Well, Goodnight all. And what have I been using the last hours of Sunday over? #Hookland family trees, for my envisionings of the County at least. I may yet get beyond short word bursts in the dark...

A hand-drawn, fictitious, set of family trees, the earliest date being circa 1890, the newest 1969. All very geeky & creative. You may be better avoiding it entirely...

Not really sure I'd trust anything this courier might bring me, to be honest....

#GoodMorning! Welcome Week continues, & I, suitably caffeinated, engage in holy loitering & random conversations with familiar staff & students, new & returning. Not yet trammelled by necessary routines, & with newcomers still willing to ask for & accept help, it's a very good time to be a Chaplain!

On a dark grey table sit a coffee cup, some flyers, a Pop-Up banner, proclaiming "Chaplain available for Chat", and a rather dapper hat of light green.

No livestreaming, but supper still happens. My GLW said it looked 'pretty', so who am I to disagree?

#GoodAfternoon! Tis Friday, and #TravelBuddy #Squidge & #CplCarrot are off on an adventure, seeking an Owlbear & Wizard's Staff, no less. #OBaWs, here we come!

Before the Sun, the train, here by Tamar estuary. And it is the train, not a train: 57604 Pendennis Castle in GWR green, with red weight code roundel (as redundant as 1C50 headcode), Paddington to Penzance sleeper, not long after which Sun's rising, with childlike rays. #GoodMorning #Coffee anyone?

Sun rises behind the arch of Brunel's Bridge, between towers of Tamar Bridge, visible rays, like those of child's painting radiate from it's arrival, behind scattered, low, cloud into a mostly clear sky. To bottom right, the white painted houses close to estuary edge, and in the middle, twin lines of metal, the railway tracks, into Cornwall & towards Devon. Not a bad view, the sky aglow!

#GoodAfternoon from a grateful writer, thankful for missal from @hookland.bsky.social andvin consequence now a bearer of certain rights & privileges of the County! Now, where's the best #coffee in Hookland, I wonder?

A printed card, upon which are the words "To whom it may concern
This card is token given
By the Lird Lieutenant of
HOOKLAND
As a sign that...
Has been given
Right to Reside
Within the county
And may not be denied
Any liberties, Civilities
Or Freedoms enjoyed
Within its Borders"
Behind it is an unofficial map of the county, with annotations on red detailed this authors contributory locations.

#GoodAfternoon from Belfast, where Dr Moose, #TravelBuddy #Squidge & #CplCarrot take refreshment before the next leg of the journey home. The (inevitable) #coffee at Caffè Nero (other coffee retailers are available).

An offwhite anthropomorphic pram toy, with plushy, smiling, carrot across his lap, sits in the middle of a wooden table. To the left a red notebook, pen & obscured boarding pass. To the right a coffee cup (full, and cooling as I type!)

#GoodAfternoon all. Morning saw departure from #RPG con Continuum, a day earlier than usual. Now enjoying the inevitable #coffee with #TravelBuddy #Squidge & #CplCarrot before security check for flight to Belfast, in preparation for a certain wedding tomorrow...

An offwhite anthropomorphic pram toy & orange plush carrot recline on a disposable blue Caffe Nero coffee cup. They, and a red notebook & black pen, are on a brown wood outside table.

What's that #TravelBuddy #Squidge? An adventure? O, I think so... Continuum #RPG Con for a couple of days. Have company, dice, Wall of Heroes, will travel!

Evening all! After travels & be-robed sweltering, marking sacrament & ministry in unlikely Brutalist building, I repair to The Yard, accompanied by unsolicited Europop & migrant labourers' jollity, not to mention transport to past, elsewhere, what was, & may yet be. Featuring @hookland.bsky.social

On glass-topped outdoor table: from front left, Ronald Blythe's Akenfield (Penguin Classics edition), David Southwell's Hookland Fragments Volume One, and a hand-written notebook and pen, referred to by me, the author, as the Blue Book of Hookland. (Other content may feature). Also present are a full pint glass of water and an empty wine glass.

An anthropomorphic off-white pram toy, apparently from Emirates Airlines, that we found squashed & mucky on road c.15 years ago. Punk hair, eyes, mouth, nose & navel, no less! Wears my @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social wristbands & neckerchiefs. My photogenic travel mascot (along with. #CplCarrot too)

#GoodMorning! Time for Dr Moose, #TravelBuddy #Squidge & #CplCarrot to hit the road. It's been a blast, but all good things must come to an end (& so must bad ones, if you think about it)! Onwards through Sunday Sunlight!

Rails vibrate, diesel engine rumbles, to reveal double-headed special, Derby to Penzance, with heritage class 37s (gloss black with red & white lining), and lots of coaches, chocolate & cream Pullman and blood & custard BR ones! This makes me one very happy balcony sitter! #UKRail #Heritage #Saltash

In the meadow that doubles as beer garden I have been visited by a Small Blue. This is a win.

