Almost exactly a year later, and at almost the exact same spot, the scarlet elf cups are back. Love these vibrant freaks! #fungifriends

Nice to discover this little lodger snuggled up in a groove of my kitchen door - presumably for the winter. The wee groover clearly doesn’t mind the blaring music!

I think the piano part near the start of Seadrum by #Boredoms is sampled from Yume-no-ishi by SAB. From around 14:30 onwards...
