A Sad Tale I'll Never Tell

London Night Light

 An unbearably hot and muggy night, where I seem to have become fascinated by the London night light that seeped through to curtains intothe bedroom:

London Image Dump

 Well, it seems I am back in London on one of the UK's hottest ever days! Lovely apartment and views though:

And, as my lovely offspring partied in the O2, I captured the scene outside the building on video:

Severn Bridge

It's time for a family get-together in London. So here is the obligatory pic of us crossing The Severn Bridge as we cross into England.

Nazichauns!!

So, the Nazichauns have arrived and have settled onto my bookshelves, snuggled next between this edition of Dracula and The Monster Club.

I still can't quite my believe my luck grabbing this highlight of pulp horror fiction publishing for the price of just one night at a Premiere Inn. The question now is, where does my book collection go from here? Especially as I am now in love with my Kindle Scribe! 

Here comes the sun...

 Making the most of my early release from work, as part of my after surgery care, today by enjoying the garden with Mrs Pixie-Led and Ms fudjcakes:

Shine On...

 My Peyotes now have their own lights 😎

Les Fleurs

Mexican fleabane

Whilst the Mexican Fleabane is currently on form, its these roses, grown from a cutting taken from the rose growing from is our previous home that has now became the best plant in our garden at the moment.

The Monster Club by R Chetwynd Hayes

 I am feeling a little under the weather today. Gonna wallow in my misery under a blanket on the settee and read the very entertaining:

Closing Collection with a Question

 I have now completed my Armada Ghost book collection, but with the addition of today's  rejigged cover art reprints has left me with a question to which I can find no answer. 

Everyone who has made it a mission to collect this anthology series of ghost stories soon discovers there are several alternate reprints amongst their number with variant re-imaginings of their cover art. These can be seen in my Collection page here.

That stated, I have also noted that these Series 2 reprints also appear under various imprints. As seen below, these imprint versions are almost identical to their Armada counterparts, with the exception of the deletion of their title's reference to Armada.

 

 

The name of these Armada alternatives appear under a dragon logo:

Until this morning's final Armada Ghost Book delivery, I had been under the impression that when these Dragon version of these books appeared, Armada had already folded and had sold the right to their design to content to this alternate publisher. It was the only explanation I could muster to explain the existence of these non-Armada editions. But now I can only assume that my assumption must be incorrect. Why? Look at the price-tags on the Armada and Dragon versions of the same book. The Armada version is a fair chunk pricier than the Dragon books. Which is, frankly, frustrating as I can't understand why these non-Armada books exist?

Does anyone know?

Paw-lickin' Good

 We got a Maccy D delivered last night. The delivery guy included someone else's order of chicken nuggets. Unable to eat them ourselves, we stuff them out as a wildlife treat. And sure enough, within minutes of putting them out, one of our garden foxes took the lot:

Plant of the Moment...

... is this Lampranthus:

It actually startled me when I opened the back door today!
