Two bands I love are going on a european tour this year, and I'm sorry, but this is the most random set of UK cities I've ever seen
I keep bringing Baby Queen weird things to sign and she keeps saying yes
Had a great day at Heaton Pride Markets selling books from @thebraag.bsky.social

Seeing Marina tonight so heres your reminder that I have a Venus Fly Trap tattoo because when I woke up from anaesthetic in 2021 my first thought was Oh Marina's new single was released while I was under the knife!
Book 11: Legends of the Condor Heroes I adored this. The mad adventures in wulin. The insane characters. The rambling unconnected plots. I can clearly see the DNA of the great chinese classics in this writing. I'm devastated the sequel hasn't been translated yet
Book 11.25: The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Volume 2: A Bond Undone In the original chinese, Condor Heroes is 1 book, even though the translation is 4. I'm counting it as 1. A wonderful continuation of a book I am deeply in love with. I am realising as I read it however that this book has no plot
I found my first four leaf clover on May Day at dawn in the ruins of a medieval castle
Book 12: Folkish Look, there's nothing I can say here that won't be biased. This was written by my actual wife. So don't listen to me. Listen to Rachel Mann, Kimberly Campanello, and Richard Skelton, and listen to me when I tell you they're telling the truth
Book 11: The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Volume 1: A Hero Reborn A friend lent this to me since I've been reading so many chinese classics, and I absoloutely loved this. You can really feel the DNA of Outlaws and JTTW in this. Adored it. So furious at how it ends Ive immediately bought volumes 2-4
my wife is away for work so I keep just repeating this to my flatmate
On Tuesday, a church I'd never heard of in a city I couldnt point to on a map in a country I never think about was demolished, as part of a wider pattern of removing the traces of the citys Armenian heritage. I don't know why this particular one stuck in my mind. Last night I rebuilt it in Minecraft
Book 10: Dick Tucker, Detective in Drag: A Thot Without A Prayer This is a reboot of a comic that was among the first presents I ever bought my now wife. It's very silly and sweet and funny.
Book 9: True Grit I was SO charmed by the MC. Diagnosing her with the very particular kind of autism only found in girls of 14. She is so stubborn and so unwilling to bend her rules. Everything has to be done Her Way. The adults in her life treat her like a unique specimin who is both adult & child
Book 8: Tao Te Ching I read a second translation because I felt I wanted to really understand the first one. I enjoyed the commentaries and felt they were enlightening but overall the previous translation spoke to me more. Maybe it was just written in a way my brain could more easily interpret.
I guess when I show you these things it's hard to get a perspective on the relative size of the new town to the overall world (which I've been working on for 14 years btw!!) This should help
