Okay then, everybody. It's hayfever season, and social distancing didn't stop being important just because our government are money-grubbing moral vacuums.

Still, though. Fuck it! Let's go for a walk around a public gardener.

It's #MagnusArchives Episode 5.11 - "The Gardener". First of all, though, a content warning. I'm going to touch on the topics of body-image issues, eating disorders and self-harm. I'm not in a position to speak on these as an expert, so I won't be lingering on them, but still; bear that in mind. #MagnusArchives

Hello, presumed humans. Time once more for a walk through dark places, with this week's #MagnusArchives.

Well, I say "walk". More of a sit-down this time around. Still, at least no-one's sitting comfortably.

Nevertheless, I shall begin. It's Episode 5.10: "Recollection". No sense in beating around the bush on this one: what I find most interesting about this episode is the implications in the fact it doesn't really work for me. #MagnusArchives

Wednesday once more! That means a wander through dark, fearful places.

This time we're focussing on fires in apartment blocks, so we break the run of accidentally political pieces with one that's very deliberately political.

It's #MagnusArchives Episode 5.09 - "Fire Escape" I gotta agree with Martin here; fire is absolutely bloody *awful*. It's not my biggest fear - The Corruption and The Buried haven't been shifted from their top spots... #MagnusArchives

Ahoy-hoy, fellow travellers. It's Wednesday evening, which means we're taking a few more steps towards Chelsea's own Towering Tower of Supernatural Snoops and Busybodies.

Still, it turns out there's worse roads to be taking.

It's #MagnusArchives Episode 5.08 - "Roots". The End's domain is one of those I've been most looking forward to visiting. Obviously I'm keen to wander the lands of The Lonely and The Vast for my own twisted reasons, and I'm sure The Web has had something special laid on for us. #MagnusArchives

Evening, presumed humans! It's Wednesday once more, and that means #MagnusArchives.

This week, we're filling some blanks in the back-story, as that there Archivist traipses through the life, times and personnel files of one Gertrude Robinson.

It's Episode 4.07 - "Curiosity". Before we get on to Jon and Martin's predecessors, though, let's talk about their relationship. #MagnusArchives
