Before the Sun, the train, here by Tamar estuary. And it is the train, not a train: 57604 Pendennis Castle in GWR green, with red weight code roundel (as redundant as 1C50 headcode), Paddington to Penzance sleeper, not long after which Sun's rising, with childlike rays. #GoodMorning #Coffee anyone?

Sun rises behind the arch of Brunel's Bridge, between towers of Tamar Bridge, visible rays, like those of child's painting radiate from it's arrival, behind scattered, low, cloud into a mostly clear sky. To bottom right, the white painted houses close to estuary edge, and in the middle, twin lines of metal, the railway tracks, into Cornwall & towards Devon. Not a bad view, the sky aglow!

We (3) appear to be on holiday. There msy be water (& wine).

#GoodAfternoon from a grateful writer, thankful for missal from @hookland.bsky.social andvin consequence now a bearer of certain rights & privileges of the County! Now, where's the best #coffee in Hookland, I wonder?

A printed card, upon which are the words "To whom it may concern
This card is token given
By the Lird Lieutenant of
HOOKLAND
As a sign that...
Has been given
Right to Reside
Within the county
And may not be denied
Any liberties, Civilities
Or Freedoms enjoyed
Within its Borders"
Behind it is an unofficial map of the county, with annotations on red detailed this authors contributory locations.

#GoodAfternoon from Belfast, where Dr Moose, #TravelBuddy #Squidge & #CplCarrot take refreshment before the next leg of the journey home. The (inevitable) #coffee at Caffè Nero (other coffee retailers are available).

An offwhite anthropomorphic pram toy, with plushy, smiling, carrot across his lap, sits in the middle of a wooden table. To the left a red notebook, pen & obscured boarding pass. To the right a coffee cup (full, and cooling as I type!)

#GoodAfternoon all. Morning saw departure from #RPG con Continuum, a day earlier than usual. Now enjoying the inevitable #coffee with #TravelBuddy #Squidge & #CplCarrot before security check for flight to Belfast, in preparation for a certain wedding tomorrow...

An offwhite anthropomorphic pram toy & orange plush carrot recline on a disposable blue Caffe Nero coffee cup. They, and a red notebook & black pen, are on a brown wood outside table.

What's that #TravelBuddy #Squidge? An adventure? O, I think so... Continuum #RPG Con for a couple of days. Have company, dice, Wall of Heroes, will travel!

Evening all! After travels & be-robed sweltering, marking sacrament & ministry in unlikely Brutalist building, I repair to The Yard, accompanied by unsolicited Europop & migrant labourers' jollity, not to mention transport to past, elsewhere, what was, & may yet be. Featuring @hookland.bsky.social

On glass-topped outdoor table: from front left, Ronald Blythe's Akenfield (Penguin Classics edition), David Southwell's Hookland Fragments Volume One, and a hand-written notebook and pen, referred to by me, the author, as the Blue Book of Hookland. (Other content may feature). Also present are a full pint glass of water and an empty wine glass.

And again, as Sun's memory fades, a crunching on the step by the gate... #hedgehog

A spiny visitor amidst the detritus about the step to the gate.

An anthropomorphic off-white pram toy, apparently from Emirates Airlines, that we found squashed & mucky on road c.15 years ago. Punk hair, eyes, mouth, nose & navel, no less! Wears my @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social wristbands & neckerchiefs. My photogenic travel mascot (along with. #CplCarrot too)

Dr Moose (Liminal Animal, a creature of many worlds)@drmoose· Jun 28

#GoodMorning! Time for Dr Moose, #TravelBuddy #Squidge & #CplCarrot to hit the road. It's been a blast, but all good things must come to an end (& so must bad ones, if you think about it)! Onwards through Sunday Sunlight!

Dr Moose (Liminal Animal, a creature of many worlds)@drmoose· Jun 27

Compulsory #coffee post...

