This rock jutting above the waves at high tide was named Granny’s Dragon by one of my kids many moons ago, and that’s what it will always be to me. A sea dragon, half-submerged and unhurried, letting the Fife tides rise and fall around it as it keeps its timeless vigil.

I'm not a fan of plain white t-shirts. I like a print of some sort on there. Plus they're one pasta sauce accident away from becoming a pyjama top. Some of the ones listed in this article are £95! 😅

I ran my Traveller game Calli's Heroes - set at the end of the Fifth Frontier War and very much in the spirit of the film that the title riffs on - at North Star (or was it Furnace?) and at MORPCon. Wondering if there's room for it at Grogmeet instead of bringing The Walking Dead... 🤔
I've been awake since 4am so now my stomach thinks it's lunchtime. 😅
Tentsmuir beach is my kind of beach. This is what it looks like when it's crowded.
Tentsmuir forest earlier today, on the lookout for Laestrygonians... 👀
Thank you for reminding me! I'm late with potato internet. I'm on the coast so thought this one appropriate. 😊

You Impale One Guy, and Suddenly You’re “Vlad the Impaler”
“There’s so much more to me than impaling. I paint watercolors. I run half-marathons. I am a father, many times over, all across the Wallachian countryside. ...

Found on beach in Fife. Either Spock is in there or there will be dancing apes soon.
"Writers have been using me long before AI. I am the punctuation equivalent of a cardigan—beloved by MFA grads, used by editors when it’s actually cold, and worn year-round by screenwriters. I am not new here. I am not novel. I’m the cigarette you keep saying you’ll quit."
