Guy N Smith Halloween Lego Tribute

Working on a special Halloween Guy N Smith Lego tribute. Here is how far I have got so far:

So far, Ihave covered Doomflight, Dead Beat, The Slime Beast, The Pony Riders and Alligators. Still room to squeeze plenty more  in before the big day...

Rainforest by Michelle Paver

I do love a good Michelle Paver ghost story 👻 and today I received a new one, signed by the author, packaged like the treasure it is and handed to me personally by my jolly postman 🙂

Halloween 2025 Pop Funkos

 Here is the last of this year's Halloween Pop Funko phographs. This one needs no introduction and was photographed during a rare bout of insomnia created by work stress:

Halloween Pop Funkos - Pinnochio

Yes? I am 100% of the opinion that Pinnochio is a horror story.

And there is no changing my mind on the topic.

Mrs P.L.'s Walking Challenge: Day 30

Tonight was the final night of my better half's walking challenge. Leaving the house at 6.30, we got home at two minutes to midnight to maximise her step. Here are tonight's pics from the walk.

This friendly feline was a firm favourite sight of this evening's 23k step challenge.

The Brunswick was the penultimate beverage of the month-long step count. Very quiet tonight, but a real cosy boozer.

We then headed to the No-Sign so Mrs P.L. could finally taster her fist Murphy's in years.

The bartender lit the fire for which, which although was a little too comforting...

...Which meant we had to skidaddle to make every step count by walking all the way home by midnight. This was not helped by tonight being the start of Divali, which illuminated Swansea Bay by a mesmerising display of firework.

Reaching The Uplands, the lateness of the hour made us forego our planned last beverage of the night and up our pace dramatically as we hit the hill!

I was exhausted by the time we made it to our door and piled into our house. My ring-toes were sore on each foot, but Mrs P.L. was happy with the final step count. And despite the enjoyment and cool sights of the past 30 nights, we were both looking forward to spending some evenings at home 🙂

Mrs P.L.'s Walking Challenge: Day 29

Yay, looks like the circus is back in town! 

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!
