I was out for a walk near St Fillans a few years back, crested a rise, and there were these bad boys lying in wait. The quizzical one is my favourite.

That's a great photo. Here's a hand drawn cover of a mix tape Jane made for me round about that time.

The versions of 'Are Friends Electric?' and 'Death Disco' on this one are excruciating.

Thanks for answering. I can't find my original of All fall down, but Jeopardy has this inner liner and the sleeve is rough rather than glossy. Trying to justify getting the 3 new issues as mine are very 'well loved'

Do the reissues of from the lion's mouth have a gatefold sleeve like the original? Just curious. If not, do they have a lyric sheet instead?

Took a trip down the Ayrshire coast. Really liked the way this random phone snap turned out. Snowy mountains of the Isle of Arran in the distance.

I was out for a walk on the Ayrshire coast. It was reminiscent of a certain album cover but with the snowy mountains of Arran in the distance.

It's a little known fact that Santa drops the bags of presents off on Arthur's Seat before coming back to deliver them when everyone has gone to bed. Season's greetings, whichever way you do or don't celebrate.

Varied selection of stamps on my mail this morning. I much prefer these to the regular barcode ones.

Had a walk along the new Roseburn to Dundee Street cycle path which opened today. It looks fairly indestructible. #Edinburgh

Nice collection. Do we have to guess what's under FALAA, or is it this?

I so wanted Haunted House for Xmas but received Ghost Train instead. I still have it although it's not to hand so this is someone else's picture. It was a bit crap because the cardboard base was warped and the cogs didn't meet properly.

Today's charity shop find. It feels appropriate to go and sit in a boozer somewhere to read it.
