Work in local govt. Widow, artist, partner. Living my best life despite tricky health! Well vaxxed.
Randomly, a photo I love of Tony. Although I can see how frail he was even then. Love remains 💔🩷

2026.

I will draw, even if it’s bad.
I will draw, even if it’s challenging.
I will draw, even if it’s been done before.
I will draw, even if it’s imperfect.
I will draw, even if someone else is better.
I will draw, even if I have much to learn.

I will draw because it’s fun.
Because I’m human.

🍊 🤡 It’s a lying rapist who gets worse by the day. Are we sure the Maduro photos aren’t AI?

These and other questions.

Absolutely not saying shit hasn’t gone down.

I’m practising loose line work in a tiny journal, as a way of changing things a bit. I don’t usually draw.

Laughing so hard. I sometimes comment on Alan’s cooking skills.

We’re at his daughters & she’s making macaroni cheese. She puts the dry pasta in cold water & brings it to the boil.

I guess it’s a family thing 😂

Or have I been doing it wrong all my life 🫤

My car was too big for one person & a constant reminder of Tony’s death (i had an Outlander for his wheelchair ).

Today I’ve traded to a ‘21 Nissan Kicks hybrid. I know Tony would have loved the colour!

It’s two months today since Tony died. Time is so weird. I feel ok today, after being wobbly yesterday…

Third of the slightly more realistic landscapes I’ve been working on.

Introduce yourself with what nearly killed you.

* drunk driver head on
* acute aspiration pneumonia
* perforated stomach
* driver came through a stop sign
Introduce yourself with what almost killed you

Acute pericarditis (literally hours away from returning my atoms to the cosmos had it not been for IV meds)
Introduce yourself with what almost killed you.

Hi, I’m ventricular tachycardia—280bpm by the time they got me to A&E and re-jumpstarted my heart.

I’m playing with pencils because some idiot forgot to bring a water brush with them. Trying to use looser lines.

I bought an Outlander after my accident bc it was easier for me handling Tony’s wheelchair. Since 1995 my cars have been largely based on mum then Tony’s walkers & wheelchairs.
I’m going to trade in to a newer hybrid to suit me. Not too low, not too small, high safety rating.
Very mixed feelings.

We’re travelling today to stay with Alan’s daughter for a couple of nights. Some of the driving I’m seeing is just dreadful 🤬

It’s my sister’s birthday today. Tomorrow it’s 2 months since Tony died. They were good friends for 33 years.
Some days it doesn’t take much to get dust in my eyes. 🥺

I packed Alan’s sneakers and now he can’t find them. He’s so untidy 😂 he really does own more than one pair of shoes but believes in travelling light.

The further into this I get, the less it feels like me. Hmm…progress shots.

Mid! Mid?
I’m not sure this is very inspiring! 😑

Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2026.

Let's. Go.

Laying down the bones of something more realistic to see how it feels. So far, I’m enjoying it, so we’ll see how it feels as I get further into it.
Playing with zero expectations in 2026.

In 2026, I want one thing – a kidney donated from a living donor for my partner. I've lost sleep over whether I should post this – it's a massive ask. Sometimes I wonder if it's asking too much? But the reality is that I'm unable to donate my kidney, and he has zero family who are in the position

I’ve finally been forgiven for throwing Sabrina outside by the scruff of the neck when she got fluro paint on her foot and tail. 🐈‍⬛🩷

Some of my art time today. Zero expectations. Just play.

Playing with no expectations. Happy 1 Jan ‘26!

Sabrina 🐈‍⬛ has a small blanket on the end of my art desk. She’s not allowed to walk around the desk if I block her with my arm. She’s normally good.

This morning she waited until I lifted my arm & shot the gap.

She now has a fluro lemon and pink tail and one yellow paw 🐾

I won’t make it to midnight.

Huge gratitude to my Bsky pocket pals who provide love, support & laughs. You bring light to my word. 🩷

May we all have a great 2026. See you on the other side of midnight.
