I bought myself an accordion at the flea market. I don't know anything about accordions, and the funny thing is, because I'm coming from playing a hurdy gurdy, I thought the fact that it made a continous sound without any keys being pressed meant that it wasn't broken XD

I saw Shrek months early, special test viewing. It was 2001, remember, no youtube, flip phones, low bandwith internet, barely any social media, spoilers don't exist. No one had any idea what to expect.
I have to this day never seen an audience laugh so hard and so earnestly, it was such a high.

I could just resubscribe but I don't want to do that in case it makes it worse-I didn't get any warnings about payments not going through. >:(

I'm editing and the website I subscribe to for royalty free music just zonked out and reverted me to a free account. ARGH! I WAS IN THE ZONE! >:(

Remember the riots when David Harbour's character on Stranger Things got out of the gulag all malnourished?

Photo of a small mound in a rocky forest landscape. There is a pagan cult site with a sort of small rock cairn built on top.

Photo on top of the mound. To the left is a pyramid of stacked rocks. In the background,a large boulder,  trees and a distant landscape. Runes and symbols are carved into some of the rocks.

The mountain gave me its best as it always does. I found a sacred place to rest at for a while.

Sometimes the cheapest hotel is a tacky roadside terror with furniture and fixtures from the 90s. Sometimes, at the same price, it's an early 18th century wattle and daub baroque building.

Someone once told me they couldn't tag me in photos of a project we both worked on because my insta wasn't brand managed and it would be bad for their SEO. I wasn't offended, just perplexed that was their priority.

Understandable. I can't be bothered worrying. Had a tick twice in my life, which I reckon is well below the odds, and I'm okay, so I pretend I'm not in danger.

At the beach yesterday. found a bit of driftwood to whittle. Alas, back inland now, though Kurpie is just as pretty as Kaszuby.
