  • A Plague Of Seagulls

    This summer, I've been tormented by three beasts, who I'll call Mr. Pecky and Mr. & Mrs. Squawky.

    Here's the announcement on the Pagan Wanderer Lu blog.

    In other news, I have so much blogging to catch up on, and a couple of posts half-written, but no free time. Sooo... par for the course then.
