On my walk to work this morning, I noticed the rather unpleasant sight of a dead squirrel on the side of the road. Its head had been crushed into the pavement, while one side of its body had burst open, leaving the lungs, liver and various other bodily organs exposed. A long intestine lay strung from the corpse. I wanted to collect the carcass and leave it in somebodies lunchbox for a hilarious practical joke, but got too freaked out when I saw the blood. I didn’t even take a photo. What a scardy cat I am. What did amuse me was, just before crossing the road where the squirrel lay, a van pulled up right in front of it. A man got out, before putting up a sign labelled “Diversion” with an arrow pointing right, around the animal. I laughed. You probably had to be there.
When I walked home, the sign was still there and so was the squirrel. It looked smellier than eight hours earlier and had lots of flies buzzing around it. Again, I chickened out of taking a photo, in case anyone saw me and thought I was a weirdo. If you were after something filthy to brighten up your Monday night, sorry to disappoint you. Instead, I’ll post something equally disturbing for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

- Mysterious Bird
This blog post title sounds like the name of a song, should Peter Andre ever collaborate with garage band, The Streets...
... because of Mysterious Girl and how Mike Skinner - front man of The Streets - seems to refer to all women as "birds" (maybe) ... get it? Forget it.
Anyway, you'll be pleased to know that there... - Bird Watching
We have seen another feathered friend in our garden.
Claire managed to snap a photo using her mobile phone.
The bird looks to be juvenile, but I have been unable to work out what breed it actually is.
I discussed what it could possibly be with family. I also posted the photo on a web forum for bird... - Bin Juice
Our friend, the pigeon is back! Claire took this wonderful video of him/her having a drink. All that is missing is David Attenborough's dulcet tones. ...
- Ranting And Raving
There was an illegal rave in Bath last night.
Judging by the reaction of local residents on social media, this was undoubtedly the biggest event to take place here since Asterix visited the City in 50 BC.
Unsurprisingly, the vast majority have been condemning the rave, with any excitement the result of outrage and not illegal drugs... - Anniversary 2020
Over 12 years ago, Claire and I entered into a relationship together which would change our lives forever. Five years ago today, we tied the knot, becoming Mr and Mrs Kitson, in what remains by far the happiest day of my life

About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
