Running a tiny hardware shop in this day and age is always going to be a tale of ups and downs - but today...
Older chap and small lad looking in the window. 'This,' says the chap with something approaching joy and reverence, 'this is the magic shop.'
I am officially a wizard 🙂

Customer this morning says he can remember buying shotgun cartridges from my grandad!
That's...going to be quite a while ago, then 😂

Bit of an assorted swords and sorcery week this week.
A mysterious pyramid, a call back to the pulpy S&S novel covers of my youth, and a bit of b/w mountain adventure

So after doing a bit of digging about yesterday (thank you folks for your S&S suggestions!) I found an author I'd not heard of before - Dariel Quiogue - and his book of novellas, Swords of the Four Winds.
So far, rather enjoying it!

No one needs Ai to illustrate their ttrpgs.
I glued random shit together to make a robot model. Took some pictures and traced it like a total beginner.
Anyone can do this. It cost me 0$ it took me a total of 3 hours for 2 robots.
I can even reuse the materials.
Please. Be creative

Well, so far this morning I've delighted a lady with castor cups, helped another who couldn't fit blades in her Stanley knife, and made someone's day with fuse wire.
Hardware. It's an odd life 🙂

Just had to try and identify a screw head via a customer on video call to his partner - the aforementioned screw head only barely visible at the bottom of about a 2 inch hole, and in dodgy light.
Going to be an interesting day if that's anything to go on 😂

I don't generally read much fantasy these days, and I've *always* leaned more to Moorcock than Tolkien. High fantasy = absolutely not my cuppa. Big fan of Joe Abercrombie, Moorcock, that sort of thing.
Incidentally, modern S&S recommendations welcome 🙂

Me, looking at reviews of recent modern Conan novels, and they seem to leap between:
A) this is the best Conan I've read in years
B) this is the worst Conan I've ever read
