Dry weekend 😐. Read 1st volume of Boswell's life of Johnson. Very interesting about Sam Johnson's open mindedness about ghosts & the supernatural & interesting that Boswell felt the need to defend him against charges of being too credulous about the Cock Lane ghost affair.
New edition to my book collection this 1824 set of Boswell's Life of Samuel johnson. Has a dedication in the front as a leaving gift from 2 friends from Eton 1848.

Ancient old one eyed cat befriended on stroll to shops. I'd like to think this is one of the cats of Ulthar who at night go to the Moon to fight Moonbeasts!

Finally got to the flicks to see Mando. A lot of fun but no real shakes for Star Wars lore. Good to see R5-D4 at Adelphi Base and was that R2-D2, which would hint Luke was there? Sigourney Weaver a godess in an X-Wing!

Episode 40- Black Dogs On this episode, we explore one of the most enduring and unsettling legends in British folklore: the Black Dog Phenomena. These spectral hounds are typically described as rather large, jet-black dogs with glowing eyes, often appearing on remote roads, misty moors, water courses and in ancient churchyards—often as harbingers of misfortune or death. From Black Shuck in East Anglia to the Barghest of Yorkshire, and the many regional variations in between, accounts of these mysterious beasts have circulated for centuries. Are they merely superstition, psychological phenomena, or something more unexplained? On this episode, join me as I share some of the history and documented sightings of these haunting creatures. All of the sightings are odd but all have different endings.

My Black Series helmets- 1 sig on the shoretrooper, none on the scout, 3 on the clone and 35 on the red 5. If I do get to meet Hamill at Star Wars celebration L.A. next year probably looking at around £500 for his sig. Red 2 (Denis Lawson) & Red 3 (Garrick Hagon) on there.
