Here’s the thing about #search #algorithms. I needed a gif of British children’s TV fave #BasilBrush (catchphrase following any punchline, “Boom boom!”)

So searching for “Basil Brush” gives me zero vintage kids TV puppets, just endless images of people doing #micdrops, sometimes but not always with the title BOOM

Someone start a petition to get #BasilBrush as a regular Co-presenter of #QI
The back & forth with him and Sandi Toksvig is telly gold!

A #cat intermission!

Meet Bruschetta - she's not my cat & she's not called Bruschetta, but spends most days in my #garden.

We have a 'difficult' relationship - I love her dearly & she eyes me with, at best, suspicion & at worst, disdain!! 🤣

Yesterday, when I was on a call, I could see an upright furry tail - just a tail - making its way towards me, #BasilBrush like, through the jasmine on top of the garden fence.

She emerged 20 minutes later, looking a little ruffled!!

Honestly #cats 🤣
