Ooh, I love the sound of that! What you've already done is wonderful. But I'll still be disappointed if it doesn't happen.
Me too, although my dvd is frustratingly messed up in the middle; every time I watch it the movie dies along with her husband.

Your kindness is killing it. 🖤

Definitely worth the suffocating heat. And you definitely need to finish this. (Double Indemnity?)

‘...streaking the darkness radiantly!’ — from ‘Mutability’ by Percy Bysshe Shelley I wish I could write something beautiful that drifts one along dreamlike a haunting song that breathes life into inner eyes grants the heart a perfect sigh of ache or contentment enriched eyes dazzled as if with starlight bewitched as of dappled light beneath Beech trees storm-soaked skies tempestuous seas the poesy of moonlight drifting Autumn leaves of twilight’s fall the scent of a breeze the dark music of the flowing stream of rumble and murmur an enchanting daydream something soul-shifting not out of immodesty because I wish to gift others the chance to see to feel such gentle repose and exquisite beauty as Kenneth Grahame Mary and Percy Shelley Lord Byron and Oscar Wilde have gifted me. [Monday 17th November 2025]

Always. gentle thoughts for you ever honest born of love and hope and truth ever wishing upon a star for a glimmer of something beautiful to reach and fill your weary heart.

This entire year... and maybe shoot it in the head for good measure. I hope next week will be better for you. x

She's awesome, and this is definitely your look.

I guess if you want to dress like that every day, you'd have to make your own clothes. Which is why I knit... and still dress like a bum. That guy is sartorially awesome. I tip my top hat to him.

Agreed!

You're such a bastard! I love it.

If only more people were this immaculately dressed! I'd like the number of this dapper wolf's tailor.

I'm retired/disabled and spent much of my adolescence repeatedly rewinding and rewatching the same VHS until someone could change it for me. My list will always be long, my books and dvds always within reach!

I can reliably confirm that I have no idea what I'm talking about.

It must be a mile long by now. Luckily, I have nothing better to do!

Well that's alright then. A lot of films could be improved by a gigantic wolf. Probably. I'll have to add them to my ridiculously long list. I'm glad they were not shitty after all! I'm watching Night of the Hunter next, A Very Long Engagement and then maybe The Boston Strangler (never seen it).

Good! Were there 19th century zombies? No doubt this 'Billy Burke' person did a fine job but it's hard to beat an undead witch. Mary William Ethelbert Appleton Burke. Sounds like a good name for a cat. @wsstamey.bsky.social if you ever need a name for a cat... Yeah, I've not had any sleep.

Ooh, I've not seen them. I looked Red Riding Hood up on IMDB and thought 'Glinda from the Wizard of Oz is still alive!?' Right. Billy Burke, not Billie Burke. But her father was Billy Burke too, so now I'm suspicious. Enjoy the vampires and the potential zombie red riding hood movie!

Ha! You're clubbing me to death with your witty persiflage (I had no idea such a word existed, I need to use it more often).

Yay! Which shitty movies?

My favourite too! And I don't care who knows!

Absolutely. But the latte would still be a blessing. Well, I'm good at incontinently sandblasting this place with my logic. And then trying to delete it before anyone reads it. You're welcome.

Well, the argument's based on logic. The answer isn't. I was genuinely considering that plus debilitating injury just to forage for a pinecone. Still am. Despite lactose intolerance and not being a coffee drinker, I think a latte makes it doubly worthwhile. You can't fault my logic, there isn't any.

I'm a puddle! Both in depth and because your kind words have melted me. You're incredibly sweet. I appreciate your humour, thoughtfulness, beautiful poetry, your every word more than I can say. That you took the time to make this post says a lot. You deserve all this love and more in return. x

So sweet.

💛💛💛

Definitely worth the lactose fallout. Possibly not worth the potential interrogation and deportation to a random country not of my choosing because I sign too many petitions. But worth considering.

Well, it obviously worked.

You're lucky, and she's equally lucky to have you.

🖤

She is clearly awesome.
