If you thought last week's self-portrait was unkind, what about this one from, I'm guessing, about six months earlier? Self-esteem problems by any chance? I found it among some formulae and notes in an old biology exercise book dating from 1981 (which I later used to write scripts and stuff in, which is why I've kept it). I must have doodled it in class. This book, and another from the following year, are full of mad doodles, so I shall scan them for forthcoming Found Fridays. The one below, scribbled in the margin, made me smile. I think it's a kind of mock tattoo, but it clearly shows the bands I was listening to at the time.
I am the editor of a website devoted to ghosts and folklore in Britain, Uncanny UK. I am the former editor of 'Paranormal Magazine' and I have written five books, including 'Haunted Wales', which is to be republished by the History Press in 2011.
