Spooky vibes this Friday morning 🕯️
We asked @StefConner to arrange 'The Lyke Wake Dirge' for us, an ancient English folk song that tells of the soul's journey to purgatory, and here it is in all its foot-stomping glory.

I live for simple pleasures… like squeezing my easy-to-manoeuvre little car into tight parking spaces next to SUVs parked on the line, so that the drivers have no choice but to climb into their car across the passenger side. ☺️😇 #gasguzzler #SUV #yummymummy #passiveaggressive

Dear Mrs Conner. We understand that you are dead. But you still owe us this trifling sum of money... What a callous bloody world we live in.

I wouldn’t normally think of myself as a railway station coffee kiosk enthusiast… but after a long, tiring journey, thanks to engineering works and all the usual 💩, this comic relief from @puccinos has made me a pretty committed fan!
