This recluse went out for pleasure today 😊
A walk...
Followed part of the route in Nightjar.
Across the railway bridge.
New graffiti.
Found old friends fallen.
Windbreaks,
And fires,
Offerings to Bavarian Gods;
Fore returning to old roads cut.
And home.

Tomorrow’s brand new episode of Weird in the Wade explores the secrets of Pegnut wood. I’m joined briefly by @modquokka.bsky.social as I explore the woodland’s past. Expect execution paths, Victorian fake news, sewage, and another big cat sighting. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

My research into Nanny Morgan has been one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done. Ann Morgan's story highlights the importance of honouring historical legacies in folkloric narratives. She deserves to be remembered.

Today is the day I learned of #BookSky
Are there other hashtags around folklore, history, books, art, and film that have adopted a 'Sky' (or similar) suffix that I should be aware of?

As cleaners...
Why do people (other staff) throw liquids in the bin; as in soup, hot chocolate, coffee, coke?
Worse.
They threw it in a bin without a bin bag, even though the extra bin bags (to use) are in the bottom of the bin.
And the sink...
Next to the bin 😶
