Happy birthday to your Gran! My mum has dementia which mainly effects her memory. When I visit her in the home, she's happy to see me, but then doesn't remember anything afterwards. I like to imagine that the emotion chemicals are still around even if she doesn't know why she's happy.

New Jeff Noon novel!

Contemporary fantasy and fantastical memoir.

Like nothing else he's done but also entirely Noonish. (And quite Garnerish.)

Writing again today, so I made myself a cheese/pickled beetroot/Frazzles sandwich. And honestly I think its the best sandwich ever created.

The extent of my prep for writing this book...

...and just start with this and see where it goes. Just improv the rest.

Sat down to do some writing this morning. So of course I then spent an hour reading all about puttees, their history, and why the British army doesn't use them any more. I also know how to perfectly tie them and blouse the bottom of my trousers.

Wow, this was the first book I remember reading! Lying on the floor in front of Record Breakers on a rug that smelled of dogs.

There's quite a few pubs and taverns featured in various Hammer films. Also, there's a Wetherspoon's in Whitstable called The Peter Cushing.

Happy 38th birthday, KNIGHTMARE, the hardest game show on television! In 1987, Treguard the Dungeon Master welcomed the first team of adventurers to his blue screen labyrinth. Losers didn’t just fail, they 'died': blades, spikes, and bottomless pits abounded. "Ooh, nasty..."

The Hum was more than a sound. It was the electric ley of the land manifesting. We walked underneath its lines and were transformed. Outsiders called us trespassers, filthy hippies, mad marchers. We just called ourselves Children of The Hum. – Trippy Pete, ex-Pylon Person #VOH
