It's been a while since I published a Freaky Friday post, but we recently went to Milton Keynes Museum again and I had to share these beauties with you.
Don't have nightmares...

Freaky Friday: Shield Bug
I haven't done a Freaky Friday for a while. A quick search of my recent photographs unearthed this weird insect.
I found this brightly-coloured bug on my kitchen table when I was making my Easy Christmas Wreath.
In front of my children I'd say 'look at the pretty mini-beast'. Fortunately they weren't around to witness me recoil in horror and do a Google image search for bugs. As I'm not a huge fan of insects I didn't enjoy this activity, but I was curious. Apparently this is a shield bug. It may also be a stink bug.
I've never seen anything like it and it was in my house.
Isn't it beautiful / I feel itchy just looking at the photograph of it, urgh.*
*Delete as appropriate, depending on whether your children are watching!

Freaky Friday: on the Pier
I think these are supposed to be monkeys.
Lordy, they're freaky.
They're on one of the children's rides on St Anne's Pier on the Fylde coast.
These poorly painted creatures have never put off the boys. After a morning on the beach and fish and chips for lunch, they love to spent our hard-earned 50p's on the pier rides.
Even though we have now moved down South, we still visit the tiny seaside town with its noisy pier.
These rides are sedate and quite charming really. In a few years Presley and Cash won't want anything to do with Puffin' Billy or the freaky monkeys. I'm feeling nostalgic for them already.

Freaky Friday #2
I've got another Freaky Friday for you.
This time it's a freak of nature.
I'd never seen anything like it.
Did you know that if you let ivy grow up the trunk of a dead tree, the ivy takes over and makes a new tree? No, me neither.
In our new garden we have an ivy tree.
From a distance it looks like a 'normal' tree:
But when you get up close:
The branches and leaves are all ivy.
Freaky.

Freaky Friday
Would you like to see the freakiest pub toilets in London?
Of course you would.
First, let me set the scene.
Do you remember sharing toilet cubicles with girlfriends on drunken nights out. You take it in turns to pee while your friend holds the door. It's a reasonable arrangement, but one that wouldn't be entertained if you were both sober.
This, however, takes synchronised peeing to a whole new level.
Behold the double toilet cubicle...
I've never seen anything like it.
Perhaps it's a return to the Roman toilets, like these ones at the brilliant Puzzling World in Wanaka:
Yes, that is my husband, pretending to have a poo on our Honeymoon.
Freaky Friday. I think I may have started a new blog feature.
I've got a freak of nature for you next week. Bet you can't wait.
