly the same natural biological processes as all the other human children they encounter.

Not doing The Voice makes clear what a beautiful song this is really. And now i'm crying a lil bit bc of the timing of this with ArtemisII and all... like yeah we DO like the moon ;u;

This song STILL lives in my head rent free.

We're coming towards the end of daffodil season, but there are some really lovely ones out now

I explained what a national protest movement was, and she explained that she's in kindergarten, thus can't be at the forefront of something like that. She made a sign, though.

Netflix cancelled Bad Dinosaurs after a mere 8 episodes and somehow, according to my kid, it's my fault. She cheered up when I told her that the show was made by @rathergood.bsky.social, the guy who did the Viking Kittens video she loves, but then she demanded I tell him to make more episodes.

Absolutely ruined that song for me, much like @rathergood.bsky.social's Destiny's Child "Alf Garnett / I depend on meat" Flash video did in the pre-Twitter days youtu.be/txz83WACjxY?...

Our hens have been very busy laying lovely eggs.

Pavlov's Dog - if you see a dog in act 1, it has to explode in act 3.

Found this lovely fluffy chonker snuffling about in one of my crocuses just now. Spring is here! Wheeeeee! There are buds starting to crack on my fruit trees, it's all coming back to life THANK GOD!

Ah yes, back when the Web was still new and strange but was just beginning to take off in the popular consciousness. The Crab of Ineffable Wisdom, and the Spongmonkeys liked the Moon, and then they were in a national ad campaign and it felt like you were In On Something for having Known Them When. 😁

STEPKID: *begins laughing in incredulous horror* ME: *wearily* They were incredibly popular. They did an ad for Quiznos. STEPKID: If I saw that as a child I would be scarred for life. ME: I’m just saying that it doesn’t have to be good to be amazing.

Attempted to explain the Spongmonkeys to Stepkid today. I had emphasized that they were crudely animated. I do not think I emphasized it enough.

I know you think the world has problems but I just put milk in my lemsip. Drank it anyway.

The missus has just used the word “seepage” in conversation and now I must post this Veitch masterpiece. It’s the law

Buy my new self-care product CALaMari - the big squid you wrap snuggly around your shoulders. Nothing takes your mind off the struggle to pay the bills like the soft embrace of powerful tentacles while a cruel beak gnaws pitilessly through your skull.

When we started putting hundreds of enraged squids in the cockpits of our airliners, people asked if it was really a good idea. However, there really is no other way. They are angry at the best of times and airliner cockpits always enrage them.

The first time I encountered the phrase "pre-loved" was in 1999 in Melbourne where the sex shop round the corner had a nauseating sign for "pre-loved magazines" - so your listing for a pre-loved luxury gucci handbag gives me a vision of you doing unspeakabke things to it, you perv.

Barney is having a very relaxing post-Christmas Sunday morning

Wife: why do you have 8 cubes filled with ink? Me: for eggs Wife: why are you only putting eggs in the eighth cube? Me: I am ink cube eighting them Wife: ok, I need to explain something to you...

I need a new series to start watching with my lovely wife. Any suggestions?

We sang We Like The Moon at the gig last night - the first time we have ever done this song live. So much fun, we'll do this (and a couple of other classic Rathergood songs) in the middle of the ska set next time we do one of these.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT! We'll be doing our only live gig of the year at the New Cross Inn in London. Come on down it's going to be AWESOME. Here's the First Drink Of The Day from the same place last year... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jha...

Somewhere, unbidden, the nonsense name "Gingoskophot" burst into my head. Could not for the life of me recall where I remembered it from. Turns out it was Tales of the Blode episode 4 by @rathergood.bsky.social, which, on reflection, makes a lot of sense.

I am sorry but it has to be done @rathergood.bsky.social

Less than 2 weeks till we rock out at the New Cross Inn! Whoop whoop!

@rathergood.bsky.social Joel, someone made a #Spongmonkey Hallowe'en costume! Nostalgia nonetheless, hahahahah! www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/...

Friend and I have been wanting to see you since we were in 6th form. Now double that age later it's finally happening baby! (with much creakier dancing)

An American pancake shop institutes a strict dress code, and their security staff must locate and eject anyone wearing jeans. IHOP Denim Hunters.

We had a lovely chat with Steve Smith from Beakus on Sparklegoose! The Cartoon Podcast! (honk) about his show Big Lizard, how to get shows away and make lovely things. Also his fave cartoon Duckman, which is great. You can give it a listen on Spotify here open.spotify.com/episode/5iVI...

I fancied a carrot at lunch but the smallest unit of carrots was 1kg and so now I am walking around the Brand Licensing Europe trade fair with loads of carrots.

My first bottle of rose hip syrup! It's delicious as you'd expect. This is my third foraged syrup of the autumn- I've already done damson syrup and crabapple syrup. All a bit foraging bonkers this year.

@rathergood.bsky.social your gremlins and critters are being honoured!

I've foraged some rose hips. I'm going to make rose hip syrup. First time! I've gone a bit foraging bonkers this autumn.

Smallest daughter just brought me a 'posh apple" - amazing!

Here is an episode of Sparklegoose! The Cartoon Podcast! all about music in animation. We talked to the wonderful Pablo Anson about how it works, and discussed the great George Bruns. open.spotify.com/episode/1RF5...
