I continue to be completely cuted out by my Teahouse Fox. I swear I'll stop posting pictures when I catch her doing new things. Soon. Really.

Yum! Economist podcast and Irish radio
Glad to have discovered the Economist's weekly "The week ahead" podcast, a civilized way to get your news. They also offer a series of "Tea with The Economist" videos, in which they very literally have tea and a chat with interesting and relevant people.
