It's another snippets post, dear reader...
- Baubles, bangles and beads news: Another day, another iconic auction - this time, it's the personal collection of Iris Apfel that's going under the hammer. Sign me up for a crate of outsize bead necklaces, some enormous glasses... and an ostrich!
- Green cock-up news: The carbon footprint of a long-delayed new "green" ferry will be far larger than the 31-year-old diesel ship that usually serves the route between the Scottish mainland and the island of Arran. Head will roll for that one, surely!
- Banana weirdness news: Residents on a Nottinghamshire road have been left perplexed as to why a mysterious plate of bananas keeps appearing on their street corner once a month.
- Curmudgeonly council news: Kensington & Chelsea Council has ordered a resident who painted a Mary Poppins mural on the wall of his Earl's Court roof terrace to remove it. Miserable sods.
- And, finally - Xmas trees are "not food" shocker: Belgium’s Federal Food Agency has issued a warning against eating Christmas trees after the city of Ghent recommended that people do so to cut back on waste.
And the weather? Bloody freezing! It was the coldest night in the UK for fifteen years last night. Every pot in the garden is frozen solid. Sigh.
