Griff Gristle has had his diving helmet removed by spectral skeletons bursting out under the ground beneath his feet. He is fighting them off of him with Gungir, his spear, as he is frantically trying to hold his breath.

Griff is diving down into the depths chasing after a spirit over a series of panels, but a red mystic cloud races up from the shadows and envelops him.

Griff stands small and insignificant in his diving suit in the bottom left of the image as a huge ruined underwater temple gives off megalophobic vibes before him.

I'm into my 5th year of no-mow for most of the garden. Started when I strained my back, I simply couldn't keep up. We now plant trees instead, so now there is a thriving ecosystem for butterflies, moths, insects & birds. We even have nesting doves & Great Yellow bumblebees this year!

I like a wire... that said, the kid dropped their new iphone in a rock pool the other day, completely submerged for 2 or 3 mins before they noticed.

Still works. Amazing.

If the polls are accurate, UK isn't done with magical thinking quite yet.

I'm not sure how I'd manage an ICE vehicle now, so used to automatic EVs after 8 years. Zero clutch control these days I suspect?

Ouch. Did you get a replacement vehicle?

Joy. There seems to be a putrifying rodent in the wall nest to my desk. One of the fringe benefits of living in a hundred year old house with 3 foot thick walls.
