Endangered Mexican axolotl found under a bridge in the UK - BBC Sounds It's the first recorded sighting of one in the wild here.

I heard this story on the BBC 6 Music this morning and then struggled to find any reference to it online. I started to think I had hallucinated it.

Am now suspicious the whole thing is made up.

The wagon has signage on its side, including the words Timothy O’Brien and advertising text below. A horse is harnessed to the wagon on the right. The scene is set in a park-like area with trees and a body of water in the background.

I would quite happily take all the Buy A Stranger offers, but this is very selfish and completely unnecessary. But I have to admit, when I see offers going begging, I do get very twitchy

Yes. I want all the books

I DO NOT NEED ANY MORE BOOKS

I don't know if it's all the college talk with the teen, but I had a dream last night that I was back in boarding school and I am all discombobulated today.

IT'S WEDNESDAY!

It's #buyastrangerabook day!

The grooviest day of all.

I'll give out TWO books.

FOR FREE.

If you'd like one, let me know.

Also, if you'd like to #BuyAStrangerABook too, let me know.

It's a thing! Look.

I am also considering booking the whole week of the teen's prom off work because I do not think I will have the bandwidth to cope otherwise.

I have just realised I have to be out three nights in a row in one week in May.

Oh me, she doesn't phone

She's tested that love today.

Oh no, nothing is ever her fault

Today has been one of those days if I had a time machine I would be sorely tempted to go back to before I had a child.

The teen very helpfully showed me a text message from the college she has applied to for next year today.

At 4.50pm today.

The text message referred to an appointment at 4pm today.

We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

Someone should invent a ball that doesn't get all soggy and ick when the dog has been playing with it.
