This IS a frog in a waistcoat vesta case; it is NOT a bit of tackle.

A gold metal ornamental case in the shape of a frog which is a sort of match tin. It absolutely looks like a dick.

Instead of a necklace that alerts authorities if you've fallen and can't get up, how about an amulet that releases a clattering cloud of ravens across the earth?
How about a brooch that summons the help of the old gods of darkness and wine-stained debauchery?

Sorry to hear this. That mental and physical weariness saps so much. Small bits of joy get so hidden.

Stourbridge, in the West Midlands.

It did have a bit of a portal feel to it.

You don't need the Paris Metro for decorative public transit.

The train styled ironwork by the subway to the station, featuring a chuffing train.

I will also add I've had a bottle of Cherry Porter and have a right rosy glow for the bus back. #UnaccustomedAsIAmToPublicDrinking

Well Claptrap in Stourbridge is a flipping ace venue, friendly crowd and The Humdrum Express gig was a total blast.

Sally Gunnel via a cutout looks on as the band sing a tune featuring her.

A singer, Paz from The Humdrum Express uses a megaphone to encourage a rousing chorus of "pearly whites" as part of a song "Turkey Teeth". There is a green lampshade to the left.

But obviously can't be here and not adore this again as well. If there was a DiD for paintings, this would be my save from the waves. The thread connecting the hat to the coat being something I've missed before.

The last of England. A vibrant scene of emigration

A man is swaddled against the weather, a string connects his coat n hat.

My total favourite painting in the gallery, The Portrait of the Official Rat Catcher. Fsntastic ferret action.

And a big "you fucking unsociable arseholes" to people painting their nails on a hot train. Do you have no sense of smell?

The face of a cat who conned his staff into providing two breakfasts of Iams chicken in jelly in quick succession this morning.

Reckon APRs back then were probably a lot less than the gouging rates now.

The joy of the Freemans catalogue, we'd have been right raggedly annas without it and the "commission" which Mum got as the local "Catalogue Lady". Being taken to Brent Cross as a "treat" as it was "new big shopping", all of that.
