Some of my parents' neighbours have fake bodybags as part of their outdoor Hallowe'en decorations, and it's frankly a bit disturbing. Hallowe'en is not about murder and serial killers; it's about the veil between two worlds being at their thinnest at the end of the year.

I always enjoy looking around Snooper's Paradise when I'm in Brighton, but everything is above my budget.

I got on a bus and went to a place.
Photo of a plaque on the gable wall of a stone building which reads, Welcome to Fox Valley, home of the paragon umbrella frame, patented 1852. There is a shiny metal image of Samuel Fox, an older man in a suit holding a folded umbrella. Photo of a statue in the middle of a road roundabout. The statue is a fat anthropomorphic Fox wearing a suit, glasses and a flat cap, and holding out a folded umbrella.

Bluejohn. Only mined in one specific location (the Peak District in England), has stunning purple shades, and makes for unique jewellery pieces because of the variations in colours.

I did some restocking for my next market, and also made a little something for myself.
A bead tray with several beaded glasses chains laying across it. More glasses chains, with a close-up on the rubber grips that attach to the glasses.A kilt pin with many strings of red glass beads, looking a little like dripping blood.

My strawberry soap dish fell into the sink yesterday and smashed. Fortunately, the shop I bought it from still has a few fruit-themed bathroom bits, so I was able to pick up a replacement today, and a second bonus one just in case!
Two ceramic soap dishes, one shaped like a pumpkin and one shaped like a sliced pear.

I have job interviews next week for serious office jobs, so I thought I should tone down my green hair just a little. That was a mistake. I was hoping for a deep mossy green - I got black.

I ended up getting up and going to the gym (because what's the point of living near a 24hr gym if you don't use it at 4am). Hopefully I can catch a couple of hours' sleep before the day starts proper.

Saw a guy today who was composed entirely of legs and hair, dressed like he'd stepped out of a '60s cartoon despite about about 25y/o.

I am genuinely disturbed by the amount of anime stories that start with a teenager meeting their step-siblings for the first time AFTER their parents re-marry. This can't really be a real thing in real life, can it? Where did this trope come from?
Screenshot from the anime Please Excuse My Younger Brothers. A teenage girl lays on a couch with a cloth over her face, recovering from shock. The subtitle, spoken by her mother, reads, Maybe I should have mentioned the kids from his previous marriage.

Every time the temperature creeps above 25°C, I remember the ad I saw, a few years ago, for Thatchers blood orange cider and how ridiculously refreshing it looked, even in a picture. For once, an advert was telling the truth.

I think I was a bit over-ambitious planning a cinema trip on the same day as Pride, and I'm going to be knackered tomorrow, but 'Lesbian Space Princess' was worth it.

I had a gift certificate from doing some market research interviews, so I decided to treat myself to a projector so I can watch trashy anime on the ceiling instead of on my laptop screen.

So, like the '80s Dolph Lundgren film, this is 'Masters of the Universe', not 'He-Man'. And because I saw the Dolph Lundgren film at the cinema when it came out, I'm not going in with high hopes. But as an '80s fan, I still feel obliged to see this.

As birthdays go, this one's actually been pretty decent - got a genuinely good present from my parents, and had a nice birthday brunch with friends today. Also, I made another birthday smögåstårta!

The worrying birthday present turned out to be a rotary tool, which I actually very much wanted! So happy birthday to me, and I can't wait to start drilling and cutting things.

The last bit of unpacking from the move was all of my framed fan art, because I needed a bumper pack of picture hanging strips to put everything up. But now the gallery wall is back up, which means I'm fully moved in.

How did 'A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation' fly so far under the radar last season? It was queerer than the season's cannon BL, but I didn't see a mention of it on Tumblr.

I did not plan to buy anything while I was out today, but purely by chance I stumbled across the perfect thing to complete my bathroom - I've genuinely been looking for a fruit-themed toilet roll holder for nearly two years now.
A wicker basket shaped and painted like a strawberry. A piece of wood in the top opening holds a roll of toilet paper. My bathroom, small with white walls and fixtures, with fruit-themed art on every wall, and fruit-themed accessories including a watermelon shower mat, a bell pepper toilet brush, and a toilet seat that looks like a strawberry. The same bathroom from a different angle, this time showing a strawberry print mat in the shower cubicle, a basket shaped like half a lemon slice and a small shelf unit with more fruit-themed items.

Just said goodbye to the nicest flat I've ever lived in. It was stunning, it was gorgeous, it was easy to clean. To bad the landlord was a money-grubbing parasite.
