Another creature that channels the Triffids and similar revenge of nature horrors of the mid 20th Century. A Puppeteer is a parasite that slips through from another dimension. The infected seek out further victims, and they all get tangled up in a shambling, deadly bush.
It’s nearly Halloween, so time to read about ghosts in ancient cultures.
But I’d love to have something I could do this sort of thing to. Maybe I could pick up old light clusters from a scrapyard.

I love a ghost sign. If I start adding my collection of photos to the Historic England site, I could be there all weekend.
The drive from Penrith to Allendale was an adventure in itself, and the Museum of Classic Sci-Fi was one of those surprising, eccentric gems you find in the oddest of places.
It’s fitting that a museum with a lot of Dr Who memorabilia should pack so much into a relatively tiny space. This is just a sample of what they’ve got, and doesn’t include any of the promotional announcements by Davros!
If your in the Allendale area, you should definitely drop in. Check opening times though.
Ukraine’s IT army is a first- set up as part of the country’s defences- but cyber attacks have been around for a while, and will only become more common in future.
Tsingtao beer is seeing a sales slump after a video was released that appeared to show a worker pissing into a brewing vat.

The box says it’s 1:12th scale, but the figure certainly isn’t.
I got this done in a day, but there were still bits of it that took longer than expected. These vintage builds, even ones as supposedly simple as this, always take longer than planned.
A Death in Didsbury was about art theft, as well as murder. There may not be any drive by shootings, but the real world of art recovery has its share of eccentric and dangerous characters.
As if things couldn’t get worse- climate change is set to reduce the quantity and quality of beer. Warming and changing seasons and precipitation patterns mean a reduction in the hops harvest, with flowers containing less of the alpha acids that give the flavour.
The Conservative Party needs to be so thoroughly beaten at the next election that it collapses and is never heard from again. It’s the least they deserve for policies that leaves us poorer, colder and at greater risk from climate change just so their rich friends can get a little richer.
