Hi why not listen to my doom band Djinn And Miskatonic's 2024 EP, Paleo? I'm only the bassist but I compose most of the music and some of the lyrics (I mention this because I'm proud of it)

I'll be one of a rotating roster of musicians here, and perform songs of wintery weirdness from 1:30-2:00!

Really nice landscape paintings here, which are going for a fraction of what they should go for...
These are originals, not prints.
I've got my eye on one (with my other eye on my own blank canvasses, gathering dust).
Still loads of original paintings available for only 0.99 no reserve.
Just a few more days left for the auction.
As you know, I paint little landscapes and some abstract artworks. I'm having a studio clear-out. All Auctions start at just 0.99. might make a nice wee Christmas present for someone.

Today's 10K was an absolute grind. Then I tacked on another 2K to get me to the city centre where I'd a parcel to collect. Waiting for the bus then was very cold.
Hot shower when home, and now on the sofa with a hot water bottle 'neath my legs.

Second outing of the day: a piano + harp concert (Scott Flanigan & Grainne Meyer) in Sailortown's St Joseph church. It was really special, and I was in company of excellent friends!

Fun (though blustery) afternoon in Carrickfergus.

Why he first wanted the Epstein Files to be public and now no longer? Because, as a megalomaniac he thought he had a very special relationship, but now he found out he was just another sucker.

(I dreamed of Trump abdicating last night - why cannot I dream of Manderley like normal people?)

Yeh... You might learn something from someone who is not like you.
Another woke opinion of mine is that queer visibility is also good for us cishet people. Because no one's really that straight and once you're comfortable with that, and with all the different ways people find themselves, there actually is a bit less misery in the collective human condition.

This is one of my favourite mugs (not in daily use)...
It's a satyr - I fancy it's been modelled after Vincent Price, though...

Below 10 °C - definitely getting too nippy to be running in shorts (the stiff wind didn't help). Still, that's another 6k on the counter!

So the guy who hosts the fb page of my birth village has taken to 'enhancing'/colouring the photos with AI.
My critique of this was NOT appreciated.
But man, what are you doing to my people!...

I'm a FIEND for Wuthering Heights, and I like a fair few of the adaptations. I don't want to be that guy, but this one seems to completely miss the point on several counts.

Good grief!

Finally downloaded Strava, as it tracks runs by GPS...
But I'm not sure whether the granular info, including time/km is going to make it too competitive for me, and take the fun out...

Today is Saint Martin's Day, and I've got my lantern out.
My dad made it from a biscuit tin when I was very little, and it has withstood some very foul Dutch weather in its days.
