Watched Carrie, thought it was pretty decent. I couldn’t have Carrie’s powers though. My list of enemies for various small slights is so large I’d be spending the rest of my time exacting revenges, for example, on that guy who didn’t wave back when I let him in at a T junction.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

I was out with my 32 year old son on Friday who’s a periodic reader and at the bookshop he said “I’ve heard of this book about a pensioner going into space…” and before he could finish I’d picked a copy of OMW up, paid for it, thrust it into his hands and said “enjoy.”

From afar Haaland, sitting upon his throne of deflated footballs, will watch as his former City home diminishes and falls a thousand leagues, reduced to contesting the Oldham Sunday Pub League. King Haaland will slowly shake his head.

Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Once there, he may tell tales amongst his tribe of his travels, and the fall of the City empire, so no Haaland would ever repeat the mistakes of the past. Then, doning a hat made of undeclared gold and peacock feathers, he would become the King of Haaland.

Boabs @boabs.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
That Haaland seems like a nice bloke. While all this turmoil is going on I might sneak an offer in for him. If successful, we shall sit in a field and do the vking rowing thing and then I will release him into the wild so he may fly free, back to the home of the Haalands.

If I was Man City I’d change my name. So when the officials came knocking with punishment I’d be like “who us? No mate, we’re Brian Cloud Sky Blue…er…FC. Man City moved out years ago.”

The EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE saga has sold more than 1 million copies in English worldwide. To those who believed - the booktubers and tokkers, the booksellers and librarians, the tattoo-having zealots and the newcomers who just liked it and told a friend - thank you. To those who didn’t? 😘

I would 100% watch this. It’s such an fantastic tale. Why an original series like yours isn’t made instead of the endless rehashes like Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica etc is beyond me.

That was daily and every Sunday the steel bath would come out for a weekly bath in our tiny living room. Toilet was an outhouse. Sounds like the 1800s dunnit? Nope. This was recent (to me), the 70’s.

Currently having a new bathroom installed so for a couple of days I’ve been giving my self a jolly good flanneling at the kitchen sink and it’s taken me back to childhood memories of sitting on the draining board with my feet in the sink having my legs scrubbed by my nan.

For the first time ever I witnessed a phone snatcher being chased by the phone’s owner, who was catching up. This led to said thief dropping the phone in order to avoid a shoeing from his much bigger, faster, furious pursuer, who retrieved his phone. Felt like I was watching an episode of The Bill.

Return journey and the fox has been moved which is good because I was expecting a corvid led scene of carnage which would not have been pleasant on the eye. May you rest well and in dignity, young fox.

Saw a dead fox this morning. It was lying on a grass verge next to the pavement I was walking on. Just a yard from the road so I assume it got clipped by a car. It was unmarked and lying perfectly on its side. Recent demise too. Made me pretty sad for the rest of my walk to work.

18. Steal a JCB and drill little holes in the bucket to pinpoint the eclipse onto the ground. 19. Listen to Aerosmith singing “I don’t wanna close my eyes” for inspiration. And finally: 20. Build an Ironman type suit with Jarvis voice out of LEGO and fly up into the air to view.
