Urban exploration.
Glasgow, Scotland.
#photography #urbanphotography #streetphotography #bridges
Photo of a footpath tunnel giving horror movie vibes, under an iron bridge arch. the cobblestone and tarmac path has stone walls with graffiti on them, going up to the bridge arch either side. It looks dark and spooky as the tunnel is dark, getting lighter towards the other end where we can see green plants where the light comes in.

Window shopping in Glasgow.

Photo of a shop window display with a red neon light up sign saying “recording” and a very muscly leather loving garden gnome statue clad in tight denim shorts, leather cuffs boots and belt. Photo taken in summer 2025, in the west end of Glasgow

We’re behind in watching AEW and just caught up with Blood and Guts. We thought the women’s match was MUCH more exciting and entertaining than the men. An awesome inaugural match!! 🤼‍♂️

Having a rough day, then a flower delivery arrived! A late engagement gift from my oldest friend (we met in playgroup at 4 years old!)- what a lovely thing to brighten the day!! 😊🥰
Bunch of cut flowers. Various different pink flowers amongst green leaves, the bunch has a rustic nature vibe to it.

Reading 2025 fiction?

Try the short story "Anémona" by Ana Hurtado!

You can read it here!

buff.ly/1QW0iW0
The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 67, "Mushroom Mother of Us All" by Paul Lewin: In the center, an elderly Black woman has her eyes serenely closed, a brown-orange nose piercing on her right nostril and an orange line/mark on her chin. Her hair are the green leaves of trees, trunks growing out of the side of her face, and mushrooms growing through the leaves. She wears large earrings of orange, sienna, with aqua and white lines and dots. Her hands hold a bowl lined with Black faces and mushrooms growing out of the bowl. In the center of the bowl and thus the front of her chest is an orange sun surrounded by a dark pink halo like a globe. The quote reads: "Angustia opens her eyes to the empty cavity she holds—a body missing a body—and beyond, the Pacific Ocean way past sunset, the Casablanca beach after the kids who built sandcastles have been beaconed back to their vacation houses and the canals they dug out with their tiny hands now overrun by squirming night worms."

Searching for a book of short stories for my next read as focusing on a novel is too much for me just now. I want magical realism,urban and gritty but no gore or gratuitous violence.

2002? I got NOTHING! Unfortunately, I couldn’t describe anything that came out that year as more than just okay. ☹️

I do not claim these are all perfect but I definitely listened to them a lot!

A thread of mince pie reviews - ongoing throughout the festive season!

Morrisons (shortcrust, basic ones) - absolutely gross, threw the rest of the packet in the bin. 0/5

Co-op (shortcrust, bakery dept) - nice pastry, bit too thick. Filling was good texture but no flavour. 2/5

Having to haul my hungry and depressed self to the supermarket means I’ll undoubtedly return with an absolute feast of junk food. Mmm…all the crisps.

Today was first time wearing my new (to me) crochet jumper (over a summer dress) - the jumper was my latest joyful vintage store find and I LOVE IT!! 😍
Photograph of the body of me wearing a black and white patterned crochet jumper. Orange and white pattern dress is seen below the jumper.

Behold, Space Unicorns! The Uncanny Magazine 2025 Award Eligibility post! buff.ly/2OBnGgP
Cover image The Duet by Nilah Magruder. Two brown women sit at a piano smiling at each other as they play. The younger woman with long white hair, a pendant, and a lavenger dress sits further away. The older woman with her black hair in a bun, her hovering, disembodied head has a propellor and metal collar on her throat, sits closer to us. Her body underneath is dressed in a burgandy dress with poofy sleeves. Her right hand, also with a metal collar, is detatched and on the keyboard between the other woman's hands. Behind them is a blue curtain in front of a gray wall. The Uncanny banner, July/August 2025, Issue Sixty-Five, list of author, essayists, and poets credits, and the editor credits, are on top of the image. Cover image Barbershops of the Floating City by Grace P. Fong. An Asian woman with long black hair, wearing a blue qipao-like dress with blue floral designs, holds a pair of black scissors and faces us. A shadowy figure, a woman in profile, stands behind her. At the women’s feet are gray-brown skyscrapers. Behind her is a pale-green-blue sky and a pale yellow sun-like circle surrounded by yellow rays and black angled points shaped like scissors. The Uncanny banner, May/June 2025, Issue Sixty-Four, list of author, essayists, and poets credits, and the editor credits, are on top of the image.

One of the bracelets I wear everyday, a reminder.
A photo of my wrist wearing a beaded bracelet that says ‘fight forever’, bought at the merch stand at an AEW wrestling show.

The Beith Street facade of the former Partick Fire Station in the west of Glasgow. Designed by James Miller in an Edwardian Queen Anne Revival style and built in 1906, this section was the engine house.

This time of year always has me thinking that I’m so unproductive - it’s dark already and I’ve done nothing! Not even got the tea on!!

The trouble I had finding Christmas crackers that contained a joke and not a motto (WTF?!) is rather alarming!!

(Yes, it’s November - but this year is a special one for us so I’m both excited and v organised!!)
