Neither, it's a theme park for fans of the Arch Drude, Julian H. Cope. If you show up in a sheepskin flying jacket or a turtle shell then you get in for free. Rides include Spacehoppers, swimming with dolphins and going for a walk with one's very best friend.

It's all kicking off on the village Facebook group. Accident on the motorway means the nearby junction is shut so the roads are a mess. Cue all the NIMBYs moaning about new housing causing traffic issues. God , I hate the whiny sods.

What's worse than the drivel the Telegraph serves up is that they do it behind a paywall. Their readers pay up front to have their blood pressure spiked and for new nightmare scenarios!

Safe to say we are now in the "finding out" stage of human driven climate change. SSTs have been at record levels for a while. Quite scary to watch even from the relative safety of higher ground in Southern England.

Mabel and Barney have the right idea about how to handle a wet Tuesday in October!

A golden retriever asleep on a blue blanket, behind is a rocking chair. A ginger cat is asleep on a checked blanket on the rocking chair. The golden retriever is a bit damp looking as she has been for a walk in the rain. She has been thoroughly toweled down, and is is drying in standby mode.

The deal is a diplomatic no brainer. Rights to the air base for the immediate future are secured. And for any rw loons worrying about the distant future, probably worth checking the geography of DG. Climate change induced sea level rise is going to be a big issue for the T&C islands.

At my local Dobbies. Enjoying a coffee and cake whilst Mabel people watches. I'm going to miss this when it closes. Not chuffed with the owners who managed to screw up a successful business through debt and hubris. Capitalism at its worst.

A slice of Persian lemon cake. Sublime
