Young Frankenstein (1974) and Dracula (1931), last weekend's pre Halloween B&W double feature.
First time watching Dracula, which looked great for a nearly 100-year old film.
Young Frankenstein is an old favorite. Such a good cast.

It seems that on the airport x-ray scanner, kulolo looks very much like explosive materials. The TSA guy had me clocked as a kulolo transporter, but they still had to pull and look inside the bag.

Local wildlife. A nene eyeing me, and a very friendly boxer getting scritches on her wiggly rump.

It's come to my attention that October 8th is both International Lesbian Day AND World Octopus Day. So #Earpers know what that really means: it's Horny Nicole Haught Day.

Personal favorite memories:
1. @lynnrachels.bsky.social discovering that there was a live mic on the bus.
2. The Didsbury Museum ladies and their home baked goods! Such hospitality.

PS Waverley, as seen from the Glasgow Science Centre.
I did not realize it at the time but she is an operating paddle steamer, part of the National Historic Fleet. Looking sharp for a ship pushing 80 years old.

Other stuff. Fish and chips. Pasties, pies, and rolls. Beef shoulder at Makars Mash Bar, where I sat next to a rail-thin girl who methodically laid waste to her gigantic lamb shank with mash, two appetizers, and beer without breaking a sweat. I bet she ordered dessert after I left.

Candies. Surprisingly, the tea cakes won out for me. I'm usually not a marshmallow person but they are so light.

Breakfast: Blood pudding. A really big breakfast with haggis and tattie scone. I think I only missed trying porridge and some square pork sausage thing.

Things I ate in Scotland, a thread.
The obligatory Irn Brus and Tesco sandwich. The Tesco was convenient, but I was really craving a hot lunch after a few days.

Let a visiting coworker use my office while I was away. Came back to find these little critters had taken up residence all over the place.
I think I found them all, but time will tell.

Mickey 17 was recommended by a friend, with no description or background provided. Found myself with a lot of time on my hands, and finally gave it a watch.
Good if you like dark humor! Pattinson did a very nice job as the Mickeys. With Steven Yuen, Toni Colette, and other familiars. #FilmSky 📽️
