The Seafront Benches Are Popular Today The rain stopped for a while, and the skies brightened a bit, so the Promenade was fairly busy, and the seafront benches overlooking Porty Beach were filed.

The close I got to the dandelion, the more the bristles started looking like fireworks

After various errands I paused for a break & treat myself in wee café nearby, & read of my book. Used to be a very friendly, young Turkish lad running it, but it's changed name & owners, although identical inside (even the same crockery). New folks were very friendly too, tho.

Huge soft spot for the original

Just ranked all five Phantasm films from silver spheres to "BOY!" 🚀 The 1979 original is a nightmare masterpiece. Ravager is... well, it exists. But even the terrible ones are worth watching. Full review with questionable puns attached. 👇

Managed back to work okay today, and had the pleasure of introducing another young reader to @louiestowell.bsky.social 's Loki when seeking suggestions, and a chap discussing @garethlpowell.bsky.social with me as he chose Jitterbug. Good day!

This evening's viewing distraction: treated myself to a restored cut of Carpenter's classic The Fog on Blu-Ray.

Flooded area next to Bamburgh Castle, which put me in mind of Tennyson's Morte d'Arthur. For some reason this is one of my most viewed pics on Flickr (186,000 +)

Okay, unlike yesterday's truncated walk, today managed entire gentle afternoon out. Filmhouse then chum arranged to meet me right after in the café-bar, which is one of my fave places in my city, so much needed morale boost

Have enjoyed Alice performing this live. Much fun

It's beautifully made

So far venturing out has fared better than yesterday's truncated walk attempt. Now ensconced in @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social to watch 70mm print of The Testament of Ann Lee.

Just good to get out after last couple of days, & be in the FH.
