I made a living willow hut. It’s starting to grow new shoots. 🌱 Give it a few months and it’ll be a place to sit and work, read (or hide).

Oh no! We went to see Blur in Margate and I parked in a multi story car park which closed at 10pm. No hotels available. Even tried a police station. The police said they could drop us at a petrol station which was the only place open. We ended up helping night staff stack shelves in Wild Bean Cafe.

Anyone good at identifying teeth? Just dug up this. Yes, I can probably use an app to identify it but that’s a bit boring. 🌱 🦷

I clicked on some mopeds and zebras crossings so I’m pretty sure I’m organic. I mostly do sketches and line drawings. benbrignell.com

I’m in a meeting with an e-commerce platform talking about infrastructure/integration strategy. I went to make a cup of tea, took my laptop with me… then gave it to my kid and said “Quick! Take notes for me whilst the kettle is on!!!”. I think we have all been asking for a something connector.

A heron often appears in my garden and lands on a long thin branch of the same tree. It’s such an odd sight seeing a heron standing in a tree. Not a great photo, I know. 😅
