It's a great time for exploring, spring really kicks off in Stroud. Prepare for wild garlic.

It was extremely foggy up there this morning, got soaked just moving through it. I have endless walking recommendations if you need any!

On February 28, US missiles destroyed a girls' elementary school adjacent to an IRGC naval base in Minab, Iran. At least 165 people were killed, most of them schoolgirls aged 7 to 12. UNESCO calle...

Already seen that confirmed by someone who was a very early industry voice against this kind of shit, will try and find the link

NeoAncients Festival Stroud Music, Talks, Books, Art, Film, Ritual, Lore

Both festivals are great and an excuse to visit lots of places in Stroud very quickly. There is also this happening too neoancients.com

Also very recommend walking up to the top of Rodborough common at about 5am on Beltane for a nice pagan prog dance

If I only want to extinct a few dozen very specific people could you do it for a fiver?

Can I put it on klarna and get one now?

Ah boo, would've been good to see you!

Definitely a good one for a late, late night drink

A large cleaver is fixed permanently into a board with the word "Puddings" on it. The cleaver face is a menu with items written on it, including "banoffee".

Have you ever been threatened by a pudding menu?

Mauna Kea observatory above the clouds, mad telescopes on a mountain

A small wooden church, ceiling painted in muted tropical colours with a faux vaulted ceiling above the altar. Painted in 1899 with lead paint and never needed a touch-up

Suns out bums out, at the place of refuge

Pig is high af

Science mountain, painted church, wooden bums, cosmic pig

I think a lot of the time it's stuff we're doing online leading up to an event, perhaps without even realising it, that ad/data companies are *really* good at analysing. And also it's ad/data companies doing mad illegal shit until they get caught localmess.github.io

A green gecko with vibrant blue eyes and orange face stripes on the side of a bin with a big label that says SMOOT

SMOOT

Which set are you going for?

yes

Getting ready to serve yourself dinner and then realising you forgot to hit start on the rice cooker: immediate execution

A purple crocus emerges from some soggy grass, indicating summer is just days away

Tops off bbqs out it's happening

A giant sweetcorn playing a recorder

A very pinkly lit room with a group of people in a circle around 2 giant sweetcorns playing bangers

One of my favourite gigs from last year was watching a local duo dressed as sweetcorn playing bangers with a recorder and a lot of vocal loops. They've got various tour dates this year, you should go and see them.

A tiny dog in a tiny dog tunnel underneath a stone stile

A giant redwood tree in front of a fancy house

A sign for The Cat & Custard Pot pub. The cat is in the custard pot.

Went for a walk based purely on the novelty pub name, did not disappoint

+/- tolerance for drinking soy sauce, YMMV

Sadly can confirm. Every weekend I must endure savage take downs in exchange for scraps of music

A very dusty bottle with a handmade label of mostly illegible text, with just about discernable letters reading "Vanilla Bourbon Dream 2013"

I've had this bottle for nearly 10 years. I've carried it on international trips (and back again because sometimes you shouldn't drink everything). I've had it longer than my dog and my mortgage and it's somehow still drinkable and even a bit of Woodford reserve still going.

Almost a full 12 months to get the rest of your christmas cracker compendium sorted

What if you just booked Zyggurat to play the local pay-what-you-can community cafe that's also a bike repair and bouldering centre and the ticket sales paid for people to eat dinner who otherwise might not?

How did it sound?

A jigsaw, 90s illustrative style, ostensibly of the Seattle skyline and surrounding mountains and shorelines. Impossible to tell, because it is riddled with holes

- Lovely illustration ✔️
- Personal connection to the image ✔️
- Shipped across the seas by the in-laws ✔️
- FIVE FUCKING PIECES MISSING ✔️

Pack it in

Jim broke it up and called a rematch, same time next year

It's quite something. Looking forward to a second round of it later when I'm not already overloaded with food

I hope you get nice views at least!
