Such beautiful late summer weather in London. Absolutely GIGANTIC lobster roll and Pumpkinhead cravings rn

On a green lawn, a big tree is in the centre, with a sizeable trunk and reaching branches with green foliage. A wooden bench is just too one side. Grass as far as the eye can see, and more trees at the borders.

Morning. 🖼️ Cormorant, Ohara Koson.

The image is a Japanese woodblock print titled "Red Mask Cormorant on Rock" by Ohara Koson (1877-1945), a prominent artist of the shin-hanga movement. The artwork features a large, dark-feathered cormorant standing on a rocky outcrop, with its wings partially spread, possibly in the act of drying them or preparing for flight. The bird is rendered with detailed plumage and a distinctive long, pointed yellow beak. Waves break against the rocks it stands upon. In the background there are birds in flight in the distance.

We got a patient sample with a risk of Zika and I was asked by the person processing samples if it's a group 2 or 3 organism. I said I think it's a 2, check the ACDP list. Instead they googled it and Google told them it was a 'level 3'. But it isn't. ACDP confirmed it's a 2. Thanks, Google! 🙄

A stupid virus has kept me prone this long weekend - even longer as I was home sick from Thursday. But it's been a chance to catch up on reading and watching. Finally got to see the live action version of Beauty and the Beast. The animated version is probably my favourite Disney film but...

While working on Something Else (TBA 😉), I ended up exploring an interesting tangent: the road movie as a distinctly American type of folk horror. I started with movies from the 60s and 70s, but it goes beyond that. Are there some films (of any era) that you would add to the list?
