"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy." -- from Hamlet, by William Shakespeare
I often do this with a dog (Henry makes an excellent Hamlet - see Comments) - but today you get a lightbox version.

“If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.” ― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
Poor boy looks petrified not sure what he thinks is going to happen.
Maybe it's what he hopes will happen?
Well if he thinks i am buying the drinks he can think again :-)
Oh thats not what he is thinking!! OK
Once again just so as you know we are not an item this is all just theater, an illusion to confuse the observer when in publicand that it does very well.
One of our regular foxes has the horrible condition of mange, as can be seen from this picture. It still has bright eyes and eats well (we see it daily), but untreated, the condition becomes serious and can cause death. My wife and I hate to see any animal, domestic or wild, suffer but what can you do to help such a creature...?
Well, fortunately you can obtain treatment from the National Fox Welfare Society www.nfws.org.uk/
who supply free treatment (although we have made a donation to them). The treatment supply arrived today. It is put out with food (honey sandwiches are best) which the foxes will eat but cats etc will leave alone. As this fox is one of the first visitors to the Wildlife Cafe each night we hope it will take the treated food and recover. I'll keep you posted and hopefully, in about a month, all will be well. Fingers crossed, eh?
Figure of Mr Bean who used to ride on the carousel at Treasure Island fairground.The fairground is wrecked due to the Severn bursting its banks during the winter storms.
This old tug, The Gary, has seen better days. It's been sitting in this little marina on Lake Guntersville for a long time. I chose to do this in sepia to convey a little of the age and dilapidation of this old workhorse.

A good LEGO friend of mine just happened to have a spare Kevin Hinkle minifigure, and decided to give it to me. The other personalised minifigures weren't too pleased, though.

The above poor-quality image was actually taken in 2004, as I was arriving on an early-morning flight into Heathrow. As we turned onto finals, I was disgusted to see the layer of smog and took this image, looking east over City Airport in the foreground, the Dartford Crossing mid-right and the Thames estuary beyond. It was not a bad day in terms of pollution!
Air pollution in London passed levels in Beijing this week (end of January 2017), with popular wood-burning stoves blamed for exacerbating the problem.
On Monday, 23 January 2017, Mayor Sadiq Khan issued the highest air pollution alert in London for the first time, and said on Tuesday that the capital’s ‘filthy air’ is now a ‘health crisis.’
Readings at 3 p.m. on Monday showed that air at locations in the capital were worse than in notoriously smoggy Beijing, hitting a peak 197 micrograms per cubic metre for particulate matter on the Air Quality Index. Pollution in the Chinese city only reached 190, which is still deemed ‘unhealthy.’
Although nitrogen dioxide levels in London rose higher than China in 2014, it is believed to be the first time particulate readings have exceeded those in the Far East.
Experts at King’s College London said the recent spell of unhealthy pollution was the worst since April 2011 in the capital and was being caused by cold, calm and settled conditions combined with ‘traffic pollution and air pollution from wood burning.’
Temperatures have fallen below zero overnight over the last few days, meaning householders are burning more fuel to keep warm. “This was the largest contribution from wood burning measured during the winter so far,” said a spokesman for King’s College.
Over the past few days, many parts of the capital have recorded double the legal limits of emissions. Some schools banned children from playing outdoors, and Public Health England warned people not to exercise outside.
The Mayor said the situation was becoming so toxic to children that hundreds of schools will now be audited to see whether gates and play areas can be moved away from busy roads.
‘No idling’ zones are likely to be implemented to prevent drivers leaving their engines running while waiting for children on the school run, while the most polluting vehicles may be banned entirely from driving up to entrances.
Schools will also be encouraged to plant hedges and bushes around their sites to provide barriers to block out fumes and children will be encouraged to walk and cycle to cut down on lifts.
