Holiday tips

On holiday in Suffolk? Lovely! Don't forget to look out if you're in the Beccles area, where on this day every year three ratcatchers playing musical instruments are supposed to reappear from the maw of hell. One for the album.

Back from deepest Cornwall, which among other things has incredibly elegant gravestones:

As well as some pretty crazy stained glass:

PS Apologies to anyone who's tried to comment recently: I had to turn them off while I was away due to a flood of robot opinions. I'll put them back on now but might have to switch them off again if the same thing happens...

They Step on Ya! Walk on Ya!

Stop work, it's Monday afternoon cartoon time (M.A.C.T.), which I believe is now official government policy. What could be more suitable for a rainy Monday than a Tex Avery cartoon about a misanthropic cat? Keep watching for the freaky moon creatures at the end. This version seems to have French subtitles, which makes it also educational.
