Drank this during the screening of Good Boy which I will watch again. The lead character, Indy the dog, deserves an Academy award nomination for best actor.

While going through my old photos stored in my ancient laptop, I managed to find this photo, taken back on 8th November 2014 with Lalla Ward.

I do not like the taste of alcohol, but do collect Gothic wine bottles for display.

Halloween goodies from Asda that includes a bottle of Frankenstein wine for guests, as I do not drink, but wish to keep the bottle.

London Month of the Dead started with a bang, with this excellent tour of one of the East End's oldest and surviving family funeral services.

Special thanks to London Month of the Dead for organising this tour and also the staff at T. Cribb for their hospitality.

Another great exhibition on Edward Burra.

Loved the amazing exhibition on writer, artist and occultist Ithell Colquhoun, which I am told is the first showcase of her work @tate.bsky.social
