Still stuck at home with whatever this is. Supposed to be planning out our xmas but I'm window-shopping.
Out of print, signed & extortionate!

Stuck at home with another bug so I'm organising shop pics. 10-year anniversary of the comic shop in 2016. My daughter is Batgirl and a friend is Green Lantern. I'm gathering all this together for 2026.

Getting towards Xmas & birthday season so I've been putting this round the family chats again. Worth a try.

Peeking at the new collection. Previous owner went to signings and looked after their comics well! Been round some other small retailers & cafes today, swapping posters and networking. Or as I call it having a right good bitch #smallbusiness #comics #SHEsnobetterthansheoughttobe

Exciting!!!! Taken on a really good comic collection this morning. These are just the books - racing to get these out on sale for tomorrow.

From today. Poundland materials because I wasn't sure if I'd like inking at all.

There was an APPLE?
Terry’s of York’s famous Chocolate Orange was born in 1932. Its Chocolate Apple, launched in 1926 (which apparently didn't taste of apple), was discontinued in 1954 to allow more Oranges to be produced.

My room needs decorating badly but ignoring that - my 'new' bookcase is in! All the books here are mine, but I really thought I had more to my name. I suppose I read mostly out of the library or borrow from the shop.

Unsettling film at the Dukes cinema tonight - a haunting from the point of view of Indy the dog (who was brilliant). A bit MR James, the story, I thought. #goodboymovie

Trad-wifing it today. Picked the last of the apples barefoot. Now making pumpkin soup and roasting the seeds. Whatever's left will be strained, dried, and woven into underwear.

Went to a ruined abbey and came back with this ghost. And now it wants feeding? I thought having a ghost would be cheap.

Train trip to Furness Abbey with family. Daughter is doing 'ruins' in art so I thought we'd have a look. Had to walk about a mile out from Dalton station but it was worth it. The monks had diverted streams down different channels so of course I had a great time. Found a green man in the museum.
