Yeah, but I bet there will be a better exhibition on at Elysium gallery. It's on high street, not far from the station. Volcano is sometimes worth a look, too.

Have now watched the film Wreck It Ralph (which is excellent) but I don't think Vanellope is a good name for a pig. Maybe Q-bert is?

A lilac and ginger guinea pig with red eyes. In guinea pig land lilac is a kind of grey/beige. She's smaller and is contemplating freaking out more.

Look at my new guinea pigs! The spotty one is Wreck-It Ralph, the other hasn't got a name yet and is freaked out by everything at the moment.

Tatws, who I've had for a couple of years, decided she didn't like anyone, so she now has a granny flat attached to the main one.

To be fair, we never had burglars.

My little brother invented a lego trap in case of burglars. He left it on the window sill with a note that said "Burglar press here". When they did, they would be hit in the face by a low velocity 2x1 lego.

Dreamt I was shaking a measuring tape like a magic eight ball. Everyone laughed. Was trying to quickly work out what the funniest length would be to get a second laugh.

New material writing is going well guys.

In the very olden days economic wars were waged over dyes. Your average person would have killed for something in a pale green.

Those guys are in the afterlife watching 1999 #TOTP yelling at so many people who voluntarily wear beige

It's a lungfish. Imagine a weird long fish that's had it's lips done, so it's somewhere between a pout and a puppy face. It's fins are definitely on their way to being legs, evolutionarily.

Taskmaster thought: I know its Alex that says it, but Greg used to be a teacher and as an ex-lecturer I often found myself frustratedly saying some version of "all the information is in the brief!"

Screenshot from BBC news. The headline is the not at all portentious "Blood rain and fiery sunsets as Saharan dust sweeps UK." on the right another headline reads "Full worm and blood moon shines in tne night sky".

My guinea pig is off to meet new friends today. There's a non zero chance she'll come back with a guinea pig called Tony :)

I've heard that if you're audhd and start adhd meds, sometimes the au bit comes out more. Not sure if it's true but I'm sure that eventually *one* of these excel spreadsheets I've been making will have an answer.

Tatws (most nervous of all guinea pigs) actually accepted and ate food from me while I held her! The power of cucumber
