Good morning, just barely but still.

More of this!!
New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

Goodnight to us all.
Goodnight from Jack Hurley, still taking helpful directions from his dead wife as he pushes their Vauxhall Victor F towards Burwood. Goodnight from Chas Foster, fixing newspapers to the windows of his shed so no-one can see him making illegal sprite traps. Goodnight from Hookland.

Books enrich my life. Can not imagine living without books and music.

Writers, and musicians, thank you. I work in service of one, made possible by the other.

Good afternoon.

Never again. I (mostly) promise.
Came out rather well, I thought.
Goodnight all.
Goodnight from Morton Parish Council, where the vote to ban making promotional images of the village’s infamous Wyrm has ended in rancour and harsh curses. Goodnight from Tabitha Mantel, sure she can hear Faery clocks chiming the ninth of the hour. Goodnight from Hookland.

Thank you music. Could not have done it without you.

Good morning all.
Have you any recommendations for work soundtrack? High energy for preference.

Goodnight to us all.
Goodnight from The Hellbox pub, where the Plastered Outcasts society of authors are discussing the cursing of an errant publisher. Goodnight from Annabelle Nelmes, paying respect to Wivenstone’s Tree of Sorrows with generous apple brandy libation. Goodnight from Hookland.

Such words help me to keep going and encourage others, especially children, to read and draw.

Got my first installment today!!
Only newspaper I read!

On the drawing table today.
Bela... Sort of.

“If you go back a million minutes, you reach 2023. Go back a billion minutes, you reach the Roman Empire — that’s the scale of inequality we’re living with.”

She is still here.
November 22, 2025 at 3:47 PM
And Babymetal is still the best work soundtrack, with a bit of Voice of Baseprot. Then... Skindred.

Drawing a Bela Lugosi homage because no one is stopping me.

All support from here!!
It’s been a pretty busy couple of days all things considered! Our priority now is to meet with civic leaders to discuss how this affects our business.

We will also be calling for public consultations with both the indie businesses and the wider community of Leith regarding future Newkirkgate plans.
November 22, 2025 at 11:45 AM
Good morning, according to the dandelion clock.
November 22, 2025 at 11:42 AM
Grrr Waterstones. Huzzah indie book stores!!
Waterstones doesn’t need your £. Indie bookshops serving their community despite behemoths muscling in, do.

The verb, to Scooby Doo is a joy.
Goodnight all.
Goodnight from the abandoned Rocket Test Centre at RAF Nook, where police have yet again been called about a group of teens indulging in Scooby-Dooing trespass. Goodnight from Samantha Rendell, gripping her cave wolf snow globe as talisman against the dark. Goodnight from Hookland.
