This week has been characterised by anger for many people – but thankfully, the weekend is here, and it’s time to give yourself a break for five minutes.

Put politics aside and have a good, old laugh with our weekly roundup of funny and feel-good tweets.

Here are the snippets that have brought us joy in the past seven days.

1. The turtle who loves a tickle

2. The pain of decoding American recipes

Hard relate. We’ve spent more time decoding online recipes through Google in lockdown than we have actually making them.

3. A Teletubbies X-ray with a happy ending

Ever wondered what the Teletubbies looks like when x-rayed? Wonder no more.

When I was 6 years old, I was already so infatuated with medicine that I begged my pediatrician to take an x-ray of my Telletuby bc I thought he was broken. 20 yrs later, I found it...just as I embark on my own career. If you’ve ever wondered about the inner Poe, here it is! pic.twitter.com/b5sbjkY0X0

4. A PR stunt we can get on board with

BrewDog, take a bow. Hazy Durham IPA, we’re coming for you.

The people have spoken. So, we decided to actually do it.

5. The crazy town-mansion hybrid

We have so many questions. For starters, when can we visit?

My friend found a listing for an otherwise normal mcmansion that seemingly has a little.... fake... town (?) in the basement pic.twitter.com/0VFT6LDgoW

6. The Canterbury tail

Now you see him, now you don’t. Well, apart from his tail.

Watch the moment Leo the cat disappears under the Dean of Canterbury's robes as he gives a sermon! Footage from Canterbury Cathedral pic.twitter.com/CMk6Jmlz20

7. Dogs just wanna have fun

And by fun, we mean play with frisbees while you’re trying to cut the lawn.

This is Kevin. He puts his frisbee in the way so his human is forced to throw it for him. 14/10 downright genius tactics pic.twitter.com/NrBg6wNHGX
