All set up to paint at my local, every other Tuesday, games club at the Granary in #BerwickUponTweed If you’re local to Berwick, and you’re a card, board, or other tabletop gamer, do come along between 6pm and 9pm.

The great annoyance that came out of my recent trip was dealing with #Lufthansa customer 'service', and the huge effort they will go to to avoid paying out on a promise made by one of their own customer service people. Their final, smug defence was, "Well, you can't prove what was said, can you?"

Three suitcases go into Austrian Airlines care at the same time - Sarajevo to Glasgow, via Vienna. The London to Glasgow leg is British Airways. One case gets stuck in Vienna, one in London, and one somehow between London and Glasgow. Yay... #travel #lostluggage

Last morning walk in #Sarajevo for a while. Encountered this chaos goblin in the grounds of the main mosque, charging around, stalking leaves, living his best life. #catsofbluesky

At night, when the grounds are closed for the day, the keepers of the main mosque in #Sarajevo put out food, and the occasional box lid, for the stray cats of the city. They have a safe place at night. Gorgeous.

In 1994 when they were taking off but by no means massive or wielding any influence within the music industry, Green Day took gay punk band Pansy Division on tour with them. People were very vocally homophobic back then (in England, section 28 was still very much in force - not repealed until 2003!)

Travelled to #Visegrad for thr bridge there. If you've ever read 'The Bridge on the Drina' you'll know why this is a special place. It's well worth a read if you've not. Sadly, there's not a lot in Visegrad apart from the bridge and related museums. Worth two half days and one night.

#Sarajevo is a beautiful place, but a hard one too. Before I post lots of tourist pics, I want to acknowledge what the criminal Serb forces did here, that they still refuse to accept they did. They committed a genocide here. Recently, they buried one of the architects of that crime as a hero.

#InTheGrey, on Prime. A review. Impossibly rich people have a problem with a fabulously rich person. They employ a very rich person to solve the problem. She has two wealthy people who help her. They employ well paid people to help kill wage slaves. A couple of the well paid people die too. Meh.

60yrs ago (8th Sep) the first episode of Star Trek played on NBC and so it is a very Happy Birthday to a series and franchise that means a lot to so many people. Here is some of my fan art of the original crew. Live long and prosper.

So happy to add this to my library. #TheBedSittingRoom is a piece of 1960's surrealist genius. It has the most incredible cast, including British theatre royalty. I was baffled by it as a kid, but learned to love it on later viewing. It's currently on Prime if you've not seen it. Recommended.

I have a huge pile of unread books. As is traditional, this means I am rereading books I've read before. Read through the Witchfinder collections (Mignola et al), and am now on Leiber's Swords series. To be fair, I've not read those since uni over 30 years ago, so I'm excused.

'Whisper Man' on Netflix is set in one of those American houses I'm sure only exist in horror films. The wooden ones with walls made entirely of doorways for bad things to lurk in.

"Quid pro quo. I tell you things, you tell me things." I've seen this film many times (and drawn it) but it was cool to watch it with my son for his first viewing and see his reaction. Post-It Note art.

The UK government's various id websites, and HMRC, and One Login, and all of it are utterly useless. They do not properly communicate between themselves and, if you encounter issues, the online help services send you into a looping Sisyphean purgatory until they stop working. Hate, hate, hate.

Dolly Parton was a wealthy advocate for women's rights, who put her money to good use helping millions around the world, very often without fanfare, but who managed to do so without being a transphobe. Without hating anyone. She was loved by all those without hate in their hearts.

People are turning down highly-paid jobs working on H Potter related productions. They are giving up six/seven-figure sums on principle, because the money raised will be used to harm trans people, including trans children. Yet you can’t give up playing a game, watching a movie or buying a book...?

'Black Mirror' director Ally Pankiw reveals she turned down directing the 'Harry
Potter' HBO series:
"It simply is this easy to say no to funding transphobia!"

Travelled to Edinburgh yesterday. You can tell it's Festival time. Two posh Londoners, one explaining to her friend that, yes, Scotland is part of the UK, as are Wales and Northern Ireland. Friend was astonished. She was expecting a passport check. This astinishing lack of knowledge is not unusual.

Fuck. Went to Ireland for a dear friend's wedding celebration. Ate or drank something that severely disagreed with me. I am now stuck in my hotel room, memorising every detail of the bathroom walls and missing the celebration. It's not a hangover. I suspect a flatbread lunch to be the culprit.
