Squirrels occupy Cheshire
13 December 2016
Things have been pretty quiet at MFP Blogs this year: Edwin Drood has been on an extended sabbatical since July, and the Cheshire Cat hasn't appeared at all - not so much as a grin in sight.
Luckily, a gang of squirrels have come to the rescue. Silke Haist has kindly contributed some of her photos of Berlin wildlife in the form of irresistible fluffy red rodents.
We invited the stars of the show to the MFP HQ for the launch of the December edition of The Cheshire Cat Blog. Big mistake! The wee pests have taken over the place and refuse to leave. The office furniture is scratched to bits, the air is full of squirrely screeching and Chipmunks music, and filing cabinets and desk drawers have been requisitioned as nests and hoarding places. There'll be hell to pay when they find out that we've run out of nuts.

Even more people on the planet
23 July 2016 - updated 12 December 2016
Back in November 2011 we announced the start of the My Favourite Planet People section, MFP People, with brief profiles and images of well-known personalities, historical, fictional and mythical, who appear in articles on this website. This, the Editor told the over-worked staff, would save the effort of having to explain who they were every time their names were mentioned.
Naturally, we soon discovered that this actually meant a lot more work rather than less: each profile has to be researched, written, illustrated, sorted, programmed, linked... What a palaver!
Nevertheless, the manacled menials of our Factual Verification Department (a.k.a. Room 101) have finally returned several of these profiles to the Editor as fit for publication. There are now 25 People profiles online, with another 80 in the editoral pipeline (i.e. in a cupboard somewhere).
And, as if all that was not toil-and-tears enough, we have also begun yet another new work-in-progress: a detailed list of Ancient Greek Artists.

Bentley does it
6 July 2016
For all those of us gushy romantics who believed that Edwin Drood and Miranda were inseparable, it will come as a great kick in the corduroy pants to learn that he is now smitten with a certain Aja. Who she, we may well ask, and what has she to do with the mysterious illness Drood calls "the Bentley Decimation Syndrome", which appears to have led to the disappearance of over 2000 British luxury automobiles?
