I usually add photos to my blog posts, which are always owned by me, or Mr.R. Having rambled on for far longer than I intended, my eyes are now aching and as I don't own any photos relating to the 'news' stories I've mentioned I would usually do a quick doodle of them, but my poor eyes deserve a much needed rest.

I'm not sure why I've started reading more news over the last few days. Maybe subconsciously I'm hoping to find some good or funny news? It would make a pleasant change from the usual, that's for sure.
Have you seen or read any good, or funny news lately?
