Voting as Fire Extinguisher When the haunted house catches fire: a moment of indecision. The house was, after all, built on bones, and blood, and bad intentions. Everyone who enters the house feels that overwhelming dread, the evil that perhaps only fire can purge. It’s tempting to just let it burn. And then I remember: there are children inside. - Kyle Tran Myhre

Didn't expect to get down to the nudist beach again this year!

Trains seem to shake poems out of me - maybe it's the enforced stillness with just my thoughts and nothing to be doing.

Day 93 - Lovely day with the boy, and when @vickycalleway.bsky.social was finishing work he asked to see the ducks.
Bundled off for a drive to Fishbourne Meadows; fed the ducks, had a paddle, had a pint of ESB - what a perfect summers evening!

One of the reenactors in our group makes pickled plums - apparently a thing in the 17th century.
Sweet vinegar, spices and stoned plums - it's really good!
Created a monstrosity - Orlock Lugger Servitor - with a de-nurglified Blood bowl Bloater, Orlock arm, Sororitas H. Bolter and a leg made from various bits
