I'll watch it if only for the vacant stare of that cat bottom left, or a cameo by Tudor Cat top left.

Went to the Christmas markets in Knutsford yesterday.

There was a stall selling cake slices so large that space and time bent round them and your pancreas would dissolve at the mere sight.

Home of Chorley cakes, hotpot, sauce, potted shrimp, the world's largest peardrop (Oswaldtwistle), boggarts, witches, @fleetwoodtown.bsky.social (Cod Army!), the centre of Great Britain (Dunsop Bridge), the Trough of Bowland and a whole lot more.

Happy Lancashire Day.

Mural titled 'Our Reflections' by Eric Okdeh. Depicts a girl looking into a pool at night with the northern lights and moon overhead. The reflection in the pool is of a boy in another part of the world with buildings behind him and the sun overhead.

People are going in hard on the use of the word 'nibbles' in Christmas invites this year.

Not quite as hard as me hitting the decline button as a result, but still.
