Elongated skulls…

There is so much to questions about the past, but these elongated skulls do seem to be found in an awful lot of places around the world. Makes me wonder how many others have been hidden, destroyed or lay undiscovered. My grandpa always said “History is written by the winners, remember that”…

The Meg – Film Review

This was a must on my list as soon as I saw it advertised. After being traumatised by watching Jaws at a young age, I tend to lean more towards slightly different shark movies these days. Avoiding ones like The Shallows and going more for Deep Blue Sea. Haven’t quite got round to watching Sharknado yet, far more good films to get through first.

The Meg (2018) wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, I wasn’t expecting much but possibly just a bit more. Stratham was his usual self which always brings a bit of comedy, but they seem to want you to have feeling towards the characters very early in without laying any foundations. You didn’t have to wait long for some action, but for me it fell flat. I wanted the drama of Deep Blue Sea, the tension of Jaws and the beach goers but with the size of the Meg. Not that I wanted more people to fall foul of the shark, but it seemed comedy by the time they got to the beach scene. No real tension. I have a fossilised Megalodon tooth and can appreciate how big these creatures were – so my expectation of havoc and carnage was higher. Sometimes laughable (on purpose), and entertaining enough. Watching it a second time didn’t really hold my attention though.

I guess I wanted Jaws, but bigger.

Regent Street Clouds…

A few years ago I happened to be in London, it doesn’t happen much these days and since living there briefly back in 1999, I don’t have much desire to go back. Except maybe for the architecture and the history, this is a photography I took of Regent Street as the day was drawing to a close, animated by MKW Publishing.

What do you see when you close your eyes?…

If you don’t have any visual imagery in mind, it seems life is a very different experience compared to someone who does. It’s been a big learning experience to discover my husband is Aphantasic and along the way worked out I am hyperphantasic. I have written a book to try and describe what the differences are like, how they affect day to day life, and how they can give you a new perspective on everything you thought you knew.
