I'll mostly be posting about table top RPGs, CGI, photography and writing but also probably whatever random thought crosses my mind

Liverpool (the place not the FC)

I do back end website development and accessibility for a living

The rain wasn't that bad till I was almost at the bus but those last 25m and I'm soaked

Unexpected hitchhiker picked up somewhere on my loop round the country today

Unfortunately I can't tell from scent if it's a Liverpool or West Midlands snail

Playing occasionally for the last week just doubled my previous Dorfromantik high score

Love the art style and a similar map making tool could be fun for RPGs.

Ithell Colquhoun at Tate Britain - artist with connections to various occult organisations who left largest collection of occult materials to National Trust (now held by Tate) - odds of her turning up as an NPC in Telefantasy RPG seems remarkably high

Edward Burra at Tate Britain - lots of NPC inspiration in the earlier part of this one especially for CoC Harlem

Birthday dinner - 3 new curries from Madhur Jaffrey's Curry Easy

Tandoori-style Duck Breast (really nice)

Sri Lankan Rice with Fresh Coriander and Lemon Grass (really nice)

Swiss Chard with Ginger and Garlic (OK)

Unplanned Birthday treat trip to Walker Art Gallery for John Moors Prize exhibition

Because some idiot* forgot to get all ingredients for curry

Having a bit of a clear out

Not quite sure why I still have research notes and multiple annotated drafts of You're Only Supposed to Blow the Bloody Doors Off for Valkyrie

Heavy enough to do someone an injury if you hit them with it

This is the only illustration of the tower proposed in 1979 for the southern end of Liverpool's South Docks. If it had been built it would have been 558m tall. The scheme would have cost £412 million for the scheme covering the same area as Aquarius City.

Digging into the never built Aquarius City development for the Liverpool Waterfront

Privately planned from the '65 by 1970 it would have seen the demolition of the south docks to build 10 million square feet of office. The docks would have been converted to underground car parks with pools on top

We're doing a photos of pets thing at work but I don't have a pet so say hello to Aunty

I was thinking I'd run out of RPGs to read before Dragonmeet but the 7th Sea: The Price of Arrogance should fill some of that gap

I've found the heat works as a way to cure the urge to work on replacing the grouting on my super sized mosaic
