Argh! Little folk! Everywhere!
It’s like a munchkin convention around here today. All in a good cause, though.

Kidman reveals his deep criminal past…
Or, in other words, I got my first parking fine today. For parking in a loading zone while buying a loaf of bread. Expensive loaf, that.

Feeling good
I’m in the rare position of being able to pat myself on the back today. You should try it — it’s a good stretching exercise.

Fat Cat isn't just for children any more…
I think I’ve worked out why Lita (one of our three cats) isn’t as lithe as she once was. Behold — in the wise words of the Simpsons Sea Captain “‘Tis no cat, ’tis a remorseless eating machine, Arr.”

I often wondered what the end of civilisation would look like…
Apparently it’s going to look something like this. Can I just say aargh now and be done with it?
