The yellow wagtail, obvious by the large amount of grey plumage...

A former Victorian(?) granary with a lot of ivy growing over parts of it, and several external doors at heights where you really hope they don't open.
The gloomy winter months has meant that things have been sparse on the DoD-spotting front. A nice day and a site visit turned up this fine specimen of multiple doomery in Gloucester Road, Malmesbury.

Email from Google stating the clothing removing app violates their policies.
On a positive note, at least Google took action when I reported it.

A screenshot of an ad from YouTube for an app that suggests it can 'undress' images.
Considering the furore over Grok's ability to 'undress' images I'm astounded (but probably shouldn't be surprised) that apps are being promoted on Youtube that do the same thing.

Part of email from BBC Upload advising that my short story 'Just Desserts' is being played on the Adam Crowther show tomorrow (Thursday 8th Jan).
More of the email stating when the show can be heard and on what stations.
Whoop! Whoop! More airtime for team Paradise. Many thanks to Jessica Bone, Michael Snook, Matilda Snook, and Alex Brunsdon for getting the production together. Massive thanks to BBC Upload for putting our little show out onto the airwaves.
Remember; if we can do it then so can you.
Close up of evil duck
Took a photo of some widgeon at Christchurch years ago. Noticed later that one appeared to be shooting me a look of pure evil.

Lastest episode of The Other Side Of Paradise podcast is available. It involves some fictional fat-shaming...sorry about that.

Religious banner of some holy chap either pushing an arrow into, or pulling it out of what looks like a fawn that he is cradling.
"Look, stop wriggling. You might feel a bit of a prick..."
"I might feel a bit of a prick? I feel a lot bloody worse than that, mate. I've got a feckin' arrow stuck in my back."
A small table on which sits a podmic with pop filter and a sound blocker barrier behind, and a small laptop and headphones. In the background it is clearly a spare bedroom with a cat tower visible on the left, because that's the kind of high-tech, professional operation I run.
Another recording session? Who is the guest vocal talent this time?
Is it Sarge? No! Rosemary the telephone operator? No way man! Henry the mild mannered janitor? Could be...
Or it could be Roz Ambler...
Have a few minutes to lend me your ears? Have a listen to Wendy Withers perform my monologue '2B Or Not 2B', available on most podcast players and via YouTube.

My favourite film, and my go-to when the outside world seems absurdly stupid. Which is quite frequent these days.

Merry Christmas one and all. And if you haven't heard it yet, today is the ideal day to gather round as a family, each with a glass of their favourite tipple, listen in, and be traumatised for the rest of the festive season.

When cooking a 'panzerschiffe', one should be careful not to set the temperature too high, else it will be overcooked, burnt, and spoiled.
