Shoot, we missed it
Hastings is the last town in Britain to celebrate Catterning and Clemmening. It was on November 28. It’s where a man dressed as a blacksmith and woman depicting Saint Catherine walk around the town and…pass. No idea. Ask for apples? Read it at the link.
The Bonfire Society has a lot to answer for.
Have I ever mentioned that Hastings is my family seat? It’s where at least one branch of the family was said to hail from. It’s even a family name.
I don’t know how to tell them it’s not a very nice town.

Border Agents Find Sedated Parakeets Hidden in Man’s Underwear at Entry
Title says it all. Though, looking at the picture, I’m pretty sure those are parrots.
I gave the headline as a prompt to MidJourney and it refused the commission until I changed “underwear” to “trousers”. It really is like someone’s maiden aunt.
