One day, Kev invented this fantastic recipe for a completely new dish. Let’s call it Ratatouille. It was incredibly popular, but it ...

Hi Howard!

There are links to all the books etc in The Library!

I’ve got a very complex system in place designed to make sure that I never have to actually, you know, write something. Firstly, I make sure I’ve got several projects on the go so that I divide what little energy I have very thinly, and guarantee that in the rare occasions I’m actually typing words ...

I've done some digging and found out that our good friend is called... Tell the story properly! Yes, of course. Sorry! Back in 2009 I was on holiday in Dallas and visited Fort Worth Zoo.

We're getting by. Our state is starting to reopen some things, even though there are still over 100 deaths a day.

That would be a lovely gift!

A wonderful video! Thank you for sharing.

Of course, our chimp friend doesn't have a name...

It's World Chimpanzee Day! Or, NiaD Mascot Day, if you prefer! We've been running the event since 2011, which means that our mascot friend has been staring at that laptop for 9 years! I hope s/he is making some progress...



HAPPY NIAD MASCOT DAY!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooom!

A very happy birthday to you! Hope you’re having a lovely day! iii
