While I support a variety of beer styles, I can't get behind a variety of beer glasses. I have to learn to drink each time.

Bexhill Museum is very refreshing. Back to proper museums.
Variety of stuffed birds in odd poses? Check. Dinosaur bones? Check? Architecture models of local buildings? Check. Printed out info attached via pins to cork board? Check.
Train set belonging to Eddie Izzard? Double check.

Surprise pet🙀
Well, until the rescue can get back to us. Good thing I have raised a lot of birds in my time. Wish them luck—just a tween in bird years.
Many thanks to the kind clerk who looked after them after they were blown out of their nest into the road.

Admittedly, smaller than what most people need for their books.

Okay, so the Rolife kit does not mess about.
No let's ease you in connecting some big parts together. It's all "Step 1 - apply the tiny book sticker to the tiny book".
I won't criticise GW and their multi part legs after this.

In a change from GW and plastic, I'm starting a Rolife kit.
I've seen these advertised and given them as gifts many times but I've had this bookshop sat on my shelf for a good while.
Since it's raining it's a good time to start.

I'm pleased to reveal the new logo of Obscure Owl Press.
Red is rarely a color that I use in layouts so this will stand out on future OOP publications.
Many thanks to Gel on Fiverr for their design here.
Look out for this mark of quality weirdness on zines, books and pamphlets near you soon.

I've just finished the Season 1 ending of the Key of Dreams - an interactive, Lovecraft experience here in Wales.
Absolutely brilliant production once again and I'd thoroughly encourage anyone interested in theatre, interactive experience or puzzles to attend.

Surely this is a sign of the End Times, the collapse of civilisation, the end of modernity and a reversion to barbarity.

I'm absolutely in awe of this soldier's face at the Hyde Park Corner underground's Waterloo mural.
