Hug a lumberjack on the Moon

 

This makes me feel old. Newsround just turned fifty. How did that happen? 

Merry Christmas 🎅🏿

 

Or should I say Nadolig Llawen?

😸🦇🐢🐑 I wonder what's on the menu?

 They didn't have anything listed in the window.

When a big piece pie hits you in the eye ...

 

... then it has got to be Pie in the Face Day. Or you could try to duck.

Beautiful Day, but frankly absurd

It is Beautiful Day, Absurdity Day, and Peanut Butter Fudge Day. Other days may be available. Only 35 days to Christmas. 

I heard a rumour that it's Sadie Hawkins Day

Today is World Kindness Day, though since tomorrow is Remembrance Sunday there's ample proof that isn't always at the front of folk's minds. It is also Start a Rumour Day and Sadie Hawkins Day (which will do just that). So, on yer marks, get set, go ...

🎶 Have a Saxy Saturday 🎷🎷🎷

 

It is Saxaphone Day. And don't forget to blow up that Pumpkin! 🎃  

👻 Before the Curse of the 23-hour Day 🎃

 

Bill and Ben were never like this! Is this the sacrifice the Great Pumpkin demands for Halloween? Last week there was a strange fluid emanating from the monster pumpkins at work. I wonder what's was under all those golden balls? 

Got any plans for Nos Galan Gaeaf or Samhain? 

Saturday Chat

Spoken to any good lampposts lately? Ours are getting chatty.

Saturday chinwag

The other month a little black kitten with red collar took a peek into the storeroom at work. Then she ran away when she saw I had spotted her. So cute. Her name is Betty and she sometimes follows her owner to the shops. Lots of covert surveillance of what the humans get up to. Come in and say hello Betty.

Saturday Open Thread

 

This week's work has involved Christmas puddings, mince pies and seasonal sweets. And frozen chickens. The build up to Christmas has started, though I guess some folk are waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive. It's Peanuts Day, sso his herald is just round the corner.

🍷 Speak Kind Words to the Bats 🦇

 Welcome to Speak Kind Words Day and International Bat Night. So caped crusaders, how are you today?

Saturday Honey Pot 🍯 🐝🐝🐝

Welcome to World Honey Bee Day. Hopefully sting free.

Dragon though Saturday 🐲

Like a cat, the dragon waits silently for its prey.

Glug some Gog Grog this Saturday

It's Spring Astronomy Day and apparently the Moon and Mars will be at their closest point this year tonight. Here's hoping for clear skies. Also World Whiskey Day, though more importantly the first whisky from North Wales for over 120 years goes on sale this week.  Also Penderyn are getting excited about their new distillery in Llandudno. There is another company getting in on the whisky act round here. 

Lost Saturday Bridges to a Great Escape

We should be getting the last of the election results today, including the London Mayor. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly will be revealed. Debating if I can get to the dam without being drenched. Probably not if the forecast is correct.  As long as that rocket doesn't fall on your head, do you have any hills to climb this weekend?

Have a belting Beltane, Batman!

It's Batman Day. Does that mean it is a Utility Beltane? Blessed be.

The Bat And The Cat Sat(urday) On The Mat With A Hat

 Come in and hang out! It is International Bat Appreciation Day. Not sure Cousin George would approve after meeting a bat-poop bacterial fueled flesh-eating demise. It is also National Haiku Poetry Day, though C'estLaVie will have that covered later. Bat poems away? 

Don't despair, it's Saturday

Happy Cheddar Day! Fancy a 40lb block of cheese? It's Global Movie Day as well. Got any decent flicks lined up?

What ice cream did your cat have for breakfast?

Saturday already?

Pour yourself a Pisco Sour to go with that breakfast bowl of ice cream or frozen yoghurt (don't forget to cover it in Canadian Maple Syrup) which I hope you are eating with chopsticks. Today is all those days and more.
