A very hot and sweaty weekend spent fanning myself constantly. Saw Pulp again which was magic. Didn't get much #writing done over the past few days. Only managed about 80 odd words this weekend but better than nowt.
Onwards to a more productive week!

About to send off a roll of film. I've had a run of bad luck the past year or so shooting on film while testing out some old cameras. Jammed shutters, film disasters, film with just nothing on etc...so keeping everything crossed. This time I went for the Kodak Ekhtar half frame. 📸

A great time travelling around Italy this past week. Feeling refreshed and ready to focus on #writing with a few ideas that are brewing for short stories after my trip.

Spent the weekend being flung about on rollercoasters while screaming in terror at #AltonTowers - Wicker Man was my fave & amazing in the dark! Nemesis was nearly the end of me.
Now normal service resumes with a busy week of #writing ahead of me and a Point of Scene due for my play!

Finished off the birthday celebrations by getting dressed up and going out for an epic curry. An excellent week off and even managed to squeeze some writing in on the train to London earlier this week. Back to consistent #writing next week. Let's do this!

Planted some seeds this morning then promptly dropped the entire tray in the porch. Headed outside to cut stuff back & was attacked by a climbing rose. Not sure if the garden looks better or worse.
I'm not very good at #gardening, so it's nice to see the snowdrops are doing the hard work for me.

Gladiator is one of my all time favourite films, and #GladiatorII did not disappoint. I'm ready for the extended edition now though...
Oh, and a brief glimpse of the pyramids was a nice, unexpected treat. 🥹

Hey! I'm Shell. I research & write about the reception of ancient Egypt, graveyards, Bonomi Jr & spooky stuff.
On Wednesday nights I drink tea, write weird radio & stage scripts and type up my stash of mediocre short stories.
