Just put an audiobook on. Connected to bluetooth speaker as usual. But my treadmill started talking to me. I've had that 5 years, didn't even know it had a speaker. So weird.

I think I had Bunty occasionally and then Jackie for a bit. Pretty sure my Mother thought comics were common, so we never had them.

Today is the 98th anniversary of Thomas Hardy’s heart being cut out so it could be buried in Dorset, at which point it was, unfortunately, eaten by a cat

Although there's a Golden pot of paint in that photo, I actually used really cheap acrylics for the gel printing. Thin layers make subtle colour/texture effects. Coloured pencil on top.

Today: Sketchbook page is Bronze Age cremation urns from Salisbury Museum. They are HUGE. Messing with gel printing (right page) to try to get the biscuity texture; animal mask templates for a craft thing; tower block progress (it is very slow).

I'm very pleased with the outcome of this pigeon puddle photo taken at Barons Court London Underground station. I love that it's a multiple reflection shot, puddle and window!
