Fun little pop-up and illustration I worked on for Mother's Day!

This is a sickness.

Toast on the floor. Jam side down.

SO WHO'S THE NOOB NOW?

Now I know all these things.

How to turn the electricity back on.

If the engineer came out to fix that tomorrow, he would have thought I was a moron.

BUT...

How to change my smoke detector batteries.

I have learned three very basic things about house maintenance in the last three months.
How to turn the bath temperature up from underneath (that was an embarrassment as a neighbour showed me in under three minutes).

Power went out downstairs. Probably the kettle's fault.
I fiddled around and managed to cut ALL the electricity.
Called FIVE PEOPLE until British Gas could book us an engineer... but for tomorrow.
That's when I tried again and realised I just wasn't flicking the RCD switch hard enough.

WHAT A NOOB.

Back up to my secret spot today! #DigiCam #DigiCamPhotography

I thought I could feel someone looking at me...

There were plenty more beneath this, too. 🍰

Quality walk homeage tonight.

I do!
"Remember this rhyme
And say it all the time
It's the rhyme to remember your birthday,
Dum-dum"

I always use this simple rhyme to remember the number of days in March:
"Doop-de-doo
Twiddly-blurst
My name is Hugh
And my birthday is on March 31st"
It scans terribly, but it does the trick.

Photos from today's Leeds/Methley/Wakefield walk.

I think that's the one!

Introduced our daughter to Jet Lag the Game. The Britain one was great! Here's my drawing of the guys from a couple of years ago:

This was a genuine challenge.

Almost:
Swans!

Casual Thursday morning walk...

From me in this week's Beano!
Yeti has an identity crisis in Betty & The Yeti (with dinosaur puzzles)!
James tries to win a Laboohoo toy (art by Nick Brennan!
And in Har Har's Joke Shop, Smiffy has a look through the lost property box, with art from @cowgirlem.bsky.social!

I know a trap when I see one...

On an unrelated note, I had some really weird tasting cheese today.

All the McDonald's Friends figurines.

Not gonna lie, getting that final Monica was absolutely euphoric!

Alugh Benaine.
