I once drew a bunch of people wearing fish on their heads, using this Tish Murtha photo as a guide. As you do.

Betty’s🐈‍⬛ microchip feeder stopped working at the weekend so I had to order a new one which the cat sitter has just picked up from the post officer. Her husband stripped down the old one to see if he could fix it, and look what is printed on the circuit board! #unexpectedpoetry

As govt is going to ban social media for kids, then they should also: - invest in youth clubs and social spaces where young people are welcome - put some actual money into libraries - mandate that secondary schools supply offline learning resources - implement effective regulation

In 2021, I committed to draw at least one tree per month. I'd really hoped to keep this practise up, but have stalled badly. Trying to get going again, here's an apple tree I started on today...

Fabulous going to see Ashwin Baliga – whom I last met at a hackathon in Athens in 2017 – performing "All We Imagine as Khayal" in his new calling as an Indian classical vocalist, at the Nehru's Centre, London.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

Lost my mother-in-law today. Very sad that I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. She was loving and generous, and we had a real bond. These last seven months have been like a "collect the set" of all those "most stressful things that can happen in your life" lists. A continual struggle. RIP June 😢

I've set up this account to follow folks I know IRL, plus people I like to chat to. Also to avoid the overwhelm and relentless politics over on my other account. I'm a bit lonely at the mo (on here, and IRL). Please tell me who else I ought to be following.
