A busy day planning and plotting. #goth

Working in a podcast. Episode one recorded. It’ll probably take months to edit though.

Well, the backing cards are here.

Found this in a coat pocket. It’s a rosehip I took from the bushes I grew up with surrounding the garden of my childhood home.

Because it is. Last night, someone in Bingley wrongly said it wasn’t. Though they told me it is in Halifax. Who knows where they’re at with this in Keighley.

A much-needed week off. Nine days. Supposed to be doing a longish walk every day. Out the door at 7am and down the canal path for a few hours. Either that or I’ll sleep for the whole thing.

Oh, and keep an eye out for World Goth Day news.

And, given it’s Leeds’ 400th birthday, there’s a new owl or two. Badges? Yep. Tees? Maybe. Totes? Very likely. Can’t wait to feel the new art prints. Designed for touching not framing.

Lots of new art coming. Plenty of it goth. Black on black print is a bit of an obsession. Gold foil? That too.

This book (that I’m briefly in) is starting to go out to lots of locations around Leeds. I don’t know where though. I’m in Bingley, what do you expect?

Friday i'm in Love 🖤 Nostalgia is never out of fashion so is there a #Goth in your life that would like a #RobertSmith bag charm? This handmade #80sMusic legend is BACK IN STOCK at misheleneous.etsy.com now and makes a great gift for Alternatives 🧛‍♂️ #TheCure #MusicSky #Etsy #80sMusic #Alternative

I have a week off. It’s my holiday. It is February after all. I’m determined that it will be an adventure. I’m calling it my holodyssey.

Someone nicked my idea. If you see it, remember it started here. LeedsNomad.com/shop

snap!

Oops, I’m in a book.

Announcement in the station suggested I take care due to wet platforms. But I’m not wearing wet platforms.

Went to see Stoodley Pike but it wasn’t there.

I think it’s ready.

Accidentally bleached my jeans while cleaning with a brush. I love it and think this should be a new fashion.

He’s been.

Only the song the 1984 Christmas number one could have been.

Have you managed to avoid hearing it so far this Christmas? Sorry if I’ve spoiled it for you. #mindergeddon youtu.be/47bHFAfGop8?...

Decided to do my Christmas shopping in 1980s Leeds this year.

This 50-year-old legendary Leeds Lloyds horse is on the move. Again. Commissioned for the opening of the bank’s Park Row HQ, then moved to its replacement, it’s been a bit out of the way for a while. A stunning, timeless sculpture. Can’t wait to see where it goes next.

Put my glasses down somewhere.

Watching #totp waiting to be reminded which song was the 1998 Christmas number one (while thinking it should be none of them).

Here’s me thinking an Armley Gyratory badge might be a bit niche.

Had a sudden urge to build a den. Now I’m wondering if that’s something adults are allowed to do.

Someone just told me they (wrongly) call it ‘jitty’ in Derby. leedsnomad.com/product/its-...

Thought of you yesterday, my oldest was on a train going up country and harshly slagging off every place the train went through till this. A great compliment from a grumpy teen.

Used mum’s car as a prop for the car window stickers (leedsnomad.com/product/leed...). Not being a driver, it hadn’t occurred to me that this really isn’t an advisable location for a window sticker.

Let #christmas shopping commence.

Which one are you? 0113 or 0532? leedsnomad.com/product/leed...

Why, yes, it is ginnel. Quite correct. leedsnomad.com/product/its-... #ginnel #yorkshire

There’s lots of new stuff in the web shop: leedsnomad.com/shop/ #leeds

They like graffiti too.

We’re thrilled to be joined by Soborgnost for this instalment of NOX. Expect all manner of dark chug! Here’s a taste of what’s to come… 'When the Shadow Comes' by Cardinal & Nun Tox OTD or advance here: ra.co/events/2298566 #goth #gothleeds #gothclub #wharfchambers

Going through dad’s poems is a wild trip. Hilarious. There’s the occasional surreal drawing, often involving a train. Neurostar is my fave so far.

Odd socks from now on.

Made Spanish scrambled egg because my omelettes always fall apart.

So pleased with the new badge. leedsnomad.com/product/leed...

That takes me back to my school day's, not seen one of those for years.

Show me better animal tessellation.

2 rides left yet! I remember them, I thought they were great. Better than when the bus drivers couldn't give change, so you always ended up paying more for your fare. 🎵kerching🎵
