Be honest with me. If I put an unmarked pot of soy sauce next to an unmarked pot of Balsamic vinegar... Would you know the difference?

From the wash the laundress sends
My collars home with ravelled ends;
I must fit, now these are frayed,
My neck with new ones London-made.

Homespun collars, homespun hearts,
Wear to rags in foreign parts.
Mine's at least as good as done,
And I must get a Ruskin one.

Snippets of my art buys from @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social - cropped to protect the artists. Jackie Duckworth's "Tiger Tiger"🐅 and Mike Horsfield's "Fortress". I really hummed and arred about spending but I can tell you now, I have no remorse whatsoever.

Even the postman has started giving me the "you can't be reading all these" look.

I bloody am.

In the first ten pages, I thought this was going to be a lost cause. It is real pulp. However, somewhere my brain switched off and I just enjoyed the ride. Difficult to recommend, but short and entertaining in an out-of-date way. #trojan #paperback #sf 🚀👩🏼‍🚀

This excerpt from "One Against Time" by Astron del Martia hasn't aged well. Interesting though, as a warning against predicting constants in futurology. #sff #books

@britfantasysoc.bsky.social I'm having flashbacks to my first day at university! Where's my class? What did I sign up for? Where is my mind!?!

Just watched The Instigators, great film 8/10. Damon and Casey Affleck are pitch-perfect.

Came downstairs to discover this installation on the kitchen table. It doesn't seem to have a title.

I know there's something wrong when you're admiring the wonder of nature and thinking 🤔 Which witcher potion does that make?

Three car-boot-corrupted copies of The Pollutant Speaks donated to a free library in Cromer near the cricket club. Enjoy!

Thanks to @dlbowman76.com this map tree has got lots more texture.

Sometimes, the most unlikely sections of the #library have incredible #fantasy #book titles. Can you spot the one that caught my eye? 👁️👀👀👁️

Every time I hear a mention of the X-Man Cyclops, I can't help thinking of 'Cycle clips'. It's a disease. Now you have it too.

I'm reading this and always stop to admire the cover.

Some green ink experiments in an attempt to produce top-down trees for a very special #map. Do you find any of them convincing?

The laughably named "Fulbourn Super Soldier Programme" is beginning to take a toll. Half-marathon at the end of the month!
