Chester Zoo is pretty good actually.

What a copper and what a man.

Some heroes wear capes — Chief Aaron Edwards wears blue.

I think I just upskirted a lemur.

The Ruddy Shelducke a bird so Northern I presume @HiddenYorkshire knows her personally.

Church Parade at Chester Cathedral today. Which sported some rather extraordinary mosaics.

Praise be!

I let my young lady (aged 9 going on 19) loose with some AK paint markers on a Dungeons & Lasers Giantess. We’ve a limited palette of colours, but she’s quite pleased with them. I thought that they weren’t bad, but I think I’ll stick with a brush for now.

Spot of light reading last night. This is a beautiful book, based on the research that the Mollo’s did for the film “The Charge of the Light Brigade. Bryan Fosten’s plates are superb. I’ve read a fair bit on the period, but this is a really pleasurable read. #books #History

Sometimes the nice lady in the shop says; “Well if you like that one dear, I have a few more. I’ll do you a deal if you want the lot.” Would have been rude not to. Am I right @theknightirish ? #books #Reading

More new snoozes.

Biiiiiiig yaaaaaawn.

New enclosure - who dis?

As a Dubliner I often have to remind myself how good @DublinZoo is. Truly a world class institution.

This evening I am mainly prepping #Heroquest men at arms.

I didn’t realise it was possible to love my son more than I already do. But this morning he asked if something was “…a samurai sword or a proper sword like a knights…” Pictured (left) Katana (Right) Proper sword - like a knights.

Most of you are probably too young to remember Fighting Fantasy books. But these (stolen from FB and now I can’t find the original creator) made me laugh out loud.

Day 5 of what’s the most Old Testament name I can get past Starbucks. Also McDonalds - what the hell? How are you out of tea?!

Excellent Church parade with the Kinch Light Border Horse at Candlemas yesterday. Though the Cornet LadyBaby was skeptical of the benefits of handing her brother a naked flame. “Is this really a good idea?”
