Views from the deck
And, for as long as it lasts it's paradise. Never the same view twice.

Creepy Dolls
And, moseying around Nelson a couple of days before Christmas, the antique store had just brought in a fine selection of vintage/antique "Creepy Dolls". I have a thing for them.
From right to left, pocked papier mache doll, Gollywog, what at first I thought was a fabric rhino (but I think it's simply an old or original "piglet" doll from Winnie the Pooh), lying prone - girl with flesh colored eyes rolled back into her head...
So, the next few shops I kept my eyes peeled:
At Moon whatever consignment a mixed media creepy monkey...
An assortment of crystals, wrappings, figurines. No single thing grabs me, but the display works...
Some curious tiny preserves in formaldehyde...
Another gaggle of creepy dolls,
And, finally, this doll here, spotted marking the Bus Stop into the Twilight Zone...
Which, frankly, would be a better horror movie than any I've seen lately...

Jon Ronson - The Men Who Stare at Goats
Read the book, loved it. Saw the movie - not so much. And now, I've discovered the audiobook, narrated by the author, Jon Ronson himself.
Men Who Stare At Goats Audiobook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wTMSUFos3o
There's something about his narration, his voice captures it perfectly, anxiety increasing in it's pitch, his POV, trying to humour his subjects, pretend that it's normal, you can tell he's thinking - "WTF? WHO WOULD BELIEVE ME?", meanwhile retaining enough of his composure to ask the right questions and continue down the rabbit hole.
It's an enjoyable listen while I mindlessly try and perfect the art of crystal-wrapping.
