How the Email Found Me @howtheemailfoundme.bsky.social · 11h

The email has found me frantically anointing the bones - worn smooth as ice by time - with oils of cypress and myrrh as the hollow shrieking behind the iron doors to the lower crypt intensifies. I am the last of the team-building exercise left alive, Dom from HR has just been lost to the scarabs.

It was a lovely night listening to Ceri Houlbrook and Tabitha Stanmore speaking about folklore/cunning folk last night. Off to see Sarah Hall and Daisy Johnson at the lit festival tomorrow. Off work and making progress on my autumn scarf today. Perfect seasonal activities 🍂 🧶 📕

‘Helm’ by Sarah Hall, a partially completed crochet scarf in autumnal colours, and a handsome mug with black coffee in it.

Wagamama has slowly removed every last delicious and fun vegan option from its menu. Sad times tonight, but the bang bang cauliflower has helped with my cold I’m pretty sure.

Hello #crochet Bluesky/ #crochetsky - I really enjoy watching a whole bunch of crochet YouTubers already, but if you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them. I'm old now and more into comfy/cosy than high adrenaline vlogging 😊

One of my weekend highlights was a chap selling homegrown mushrooms at very good prices 🍄‍🟫

There’s something very liberating about wearing wellies with regular clothes. #splishsplash

It's usually a bit of a John Carpenter-fest for me. It has to include Prince of Darkness, Halloween (obvs) and The Fog. (I watch The Thing on NYE.) I like to rewatch the Mike Flanagan Hill House series. Also gotta do Hocus Pocus. There are usually a few ghost story events/shows here and there too.

This is really pretty and has inspired me to do something similar with all my cotton scraps/leftovers 🙂

Big, sad feelings today. Feelings that I suspect can only be mitigated by a large pasta dinner, a Hammer Horror session, and crochet.

A library display unit with a sign that says ‘ghostly reads’. There is Barrowbeck, Thin Air, and others.
