A creepy doll's head on a tomb in Chorlton graveyard
The suspect Manchester synagogue attacker. Who placed his bombs on his twig and berries.
Cheeky photo of a Starbucks ghost cookie I photographed. The placement of the cookie in the shelving obscures the lower detail such that the tip of a pumpkin stalk makes it look like the ghost has an erection. Yes. I know I need to grow up. And no, I shan't.
Ring necked parakeets in Chorlton Ees nature reserve. Hundreds of them live wild here despite not being native to the UK. On hot days like this, among the trees, you can close your eyes and imagine you're in the tropics.
My forced ventilation MacGyvering... a desk fan clamped to a hole cut in a sheet of insulation taped to the window frame of my kids' bedroom. Should bring in some cooler air!

An AI generated image of Smaug, the dragon from The Hobbit, in a cave under a school asleep on a treasure pile of red school cardigans and brightly coloured lost drinking water bottles... the stuff my kids keep coming home without!
Two spoons of different sizes, nesting.
Local barber advertises on Facebook after changing premises. His post is met with suspicion from a local crank, "Barbers shop popping up everywhere... Wots going !!?? Not normal" Barber replies that they have been open for 6 years and he's been cutting hair in the area for 15 years. Mrs Paranoia replies "just sayin cos it's true .. there like a pop up bar .. something going on !!"

Screenshot of an ebay listing for a pebble entitled "The second rarest stone in the world". The listing has no description of what mineral it is. Only that the seller has "never seen one like it before". It's a rock. A bargain at £15,000 plus £2.94 postage and packaging. Zooming in, the pebble appears to have some white hair on it. Unclear if this is pet hair. pocket lint, or it someone has rolled a desiccated turd on a barber shop's floor.
A photo if a delicious paratha and Gujarati greens for lunch!
