My sister last night: The Beatles, Searchers, Everly Brothers, Gene Pitney, Ralph McTell, Bob Dylan. Best of all, launching her own album of funny & beautiful songs about growing up in Bolton listening to all of them. I know she always wanted to be on TOTP but she's made it as far as I'm concerned.

Stuck at home with another bug so I'm organising shop pics. 10-year anniversary of the comic shop in 2016. My daughter is Batgirl and a friend is Green Lantern. I'm gathering all this together for 2026.

My room needs decorating badly but ignoring that - my 'new' bookcase is in! All the books here are mine, but I really thought I had more to my name. I suppose I read mostly out of the library or borrow from the shop.

Unsettling film at the Dukes cinema tonight - a haunting from the point of view of Indy the dog (who was brilliant). A bit MR James, the story, I thought. #goodboymovie

Trad-wifing it today. Picked the last of the apples barefoot. Now making pumpkin soup and roasting the seeds. Whatever's left will be strained, dried, and woven into underwear.

Went to a ruined abbey and came back with this ghost. And now it wants feeding? I thought having a ghost would be cheap.

Train trip to Furness Abbey with family. Daughter is doing 'ruins' in art so I thought we'd have a look. Had to walk about a mile out from Dalton station but it was worth it. The monks had diverted streams down different channels so of course I had a great time. Found a green man in the museum.

Found this picture of two of my heroes together last night! Looks like the premier of Dracula AD1972.
