Welcome to a Flying Mammals on Friday - it's Bat Appreciation Day! 🦇

April 17, 2026

The greater mouse-eared bat, seen here in Sussex, UK

Good morganite, friends. A very happy Friday to you all! It's time to grab your cup of tea or coffee and enjoy some friendly conversation with one another.

This week, Friday is going to fly by like a....bat?!! Yep, you read that right. A bat! Bats have always been welcome in FNB's belfry, and while some of them may be rather creepy-looking, others are kinda cute! They're all fascinating though, being the only mammals capable of genuine flight and having incomparable echo-location abilities, and have inspired all kinds of characters from historic myths to pop culture heroes. So let's see some leather-winged wonders, whether in the real world or in history, or even very batty humour! 🤔🦇🧛‍♂️🙀😉😄😺 There's no obligation to post images, the only thing we hope you do is have fun.

Welcome to a Freaky Fursday! 😮

April 16, 2026

Good morganite, friends. A very happy Thursday to you all! It's time to grab your cup of tea or coffee and enjoy some friendly conversation with one another.

This Thursday, we're going to see all kinds of outlandish things that are on the freaky side of reality!! They might be offbeat animals that are very different to what we may expect to see, or perhaps they are 'normal' but have unusual or even outright weird colouration. Maybe you know of a peculiar type of plant, or perhaps you have some other kind of bizarre sight you could share to freak us out!! 🤔😮😱😉🤭😄😺 There's no obligation to post images, the only thing we hope you do is have fun.

Welcome to Wings Over Wednesday! 🐦

April 15, 2026

Good morganite, friends. A very happy Wednesday to you all! It's time to grab your cup of tea or coffee and enjoy some friendly conversation with one another.

Don't get in a flap....because this week, we're literally going to just wing it through our Wednesday!! All kinds of critters have wings, and between them, they can be seen in all parts of the world, even if just flying over on their migration to seasonal feeding or breeding grounds. So today, we're looking for anything that has wings of any size or functionability, from the biggest raptors to the tiniest insects, and any of the other many winged wonders that fall between!! 🦅🦇🐝🦋🐞🦟🐧😺 There's no obligation to post images, the only thing we hope you do is have fun.

Welcome to a Hoof and Hound Tuesday - it's Kieran's Birthday! 🐎🐕🥳

April 14, 2026

Good morganite, friends. A very happy Tuesday to you all! It's time to grab your cup of tea or coffee and enjoy some friendly conversation with one another.

Two of the most majestic and handsome animals in our world, horses and wolves, just happen to be Kieran's favourites!! 🐴🐺 They're both animals who are very successful in the wild in their chosen habitats, but have also been domesticated to become two of Mankind's most valued friends. So today, to help Kieran celebrate his 58th birthday, let's look at different perspectives of these wonderful creatures, from running wild in Nature, to the many breeds of each that share our lives now, including fun memes and gifs of some less than serious moments!! 🐎🐕🤭😄🎂🥂🎉🥳😺 There's no obligation to post images, the only thing we hope you do is have fun.

Welcome to a Maximum Monday! 😉😃

April 13, 2026

Good morganite, friends. A very happy Monday to you all! It's time to grab your cup of tea or coffee and enjoy some friendly conversation with one another.

Let's take the start of the new week to the max with all kinds of high-level hijinks!! That means it's time to check out who's making a real effort, perhaps pushing their luck a little far, making the most mess, showing the greatest skill, and of course, causing maximum mayhem....so....let's see who is generally taking things to the limit, whatever they may be doing! 😃🤔😲🤯🤭😄😺 There's no obligation to post images, the only thing we hope you do is have fun.

Welcome to a Sweet Sunday! ☺️

April 12, 2026

Good morganite, friends. A very happy Sunday to you all! It's time to grab your cup of tea or coffee and enjoy some friendly conversation with one another.

Well, last Sunday was very 'sweet' because it was the day the Easter Bunny made his deliveries....and this Sunday is going to be full of sweet stuff too, but the calorie-free kind of sweetness!! Today, let's see our charming furry friends getting up to all kinds of adorable antics, so we can all share some joyful oohs and awwws over their precious behaviour! 😃😘☺️😄😺 There's no obligation to post images, the only thing we hope you do is have fun.

Welcome to a Cartoon and Comic Caturday! 🤣

April 11, 2026

Good morganite, friends. A very happy Saturday to you all! It's time to grab your cup of tea or coffee and enjoy some friendly conversation with one another.

I think cartoons and comics are something that we all love as children....and hopefully never, ever get too old or serious to still be able to enjoy them!! So today, let's start our weekend with some chuckles as we share lots of cartoons and comic strips, whether from favourite creators or just something you've found online that tickled your funny bone!! 🤭😄😂🤣😺 There's no obligation to post images, the only thing we hope you do is have fun.
