@mikeo-g.bsky.social Thought of some more; The Wicker Man (old one, obvs), Get Out, Midsommar (that was GREAT, and contained probably the best visual representation of hallucinogens I think I’ve seen), The Exorcist, The Omen (loved that too), Damian - Omen 2, The Final Conflict. I think that’s it.

Pinch-punch! It’s October which rings the changing of my profile pic to something seasonally spooktacular (yes, I too am ashamed that I used that word). Thanks once more to @vintagebintage.bsky.social for providing it.

I’ve been off sick today. Took a swig of night nurse first thing and am just coming round again. Will have another glug in a bit. It’s great stuff.

Worthing today. It’s not quite Bloomfield Road but it’s nice to be out watching a game.
Worthing (in red) just taking a free kick against Halifax (in yellow). Narrowly clipped the crossbar for those interested.

Oh Makita we will never know…
A box for my Makita drill. 

Whenever this comes out I ALWAYS have Elton John’s classic Cold War love song playing in my head.

This morning I happened upon this; The National Covid Memorial Wall. It stopped me in my tracks. I got quite choked up reading some of the dedications. Memories. Theirs and mine. If you ever find yourself across the river from the Houses of Parliament, take some time, stop, remember.
A sign that reads:

“The National Covid
Memorial Wall
created by bereaved families

The hearts on this wall are in The hearts on this wall are in memory of our fellow citizens who have died since March 2020 with Covid-19 on their death certificates.
Every heart represents a person who was loved.
The wall belongs to us all, and we all have to share it. If you want to add an inscription to the wall in memory of someone whose life was lost to Covid-19, please abide by the original principles:
Please only take one heart for each person
Find a freshly-painted heart and make your dedication
Hearts should be similar in size and no larger than an adult hand
The Friends of the Wall are a group of bereaved volunteers who maintain the memorial by removing grathti, repeated inscriptions and re-painting fading hearts. All efforts are being made to maintain original dedications.
We can be contacted on Twitter at @CovidMemorialUK. Please get in touch if you would like to volunteer. Donations for the upkeep of this memorial can be made at nationalcovidmemorialwall.org”The National Covid Memorial Wall.

I understand that people are buying RNLI Christmas cards in order to add money to all the donations which are flooding in.
Now it appears that some are planning to buy them and send them to Reform's free post address.
Really, if you did that, it would cost them an awful lot of money.
But people want to know if such an address exists.
It does.

When I returned from Sicily I dusted off the stove top, and on days, like today, when I’m not working, I use it. It *is* better.

Just finished reading this. Quite the read. I’d recommend it, even if you’ve only a passing interest in the KLF (‘cause it’s kind of but not really about them).
A yellow book called “The KLF, chaos, magic and the band who burned a million pounds” by John Higgs.

Morning all. Here’s a question for you coffee lovers out there… Being on holiday (humble brag, yes, yes) I’m using a stove top for the first time in ages (I’m an Aeropress nobed at home), and it’s lovely. So, my question is; Is a stovetop genuinely better, or is it the fact that I’m on holiday?
A lovely cup of coffee.

In a shop earlier and saw this as an inflatable! Why would you want this??? Surely even @mindlesmandles.bsky.social or @capestells.bsky.social wouldn’t buy this??
An inflatable shark. With dead eyes, like a dolls eyes.

Booked accommodation in Rome, pushed the boat out cause it’s close to stuff, then got an email from the hotel saying that they don’t serve breakfast, despite it saying on Trivago that it did! Phoned the hotel and they said it was a problem with the booking site, not them. AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH.
