Mainly taking photos of small things that catch my eye while walking with the dog. Was a physicist long ago. Sometimes play with threads and paints. Have a slight book habit.

Wet dog day here too.
“A dog wearing a black suit lies on a ground covered with fallen leaves. The suit has the word CANINE printed on the chest.”

That was auto-generated text. It’s a blue raincoat and doesn’t have writing on the chest, but ok apart from that.

This was a simpler single signature book from last week’s workshop.
A closed hand-made book. The front cover is light coloured, with splodges of reddish paint. A dark brown band tied with reddish silk thread holds the book closed.The book is open, showing pages of different sizes, some are paper, some are linen. Some have abstract writing-like marks in black or brown.

This is the most complicated of the books I made on last week’s workshop. The cover has three folds, each with a signature of assorted sizes of paper, fabric, with different textures and patterns. The sections can be opened to show a variety of combinations of the various pages.

A moth was flying around the dining room yesterday. I caught it in a yoghurt pot and took it outside. Apple says it’s a Large yellow Underwing. I snapped a phone photo before letting it go.

This is the dog six years ago, just after his leg operations. He had to have the harness with a back part to help him stand, and to be able to walk enough to go to the toilet. (You can provide support with a strap or towel, but it was wrecking my back!)

I recently looked at my step history on my phone. 2020 was when the dog had cruciate ligament surgery. But I do struggle with energy too, so I can’t claim that my activity levels would be anything to write home about. He does at least get me to go out.
