Happy birthday to the Bard of Alderley Edge. Alan Garner, 92 today.
A framed A2 original monochrome photograph of the author Alan Garner. He is a white man in his 60s, with his hands folded under his chin. He is smiling. He wears a knitted jumper. Behind him is a wooden door. 21 books by the author, Alan Garner. Spine out on a shelf, 20 are hard-backed. One, at the very far right, is soft-backed.

What's that you can hear? It's the @perennialtheband.bsky.social sound brutalising The Modernist Society HQ in Manchester.
The three-piece band Perennial playing in a gallery space. Behind the drummer BRUTAL GLASGOW is stamped on the wall. On the wall to the band's left are several paintings of brutalist sites in Glasgow. Everybody is happy.

Did the Holiday on the Buses Pilgrimage between Prestatyn and Dyserth Falls and back today. Saw 7 (seven) buzzards over the falls, taking advantage of the fine weather therms.

Vintage format fans, I have a small amount of home video DVD footage that only seems to play on this one machine. Here are the output options. Any suggestion as to which is best? Planning to save to hard drive.

Thought it was this fella he'd robbed, but that's invincibility rather than temporal bus stop skills. On another day he was seeing following a boy and a girl through a hole in a fence. None of them re-appeared on the other side, but days later he emerged. Covered in ice...
