Get ready for some pictures of where I live. I decided it would be interesting to search the #woolton tag and see if anything came up. Anyway, this is just down the road from me, I pass it a lot in summer because its on the way to the park. Looks nice in winter too when it snows!

Fun. feat. Hayley Williams: Somebody That I Used To Know (Cover)


This morning Fun. performed an acoustic cover of Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ for BBC’s Radio 1 Live Lounge in London. 5,000 miles away, Hayley Williams of Paramore sang with the band via digital transmission from a studio in Los Angeles. This is the first time Radio 1 has had a performance from two artists in separate studios. Listen to their version above. What do you think?

5 Star Review of The Travelling Circus of Lacrimosa

Now, considering the trend for authors on Amazon to write massive numbers of reviews for themselves, and given the fact that this was apparently written by Bruce Wayne, you have every right to be skeptical, but honestly I did not write this. In fact, I will be doing a video blog soon about fake reviews as they generally piss me off massively, and this is legit - as are all my reviews for all my novels, as is evidenced by the fact that I don’t have a huge number (100 plus 5 star reviews...

Through the Window

Darkness of night daubed behind panes of glass -


But I stand in the light of the room,


Separated from the night


And watch with muted disgust


As the insect hurls itself at the transparency keeping it in the dark.


Half crawling, its spluttering wings flitting horribly;


A grotesque, fluid body sewn to the vile monster head


With sickening, nightmare, mirror eyes greedy to the light.




Sympathy? To what condemned itself? Its hideous self.




Persistently, never ceasing, throwing at the glass, at the

Abeo's Flute

“With a dull, echoing thud, the wooden rowing boat came to a stop against the riverbank. Those days, those long vanished, golden days, were a time of mass movement, of travel; the world was alive in a way which today it no longer is. I recall vividly the splashing of the oars as the Old Man wrenched them from the river, shattering the silver glass. On that day, the sky was blue, a blue as deep as the sea.

Baboons from Knowsley Safari Park in Merseyside give Hyundai’s i30 hatchback a wear-and-tear test. The monkeys simulated the punishment that the children of a typical family subject a car to: jumping up and down on seats, pushing and prodding buttons and opening and closing storage bins.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Knowsley Safari park! It..just wow - I really do love the place, used to go so much when I was little. I know it was against the rules (there were big an...
