Lovely day spent with dear friends who came through to town just to spend time with me after medical news. Hugely appreciated at the best of times, even more right now because, frankly, I bloody well need it.

Best comic shop in the UK, no question! Happy birthday!
40 years ago today we first opened our doors, at our inaugural site on Great Russell Street, opposite the British Museum. Originally dealing predominantly in back-issues, we’ve grown to host all aspects of the culture of comics, weathered the tumult of the industry and settled in to 1 Berwick St.

Desperately looking for anyone in Scotland to foster a 2 year old female cat named Bambi. Incredibly affectionate and friendly. Indoor-only. Whether temporary (a few weeks) or longer term.
She's going to be put to sleep otherwise -- due to a heart issue that won't affect her for another 12 months
