Other work by the Ladybird artists ‘October’ (From a 1958 calendar by the always fabulous Ronald Lampitt)

A cloudy day in October casts long shadows so it’s early or late. An allotment is busy with autumn activity and the plots are all super well-tended.

Autumn comes to the cottages with carpets of apple rot that sour the air with vinegar tang. Comes in a dressing of the year not in green gowns, but wounded rags of brown. It comes as a fear of early darkness. A terror of hungry spirits that rush the path. – #DAKilory, 1982

This Maya ceramic funerary urn originates from the Quiche department in the highland region of Guatemala. Created during the Late Classic Period between 600 and 900 CE, the vessel features relief carvings of jaguars, human skulls, and molded spines to represent deities of the underworld, Xibalba.

Bloody kids of today. They aren't satisfied with manglewurzels or turnips for their Haggedy-Raggedy lanterns. Oh no, they want something non-traditional, something a bit different. Something a bit too bloody orange if you ask me. The spirits won't like it. – Sam Buckle, 1982 #VOH

I’ve been really busy with school during the day, so a lot of my recent photos haven been taken at night #night #landscape #photography #nature

I love this episode and sequence for exactly the same reasons. It’s so nostalgic.

Had a few really good tracks, but it’s not an album I pop in often, as a big Genesis fan. Very uneven, but coming after the dreadful Abacab, by no means their worst.

Just polished off 2/3rds of a large jar of pickled onions. That’s me burping all nightshift.

No idea why I keep thinking it’s Sunday today.😕 Not having regular shift patterns week-in week-out totally messes with my brain. Definitely feels like a Sunday morning to me.😆

I was only thinking yesterday morning, coming off nightshift, how lovely and autumnal it felt. It was properly cold and misty. So where did this 21°c come from? Just got a sweat on coming back from Aldi with my shopping bags.

This also applies to Long Player Late bloomer, as I’ve had it on 4 times already today, while dusting, dishwashing and sorting out storage boxes. Some of your lyrics in Eye Candy never fail to raise a laugh.

I feel it is no bad thing to walk the lanes of England as a child would. Over the wall an orchard to scrump. Around the turn of the path the hope of ghost glimpse, faery encounter. To walk with an enchanted heart is my aim and none shall dissuade me from it. – #CLNolan
