As from yesterday 29 February, I am able to donate blood again! 🩸🩸🩸 So if you have been previously ineligible due to having been in the UK/Europe in the early 90's during the Mad Cow Disease times, you too, are now eligible!! #teamvampire

Not impressed with Stuff's new website layout and usability! I also note it hasn't improved their editing either!

Once again I discover that despite my best intentions, my art does not get me as far on these platforms as other people’s seems to. Anyway, here’s a cool pin set I made.

Two enamel skulls connected by a chain on a pocket, one winking at the other.

How fucking patriarchal is this medal ceremony? Why are all those women, standing behind the men, just to hold the medal trays!

My husband is an artist who makes orreries (clockwork planetary models) out of metal and glass. When I was struggling to finish my novel, he made me a deal: if I finished the book, he'd make me an orrery based on the world of my novel. It's freaking BEAUTIFUL.

Photo of an orrery made of hand-etched brass gears, a polished wooden base, and hand-blown glass planets.

So a bit of a shit day today! We've had to say goodbye to our precious Lulu as she has made the journey over the rainbow 🌈 bridge! After a short (3 mth) illness with cancer she passed away peacefully in her Mumma's arms this morning! There were so may tears! R.I.P. our precious Lulu-bell!

So my wife and I went to see 'Uproar' this evening. A kiwi movie starring Julian Dennison, James Rolleston, Rhys Darby, Minnie Driver. Probably the best movie I have seen in quite a while! I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I was moved! Simply a brilliant movie - highly recommend! 5/5 Go see it!

So my wife and I took a cooking class at riversidekitchen.co.nz last night, on Hong Kong Street Food. I cannot recommend these classes enough! It was our second one we've done (previously Indian) and they are excellently run! Watch demo, make your own, finish with a feast! Such good fun!
