The Met Office has issued a full apology. ๐คฃ
Yeesh, imagine if I'd actually said something controversial!

Yeah, it was completely misinterpreted. Like, who GENUINELY wants YouTube to autoplay the Thursday Feb 17th 2022 forecast?
Also, people reply as if I can't fucking see! ๐
If you read the comments under any Met Office YouTube video, their watchers aren't the brightest buttons, to be honest.
Mostly patronising, older men making creepy comments about the dress of the female presenters, or people moaning...
People really have to contort themselves to get wound up about even the most innocuous posts.
Made a gentle observation that was about the YouTube algorithm, then got ratioed by The Met Office on Threads, which was all good fun at first...
Until I awoke to randos taking the piss out of my name and suggesting I was somehow being miserable about The Met Office! UGH.
That's fine. I didn't want to sleep tonight, anyway.
My hand, holding a can of Dr Pepper Cherry Crush aloft in front of some pink cherry blossom trees. Cherry overload.
STOP.
Cherry time.
Sometimes, you get an idea for a comic script at 7:50am on a Sunday while your eyes are still closed. Not only that, but it's a really good one! A classic, even! ๐
I went on one of those walks today that had a bit of everything!
๐ท Olympus Pen E-P1
Same route, different day.
๐ท Olympus E-P1 and SH-1
Went in search of cherry blossom this evening.
Found some. Got a couple of blisters. Saw a cat. You know.

A photo taken every day in 2026 with the Kodak Charmera. Week 15:
A handful of my caricatures on Moonpig...
After our anniversary lunch, I told my wife I wanted a Chief Wiggum from this machine...
๐ท Sony Cyber-shot P200
They said, "Oh... We'll have to take a look at it..."
Didn't fill me with confidence.
I went to the garden centre for some stones and a bird was literally nesting amongst the bags!
A can of Pepsi Max and a can of Diet Coke on the car dashboard.
Despite our differences, we are celebrating 17 years of marriage today!
Fanks!
It's that kind of relentless noise that is inescapable. Even in-between each blast, there's no relief, because you know it's coming back in about 4 seconds.
Constantly on edge.
Every spring.
My springtimes are soundtracked by my noisy neighbours apparently jet-washing their entire life for 3 months solid.
Fun office game:
Whistle the theme tune to Ground Force and watch about three people going, "Oh! OH! What IS that?!!"
Wham!
Drawn in 2021. Probably.
