Packets, on a shelf, of some manner of chocolate confection with the unlikely name of 'Super Dickmann's'.

Went to see Frankenstein's Castle at the weekend and was oddly surprised to see the lil café was selling copies of a graphic novella that I already owned (purchased before I heard he was a sex pest).

Frankenstein's Castle viewed through the trees and slight mist

The tower gate and chapel of Frankenstein's Castle

The courtyard and main building of Frankenstein's Castle (surprisingly small)

Copies of Frankenstein's Womb by Warren Ellis for sale in the window of the small café at Frankenstein's Castle.

Just Google photos trying to make me worry about my boy while he's at the vet, under general anaesthetic for dental work...

He's old! He's underweight! There's a very real risk!

Google photos notifications inviting me to revisit memories of my beloved cat, Orwell, from 5 and 6 years ago.

I feel so sad for this guy. He lives in the house opposite, and I'm always seeing him sitting on the step, waiting to be let in. I don't know why they don't get a catflap. He's been there over an hour right now.

If you see this, post a comic cover you love.

Never feel ashamed for not knowing this band. But it's been nearly a week since I've got one right.

Podcast character says, "bezoar of souls", which is an incredible turn of phrase. Then says bezoar again not ten minutes later and totally spoils it.
