Black and white version of the seed pod - and green glass for a tiny bit of colour (though it's a bit difficult to see on the small screen)

Dried and skeletonised poppy seed pod, with orchids and green glass.

Long exposure photos of the level crossing

Cracked windshield on the car, so took it through to Autoglass in Cardington for replacing... cue a wander round the lake in Priory Country Park in the rain.

Sitting, naming and indexing files for a promo video edit, bottle of ginger beer to hand, Jethro Tull on speakers. I bloody love editing 🙂 (and file management is oddly satisfying)

The new documentary GRAND THEFT HAMLET is about out-of-work actors staging a Shakespeare production in the middle of Grand Theft Auto Online.

It's the only version of the play where the "to be or not to be speech" is repeatedly interrupted by strangers murdering Hamlet.

I loved it.

My review.

Went for a wander with the dog in the frosty fields

Went for a wander with the dog at the end of last week, the sunset was gorgeous

Father Emmerich sighs and returns to the weinachtspyramide he has set on the orphanage dormitory landing, whispering a prayer as he resets the pitch of the wooden fan blades; returning the carousel to a clockwise rotation and undoing the petty blasphemy of restless spirits. @hookland.bsky.social

Even in winter, the children play by the pond at the edge of the woods; throwing stones to watch the ripples, floating cans as targets, but when the sunset turns the water blood red, they leave. They can hear the whispering in the reeds; unwanted playmates, cold as the grave. @hookland.bsky.social

A beautifully shot contemporary horror,with a chilling villain, and a great story 🙂 (and I'm serious about it being beautifully shot; just look at the crime scene shot with the two SoCO's and the victim sat at her computer!)

The woodpecker is back in the garden- too skittish and fast for me to get a decent photo yet, so here's two from last year.

Lightning at sea off the Suffolk coast, from our October visit to Dunwich (a Hookland holiday by any other name... 😉 )
