With its first line of: ‘Curses and hexes can never ruin me…’ I regard Latvia as the #Hookland entry for #Eurovisión.

David Bowie impersonators, songs as apotropaic magic, songs where Mrs. S. says: “This makes me think her vagina is a the centre of a tornado.” #Eurovision manages to be a mix of the expected fiery backdrops and strobe torture with just enough camp bonkers to keep you watching.

Folklore is a lens that doesn't come off. There are certain places you encounter and your first thought comes from parental scarelore that taught you: 'Stay Belows live in places like this.' The lore lives in us. Stories that don't ever end. – Joanna Vickers, 1982 #VOH #Folklore

For it is St. Sarah’s day, a time of horse fair and pilgrimage to half-hidden roadside shrines. Even those who turn away from the folk faith of others know the phrase: ‘To laugh is to pray on St. Sarah’s day.’ - #CLNolan #Folklore

#HooklandContext St. Sarah is a folk saint and regarded at the patron of the Romani. In folk Catholicism traditions she is a saint approached on matters of laughter, infertility and displaced people.

Waiting room.

My brothers and sisters in pain know.

Desiring the world tune into a broadcast from your personal K-hole is no less narcissistic than a military parade on your birthday.

Goodnight from Chrissie Hardy, walking from Bowl Barrow to The Old King’s Court stone circle as an act of solar alchemy on solstice eve. Goodnight from the Shelby sisters, weaving chaplets of daisy and St. John’s-wort for tomorrow’s dancing of the rings. Goodnight from Hookland.

Oi! Count Binface, you dirty dog.

Grief as phantom limb itches. Grief as a twitching of half-erased memories. #LossLit

Hey, Grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

For the record, episode four of the second season of ‘Classic’ Worzel Gummidge is the most horrific so far in the rewatch.

I am not telling him it’s #WorldCatDay/#InternationalCatDay, it would only give him another excuse to be an arsehole.

#ThreeSecondHorrorFilms

#Ghosts obviously.

Nice rally weather for all those wankers.
