Every now and then I remember I can take the boat into town.

Let's not have the East Anglian derby on my birthday please

Ms Q got a photo of our cat in our bed, good meme potential I think

A fine use of £10 #ExcesoSodio

A round up, in no particular order, of the peregrine falcon nest cams of England: Spring 2026 Expect to see the first eggs laid in some of these locations in the next week or two

Made a Maigret bingo card, what have I missed? 📚💙

every single boy scout and girl guide in the northern hemisphere seems to be barrelling around the west end in aid of something today

What would be the worst foodstuff to find a golden ticket in the packaging for?

Fond of this painting in the National Gallery - a portrait of Giovanni Agostino della Torre and his son Niccolò, by Lorenzo Lotto, not least because it looks like a Christmas day video call with your dad and your brother.
