Inside the Disgusting, Improbable Birth of the Sewer Boys in 'Dicks: The Musical' The true stars of A24โ€™s riotous new musical comedy are two unsightly puppets.

No joke, I once watched โ€œDicks: The Musicalโ€ on a transatlantic flight ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Opposite side of the street with oncoming traffic, Iโ€™m afraid (โ€ฆ also, you deserve your downtime without being disturbed!)

Hopefully see you again at this yearโ€™s @darklandsfest.bsky.social though ๐Ÿฅฐ

Yup, thatโ€™s the one!

Except for the sore arm which lasted for a quite unconscionable length of time, the first shot was fine. This second one, mindโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Ugh - I got the second part of the Meningitis B inoculation yesterday.

The first part just gave me a sore arm for about a weekโ€ฆ

โ€ฆ this oneโ€™s made me feel really under the weather. Or Iโ€™ve managed to contract flu at the same time ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

(And Iโ€™ve got a sore arm)

A christmas card of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting by a christmas tree, currently being decorated by the tentacles of the otherwise unseen creature, The Thing In The Sink, which has now evidently migrated to the tree. Above them is the text, "Merry Christmas".

What was your first automobile?

1984 Talbot Horizon (โ€ฆ Car of the Year in 1976!), which was eventually confiscated by the local garage for being a death-trap due to the chassis having completely rusted through circa 1998 ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

(Picture not mine)

Apparently there are ~60 left on the road in the UK ๐Ÿ˜…
