Oh yeah. If I need to feel a hit of nostalgia I play The Sims "Mall Rat" track.

REMINDER: HS2, delivered in full, was the most effective single investment to reduce the UK's emissions. The last government cancelled it, this government doubled down. Until they reverse the cancellation, Labour cannot be taken seriously on the climate.
a tweet by BBC Breakfast reading: 
"The Met Office has warned the UK is breaking heat and rainfall records increasingly frequently as its climate continues to warm. Climate Editor Justin Rowlatt and Meteorologist Matt Taylor discussed the report on #BBcBreakfast"

Wind farms are cool. But I think it would be better if it was government owned and not owned by a private company that uses a local name. I worry that we’re pushing this problem onto future generations and that this won’t make energy more affordable.

Found this yesterday in Any Amount of Books on Charing Cross Road. Considering I’ve recently started illustrating some heraldic animals, it feels serendipitous. A very interesting book.
A secondhand book called “heraldry for the designer” by William Metzig. The cover displays an illustrated knight and his steed who are adorned with colourful (red, blue and gold) heraldic markings.

Recently saw this recreation of the she-wolf mosaic in Denver - this time sans Romulus and Remus. Perhaps this is a before / after? 📸🏛️ Denver, CO / Leeds, UK #MosaicMonday

Yes, the Barrett-style housing is basically the UK equivalent of McMansions and urban sprawl.

Beautiful! One of my favourite things about North America is how many different species of birds there are!

Finally, we’re going by genus of plant in the supermarket. Now please point me in the direction of the solanums.

There are confirmed sightings of the aurora around the UK right now. If you have clear skies in your area then look up and you might just get a display of the Northern Lights to welcome in 2025! Aurora activity update via: geomag.bgs.ac.uk/education/cu... 📷: @mgs_geog

Journaling and dry January? Yes, I’m aware of how insufferable I am. Guest appearance from Cyndaquil.
Cyndaquil plushie sits next to a small stack of notebooks. A teapot sits on top of the notebooks and there is an open notebook with a pen in the foreground of the photo.

Besides intricate sketching, 0.05 fineliners are great for illegible note making in the style of Charlotte Brontë.

Parched peas. Besides apple cider vinegar and salt, I have also added mustard powder, marmite, peppercorn, sage, thyme and a splash of olive oil.
