I'm going to hang my shingle out properly by 'fessing that I've been reading Tolkien, and about Tolkien, for over half a century, and I'm currently obsessed with Rings of Power

Lovely to be driven out the the west coast of Mull on this fiercely windblown day. I stepped out from shelter for a moment to capture this view in a lull from the wind gusts

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

When our son was 10 he would ask questions about whatever narrative we were consuming together and it took one talk like "those questions you're always asking are called the story and if you're patient you'll find that they get answered eventually" and a lot of the internet needs that refresher.
"WHY'S SHE DOING THAT?? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, I'M BORED" well the cool thing about following a narrative is that eventually if you keep watching or reading or listening, magical bits of information are doled out

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

The land of Númenor resembled in outline a five-pointed star, or pentangle, with a central portion some two hundred and fifty miles across, north and south, and east and west, from which extended five large peninsular promontories.

Available in many colours.
Can be posted easily (unlike a hoover or two hoovers for example)
Personal to both you and the recipient.
Available to buy from me.

Today was beautifully sunny, dawn to dusk, but oh my word it was cold! So here's a summer poem to warm us up
Summer Run
The sun is a copper disc
hammered out on the anvil
of the sky, and I,
forge-lit and foundering,
beat my obdurate nature
against its enduring heat
until I am its molten mirror.

I’m turning in, but, Plur1bus fans? Go read Octavia Butler’s PATTERNIST novels, starting with WILD SEED. Power dynamics and psychics and connected minds written by a science fiction grandmaster, you won’t regret it.

Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat
How about a silly card
The features the word twat?
And if that doesn’t

There’s jaws and Luke and shit
I know it’s early to flog cards
But I’m just that kind of tit...

I want to post this to remind myself when I feel low and gloomy, that Sat8/Sun9 Nov 2025 were dry, clear & remarkably warm. Usually by this point in November I'm deep in the early stages of winter depression, with not even the hope of sun. This weekend I took two fine walks and the sun shone on me.

Great DnD session tonight. I love that we can all be a bit deranged, a bit creative, a bit unhinged , and (in the hands of a competent DM - not me btw) it becomes a more-or-less coherent narrative
