Oh running out of tea! Also love the cat drawings. It’s as if we have the same three cats. At least it looks that way in the pictures.

Thanks for your comment, Anna. Yes, the tea situation was a disaster. I'm still emotionally traumatised. The cats are eating so much that we think there is a really bad freeze coming, not to mention going bankrupt

I had to laugh at this post Terry. When I first started reading the part about taking your brother to the vet. I thought what the heck?! You had me there for a sec.

Your haircut drawings are hilarious. I actually burst out laughing when I saw them. The one on the left reminds me of someone (not me).

On the suitcase front, forgetting it is a bit puzzling. Who forgets their suitcase? If you're going on a trip, you would think you would remember that you need clothes, etc. Maybe your mind was confused on that day.

That is a winner advertisement in my book. It wasn't what I was expecting to happen. That driver sure got what was due of him.

You had me at "Claywork dune-light."

Ah this is so great. Writing letters to each on Substack -- beautiful!

I have catching up to do.

Also, great photo from Terry (not Rebecca -- oops, sorry!). Looks kind of brutalist in architectural style.

edit: forgot to say "Yes, another old advert!" Please keep those coming. The guy at the bus stop looks strangely familiar.

Strangely familiar? He reminds me of Will Self. Great advert isn't it? 😂

Thanks. I was about to contact my MP.

I can barely type for laughing, Terry! What a great letter - I am honoured to receive it!

Highlights: haircut, cat brother, and the first reference to the wondrous beast the axolotl that I have yet seen in my nine-months-so-far inhabitation of Substack.

(Although I have met one in the flesh - not in its Central American habitat but in the Palm House at Kew Gardens. Cute as a button, as much as a squidgy ickle amphibian can be.)

LOL. Thanks, Rebecca. I've never met anyone who's met an axolotl. Come to think of it, I STILL haven't.

Everyone needs an axolotl in their life, Terry. Get onto it.
