Our day out in London was very tiring, but worth the effort. I only managed to snap a few pictures due to my phone being possessed.

Neon pink sign of the BFI logo attached to the side of the BFI Southbank building. Rare books in a window display at Jarndyce Bookshop, including ICE by Anna Kavan, which would drain £1000 out of your bank account should you wish to purchase this hardcover edition with dust jacket.

Post an iconic duo:
George is a pink hippopotamus puppet. Zippy is a fictional character on the British children's television programme Rainbow. Zippy is a 5-year old orange puppet with a rugby-ball-shaped head, blue eyes and a zip for a mouth, hence his name. Rainbow Wiki!

You have inherited a movie theatre/cinema, what’s your first double feature?
A man’s face peers out from behind a hand cranked film camera on a tripod. There’s also a shadow image in side profile of the man’s torso looking through the camera. A gothic woman lies on a chez lounge, above the wooden panels the blade of a scythe mirrors the sleeping figure.

Helen and I met up with John Skipp last year and he had a cool curated shelf. I’m kinda more excited to see your shelf than hear about WorldCon.

A fantastic send up of the Tangerine Nightmare, thanks to retro British TV and little wordplay.
Donald Trump spoof in the style of Trumpton the 60’s U.K. animation for kids mimicking the fire brigade call featured in that show… Donald Trumpton skew, spew, barmy haircut, bigot & smug.
