I have good news and bad news about my friend Schrödinger's Cat...

What looks like a nuclear explosion but is just a stubble fire.

GOTCHA!
Who knew there “used” to be a military asset just North of Waimate.

I am 76 and over 24 hours could do this easily, piece of piss, no problem.
Show me the money!

For lent this year I'm giving up napping. I shall still be sleeping, kipping and snoozing though.

Apparently the correct term is flipper. Apologies.

Happy pancake day! Nigel Farage is a tosser.

Does anyone sell subatomic sized violins?

So cute, though Pukeko chicks of the same age would give them a good run.
They look like long legged black birds!

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

Denmark responds

A giant yellow sign on the side of the road announces “YOU ARE ENTERING A FRUIT FLY CONTROLLED AREA” and below that in smaller letters “Make sure you know the rules.”

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

When you are hot, you really are hot

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Both my wife and I come from farming families so the whole thing of holidays at the Beach or batch just passed us by.
Meanwhile all the people still working or at home have unlimited time to listen to the radio…🤷‍♂️

Agree, though when you run out of fruit mince, fresh raspberry jam tarts are not a bad substitute.

Just turn round and go home eh.

Hubble Space Telescope images of the dust belt around the bright star Fomalhaut (obscured at center) showing the locations of bright spots detected in multiple images from 2004 to 2013 (cs1) and in two images in 2023 and 2024 (cs2). In the insets, dust cloud cs1, imaged in 2012, is pictured as is dust cloud cs2, imaged in 2023. Astronomers now think these were caused by collisions of large objects that produced a dust cloud that reflects starlight.

Asteroid collisions spotted around another star!

Twice over the past two decades, the Hubble telescope saw new dust clouds around the star Fomalhaut. They're probably places where large rocks crashed into each other in a young, forming planetary system. 🧪🔭

Cartoon of the century!

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me: FIVE GOLD RINGS, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. Someone check my litter tray, I think I ate some rings by mistake...

No 4 looks good to me but it is really up to you for the one that expresses his personality best.

Red asparagus

Asparagus crop starting to peak.
The red an are Sweet Purple grown from seed and now 3 or 4 years down the road.
Definitely a different taste to the green varieties….nice though.

You don’t seem ready for the twenty first century Malcolm, and we are quarter way through.

Impressive, I reckon I could overcome my dislike of the flight to the UK to view that.

My Primary School teacher wife is so against promoting on ability beyond their age group and my sister who was pushed two years forward definitely agree 👍