A small, pale blue, butterfly on ages skin, apparently resting. Wing undersides are very light blue, with scattered black spots. It seems content enough.

Day one of retreat draws to a close. I'm still not quite sure why I'm here, or what I hope the Spirit will unlock, but that's fine. I am not the only one needing direction, guidance, healing. Even just the peace is blessing. (Not that #TravelBuddy #Squidge & #CplCarrot need it, so far as I know!)

Show this to 18-year old me & ask me to guess where it applied to and I'd have probably said the Middle East or North Africa. 58-year old me looks and says "rather on the hot side for Northampton this week." Climate change, global warming, in plain sight.

I appear to have failed in statutory*, salutatory, duty. This is now being amended. A generally good day so far, featuring #coffee, exercise, conversation, and a long online meeting (during which I used no camera, to safeguard other participants' eyes**). * under Common Law ** pic for proof.

#GoodAfternoon! Dr Moose & #TravelBuddy #Squidge have arrived at #ChaosiumConUK. Accommodation secured, now to collect the Wall from the car & do Con registration. Onwards!

With my #RPG #Chaplain 'hat' on, I can now say I'm nearly ready for ChaosiumCon UK. The Wall of Heroes is up to date, though I still need ideas for my seminar. (These will come). @chaosium.bsky.social #TTRPG

It's been an idea to visit here for a bit, once I discovered where it actually was, and it took the GLW to push a Friday afternoon visit to the pub to seal it. Most glad I did. Nice amber ale, 5% Sea Fury, flowing, & inspiration with it... Shame they're not open Monday evenings. Lucky it's Friday!

#GoodMorning all - while morning remains. Penultimate ceremony complete, and #coffee-fuelling ongoing at rather nice independent coffee roasters (though not to everyone's taste, I recognise). Now, at gap before 1pm's ceremony. Not really time (or appetite) to eat though...

Dr Moose (Liminal Animal, a creature of many worlds) @drmoose.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

I forgot to post this earlier, so #GoodAfternoon "all! A glorious day for a University Applicant Visit Day. There's been #coffee & it's delightful to be out and about. There are worse ways to mark a natal day!"

I thought I'd posted a GoodMorning, but appear to have not. However, all is/was not lost. Heeding the word of the Lord, according to King James, I noted the importance of holy smoke & locomotion (following the prophet Isaiah 6:1) and responded accordingly...

GWR Manor class 2-6-0 locomotive Erlestoke Manor in BR green livery. The astute observer will note from the smoke that she is running tender first, en route to taking on water.

Old style railway carriage, a compartment thereof with red patterned seats. The place is delightfully free of Dementors...

#GoodMorning, reliable Sun, o'er Bristol Channel strand! Not a bad way to start a Wednesday, drinking deep of creation's glory. Artemis' surveyed lesser light slips away. Sentinels change above churning waves.

The burning glow of Dawn, just before sunrise. Land slipping to sea to left. Building, trees to right.

A highly magnified image. To right, coated figure stands at water's edge, wet sand behind making her, dressed in long grey coat, look almost as if standing on it. To left, a rock-piled breakwater, ended by pole and green triangle. In the distance, lines of waves to sea, horizon, and hints of land beyond.

The burning glow of Dawn, with barely-risen Sun. Land slipping to sea to left. Building, trees to right.

Still time to say #GoodMorning, to recount the cooked breakfast to revive a rather cold & tired Chaplain, & good #coffee to boot. It must have worked, for I may have a Cunning Plan! (Caution: involves long term thinking. Not one of my strengths..) For the record: blogged yesterday, but rather late.

A snapshot of handwriting, artfully on the slant. It shows a partial list of dates, appearing to begin at 2027, and fragments of annotations, 'Shrove Tuesday". "Eid", "Faith Week". What's the betting I'll totally forget about this?

#GoodMorning! Up at my usual Drop-In area for morning #coffee, and what do I find? "Unexpected #RPG items in the coffee bar area!" Many thanks to that colleague! (O my creaking shelves...). I may have most of them already, but I'm not ungrateful for the kind thoughts!

Inside a white plastic bag, a pile of Mongoose Traveller 1st edtion books. Three Little Black Books, High Guard, Psion, Agent, & Scoundrel, and Marches Adventure 1.

#GoodMorning folks, though skies be dim & drear, rain-threatening clouded. (Not unexpected for a small moist group of islands in our geographical location). Today sees Dr Moose MC the uni's Festive Concert. Meanwhile, I have words to write, & even better, #coffee to reverently consume. Carry On!

On small round table, upon which rest a cup of coffee, a small green service book (The Promise of His Glory) & a monile phone in a purple case).

#GoodEvening! Poor light levels & low mood do not a happy Moose make. However, let the record show that three-quarters of an hour's walk at dusk, last day's light & chill breeze are restorative to mind & mood! (Never fear, no #coffee was absent in the course of the day).
