After a very early start this morning courtesy of my Mam having a minor fall (she's recovered and doing very well), lunch will be made happier by a carrot that looks like a rabbit.

Spotted this place on my #BusCommute home. Wonder what the menu's like? White bread only I imagine, and all their offerings are unpalatable. #satire

Graham Nash tonight defied every single one of his eighty-three years. Still passionate about his music, still energised, still angry. If you get a chance to see him, do it.

@rhyskamjones.bsky.social Found it. Apologies for quality of the photo but this was nearly 20 years ago (so camera not as advanced as now), also the museum was quite dimly lit, & of course flash couldn't be used. Not an exact copy of the dragon, but too close for my liking.
