More Fluttering Polythene
I've got a soft spot for this kind of thing:
The barbed wire appears like an air purifier, removing the plastic from the air...
Decadence
September is fully booked. Right to the end of the month. On the writing side, I have a month to sort out a completed second draft of Gobble. Towards the end of the month I am heading up to the Norfolk Broads where I hope to spend time with my daughter, who I haven't seen in nearly 2 years because of the current health climate. Whilst there, I hope to find some decent atmosphere to help inspire an actual ghost story from scratch, something I have long sort to do but is yet to materialise. Finally, I am going to create a wildlife pond for my magickal garden. You can find details of this latter project over on magickalgardening.co.uk. In the meantime, let's get the month off to a good start with a bit of sheer decadence - having a nice a mug of tea in the bath:.

Axolotl (2b)
I have been fascinated with axolotls since childhood, when I inherited an old wildlife book of strange animals. Unfortunately, I no longer have that book to share a picture of it, but one of the animals featured was of a leucistic axolotl. The image of this animal really piqued my interest and I could scarcely believe that such a weird-looking animal could exist in reality. Back in those days, there was no internet and I could find no further reference to such a thing as an axolotl throughout the entirety of my childhood. I believe that this was the first instance in my life that I felt the sense that there was something fascinating in the world that my mind had trouble grasping, and set up my interest in seeking out the extraordinary in the world.
