Shook things up a bit tonight with a new route on my better half's walking challenge.

Along which, we took in -

Brynmill Park:

Swansea University grounds:

Singleton Park:

The Pub on the Pond:

Swansea Rec, where we parked again, and which now hosts the visiting circus:

And One-Eyed Willies:

We then headed back via The Rainbow Wall:

Ghostly Crabs

Just finished my first draft of my crabby ghost story. Sat down with pen and paper this afternoon to jot down a few lines and was suddenly carried away until the tale reached its conclusion!

The Plough and Harrow

No steps for me this weekend as I worked overtime on both Saturday and Sunday. In fact, the only time I poked my nose out of the door was Sunday evening as Mrs P.L. had promised a friend that she would support him as he pplayed down on the live mic The Plough and Harrow:

Halloween Pop Funko 2025 - The Wolfman

Snuck a few spare minutes to get these 2 versions of The Wolfman photographed:

#caturday

This sight greeted me yrsterday morning when I went dowmstaors to het ready got work. Little fidjcat has been playing with this toy and called it her own since my children were young lol. 🙂

Bad

Not the best of days. Double dosed my ibuprofen so had to telephone 111 to find out all was okay. Then I ate out at The George in Mumbles...

The Geoge

Unfortunately, even though it was labelled vegan, thr butter they put on their 'Countryside Greens' was not dairy-milk free. 

This resulted in heavy sneezing on my walk back to the car, which soon blossomed in body-wide hive the size of five-pennyy bits, followed shortly therearter by an inching fit that threatened to push me to madness.

When1 reached home, I was good. for nothing and, wheezing, dropped some antihistamines and fell straight in bed.

Throbbing Ring-Toe

There is a definite chill creeping into the night and this late evening's walk necessitated a hat, hoody and winter coat to combat the cold.

The Observatory

The Observatory Staircase

No Sign

Guildhall

Brangwyn Hall

Secret Bar

Finally Reaching our Car -
Right Foot Ring-Toe Throbbing

A Beautiful Swansea Sunset

After my research/writing session, I met up with my lovely better half to do a whopping 20k step walk:

My wife's walking challenge is coming to close this weekend. I never thought I'd admit it, but I gonna miss them. I feel a lot healthier from the nightly walks that have filled my time. And I have also enjoyed out pub and bar visits. I have some overtime this weekend to help pay for all our meals and drinks we have consume whilst exploring.

Swansea Library

I took the opportunity to work on my ghostly giant crabs story for the next Guy N Smith fanzine down in the city library this evening. This will be my last ever visit to this location as the council are selling the building and the library is closing in a couple of day as it prepares to move into the city centre :(

Surely this is/was the beautifully located central library in the whole of the country?

I did a fair bit of crab research, as well as writing a several pages of the story itself as the sun sunk lower through the trees that line Swansea Bay:

An early evening very well spent :)

Another Walk Another Drink

Marina and SA2 time tonight for Mrs P.L.'s walking challenge:

Birthday Bro

My brother's birthday, so we took advantage of the location to take a stroll along the marsh road from Crofty to Llanrhidian we we took refreshments in the Welcone to Town Inn. Too dark for many fotos tho:

Frankie

I have been too busy of late to crack on with my annual Halloween Pop Funko fotoshoots, but I found time this evening to take my second pic of this year's funko crop:
