I did however notice there was a difference between Granny in Equal Rites and Granny in Wyrd Sisters / Witches Abroad, and had put it down to character development.

I ... didn't realise that split had happened. Oops And that's having read Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, and Witches Abroad, more than once (albeit a good while ago).

Got Heilung on the go today, here's Anoana and about to listen to their gig LIFA: Iotungard whilst I finally do the painting in the bathroom I've been putting off doing.

What a lovely post. Thank you.

In my various furtlings here, I saw a thread titled "Is 'preparedness' a state of mind?" by @GreyCat (thank you) and picking up on that idea, a so-called prepping channel that appears to intentionally stoke a sense of fear and threat is unhelpful in that regard.

In honesty I would prefer not to see alarmist clickbait headlines in attention-grabbing colours like the one visible in the image of that video. One of the things I've been keeping an eye on is less whether the site is left-wing, right-wing, centrist etc, and more the extent to which its...

I wish I could have been a Scout, I didn't get on very well at Guides. It was all confined to the school hall so it was more like a youth club with uniforms, and we didn't do anything at all outside. My nerdy knowledge of the Great Lakes in the north Americas was not well received by the Guide...

Hi and welcome :) I'm in the south west too (Devon)

this reminds me of "It takes a long time to understand nothing" that I saw in Peanuts

I'm coming to this a couple of months late (or ten months early, take your pick) yes, Die Hard is a Christmas film. also love: Muppet Christmas Carol and the Doctor Who Christmas special, of which there sadly wasn't one for 2025 (hopefully there will be one this year). I could have dug out the...
