I quite enjoy these little windows into the minds of the wild assortment of folk we follow. I'm sure we all end up looking deranged to some people, and maybe get the odd nod of approval if we're lucky.
Post the last 4 albums you listened to.

After the mind bending experience of Annihilation, book 7 was The Reddening by Adam L G Nevill. A brutal and blood-drenched jaunt along the coast of Devon.

I thought that last one looked familiar. This was used on the cover of the album "A Feast on Sorrow" by URNE. Amazing photos.

Did H.R. Giger get inspiration for the design of the Xenomorph while walking atop The Roaches in Staffordshire? Entirely plausible, right?

Having seen many people's 2024 book lists I decided to pull my finger out and get back to reading actual physical books this year. Book 1 down: "Between Two Fires" by Christopher Buehlman. Anyone have any good books on the go?

Just had a wonderful few hours wandering through Delamere Forest in the mist. The waters of Blakemere Moss looked like something from another world, with the water and sky both enveloped in a perfectly uniform sea of mist.

2024 recap according to YouTube Music. I would say melancholy rather than weepy, and I'm a bit surprised to see Elden Ring in there but this mostly checks out. Surprised no System of a Down.

Listening to this episode reminded me of taking this photo across Doxey Pool in the most atmospheric conditions imaginable. This is one of a number of bodies of water claimed to be the home of Jenny Greenteeth. She wasn't in on this occasion.