Rails vibrate, diesel engine rumbles, to reveal double-headed special, Derby to Penzance, with heritage class 37s (gloss black with red & white lining), and lots of coaches, chocolate & cream Pullman and blood & custard BR ones! This makes me one very happy balcony sitter! #UKRail #Heritage #Saltash

#GoodMorning all! Next stage of the journey with a wife to take to Exeter St David's railway station & then across to Plymouth in the company of #TravelBuddy #Squidge & #CplCarrot. Onwards!

In the meadow that doubles as beer garden I have been visited by a Small Blue. This is a win.

A small, pale blue, butterfly on ages skin, apparently resting. Wing undersides are very light blue, with scattered black spots. It seems content enough.

Day one of retreat draws to a close. I'm still not quite sure why I'm here, or what I hope the Spirit will unlock, but that's fine. I am not the only one needing direction, guidance, healing. Even just the peace is blessing. (Not that #TravelBuddy #Squidge & #CplCarrot need it, so far as I know!)

An offwhite anthropomorphic pram toy sits on a window sill next to an arty maybe onion-shaped thing, an orange carrot, with green 'hair' and black eyes & smile, across it's lap.

Show this to 18-year old me & ask me to guess where it applied to and I'd have probably said the Middle East or North Africa. 58-year old me looks and says "rather on the hot side for Northampton this week." Climate change, global warming, in plain sight.

I appear to have failed in statutory*, salutatory, duty. This is now being amended. A generally good day so far, featuring #coffee, exercise, conversation, and a long online meeting (during which I used no camera, to safeguard other participants' eyes**). * under Common Law ** pic for proof.

A rather vibrant shirt, blue background with red, yellow, & green foliage, and orange dinosaur. A black cross, outlined in steel, hangs from a leather bootlace, below a portion of grey beard.

Credo! I believe! (It's taken decades...)

An open rucksack, green, with which nestles "Credo. The Game of Duelling Dogmas" in an orange box.

Pick a Bond villain from the photos you already have on your phone. "No, Mr Bond. I think not..."

#GoodAfternoon! Dr Moose & #TravelBuddy #Squidge have arrived at #ChaosiumConUK. Accommodation secured, now to collect the Wall from the car & do Con registration. Onwards!

An offwhite anthropomorphic pram toy, adorned with wristbands for neckerchiefs sits on paperwork, atop a desk.

With my #RPG #Chaplain 'hat' on, I can now say I'm nearly ready for ChaosiumCon UK. The Wall of Heroes is up to date, though I still need ideas for my seminar. (These will come). @chaosium.bsky.social #TTRPG

I see you & raise you...

Admittedly the beard is longer & grey now, but...

A Gun Through Time. I recognise all, can name most, may have even drilled with & fired one. Time to be further educated by David Olusoga. Fine by me!

It's been an idea to visit here for a bit, once I discovered where it actually was, and it took the GLW to push a Friday afternoon visit to the pub to seal it. Most glad I did. Nice amber ale, 5% Sea Fury, flowing, & inspiration with it... Shame they're not open Monday evenings. Lucky it's Friday!

Dr Moose (Liminal Animal, a creature of many worlds)@drmoose· Apr 30

#GoodMorning all - while morning remains. Penultimate ceremony complete, and #coffee-fuelling ongoing at rather nice independent coffee roasters (though not to everyone's taste, I recognise). Now, at gap before 1pm's ceremony. Not really time (or appetite) to eat though...

I forgot to post this earlier, so #GoodAfternoon "all! A glorious day for a University Applicant Visit Day. There's been #coffee & it's delightful to be out and about. There are worse ways to mark a natal day!"

Dr Moose (Liminal Animal, a creature of many worlds)@drmoose· Apr 9

I thought I'd posted a GoodMorning, but appear to have not. However, all is/was not lost. Heeding the word of the Lord, according to King James, I noted the importance of holy smoke & locomotion (following the prophet Isaiah 6:1) and responded accordingly...
