For when I need to go to an evening event but I still manage to smuggle in some New Rock Loafers and Great Frog Jewellery. I can't wear a white shirt, it just doesn't agree with me 😂

I went to go and get some food for my Tarantula yesterday and I saw this little guy, I had to have him!

Apparently he's due a molt, he was in his new habitat for about 8 hours and he's buggered off. I can't find him with the blacklight. I think he's hiding under the bark (he can't get out)

If he is melting, how long should I expect to wait before he's out and about again please?

Last pic is what he came in so his new enclosure is quite a bit bigger, but not enormous.

John 5 in Southend UK tonight, joined by Nikki 6's tech, Fred (Who is such a nice guy) they played a medley of Motley Crue songs at the end of the show. He's an insane guitarist, absolutely brilliant show.

John 5 playing in Southend, UK tonight. His entrance and exit music was MM. The guy is an absolute powerhouse of a guitarist, one of the most overlooked and underrated guitarists in my opinion.

Inspired by my new pet, here's my traditional style tarantula.

I know some of the answers will be "It's just a book" potentially, but I know Stoker was meticulous with his details when it came to travelling/trains etc.

Some of the geography in the book doesn't make sense to me, and I wanted to know if others had thought about it. Having recently visited 2 real life Dracula locations, it strikes me that they are very far apart, even by modern day standards in a car!

The Demeter sails from Varna, which means that it would have to travel up the English channel, past the Thames estuary (Where Carfax house is located, at Purfleet) to get to Whitby, where it eventually is ruined in a storm.

Dracula's boxes of earth, then have to be transported over 260 miles by road to reach Carfax house. The chapel actually still stands today and is only a few hundred meters from the shore. Dracula could have had his earth shipped direct to his new residence, or is the earth dropped first as it would go down with the shop otherwise? Either way that doesn't explain why he would carry on to Whitby if it was dropped off.

There's also a huge coincidence that Lucy, Mina's best friend happens to be in Whitby. Mina's husband-to-be having visited Dracula in his castle. The other coincidence is that one of Lucy's potential suitors just happens to work within a stone's throw of the Chapel where Dracula stores his earth, and Renfield just so happens to be in the Asylum.

This is not helped because of the usual amalgamation of Carfax House and Whitby Abbey to make Carfax Abbey and Purfleet is often left out of film adaptions (It's even referred to as Carfax Abbey in Dacre Stoker's book) so maybe it doesn't come to people's minds that often perhaps?

I know the real life reasons why all these locations are in the book, but they don't make sense in terms of the story to me and as I say, Stoker was meticulous in his details. I would like to hear other's thoughts please.
