Treacle Miner, Northern Shopkeeper UK @firstagecomics.bsky.social Shop: Small-business stupidity, exploring, spooky stuff, tea, weather, water, maps, folklore, comics, books, chocolate, most stuff.
Lemon drizzle. First attempt at gluten-free cake - they're ok.
I might have known. New fence, new windows - the owners are selling the house. We can stay on as tenants apparently but still... it's unsettling. Anyway look at the rocks I dug up.
Creatures of Evil (1966, Philippines) Found this on Plex: vampires, ghostly romance and lots of colour.
Influx of large collectables this week - cleaning them up and putting some online. They look good in the shop for now but they need to find the right homes or they'll stare at me till xmas. ebay.us/m/fkyPyr
The lobbying for house-guinea pigs continues. Essential for lowering his blood-pressure apparently.
Attention would you look at my precious only child. A girl has turned up to the prom in a tractor driven by her grandad in black tie.

Gardening till gone 10pm. Because I have a proper fence after 6 years!! (There is still hedgehog access)
Local business breakfast about the regeneration project near me and Eden Project Morecambe. Asked about building repairs for the shop and a bathing pool at the Eden Project. I think it's a no-go on both counts.
There's no privacy when the fence is down. I just feel like the neighbours are always looking at me.
6 months on. Turn your face to the sun! 5 seconds max if you're like me. I'm too pale and Northern to be tilted this close thanks. #summersolstice
This second-hand sketch book I found! I'm making a pig's ear of drawing alongside Moose Allain but I'm having a great time. You can still buy it loads of places.
We're not that tiny in Lancaster! We're not! I could cross that square in two seconds. And there are no ancient crosses because a mad vicar toppled them over.
Arthur doesn't look happy but I'm not painting in my favourite shirt
"Opportunity only gives you knockers once!" - Elvira I can barely keep it together - the catalogues for ordering new comic collections are here. After several years I can stock new books again, alongside the old. I won't be buying just what I like, though. No.
The raspberry one is out. Needed. For.... because I'm digging a lot.
Corgi die-cast Batmobiles. I wonder if anyone will notice if I just take the 1940s ones home?
This is just a beautiful book. What a way to spend a rainy afternoon-off. @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social
