Finally I’m able to get back to it! I don’t love the golden bit at 7 o’clock - tone stands out in a bad way - but otherwise it’s mostly blocked in. I have to shade now. I like the movement in the big flight feathers to the right.

The 11th of November is not a celebration of victory. It's a solemn observance, remembering the dead and the horrors of war.
The day that this fucker's rotten little heart stops beating for good, now THAT'S going to be a celebration.

President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars"
Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

All sweets gone by 7pm. I should remember for next year to buy more if there's no rain forecast, especially because shrinkflation seems to have done a number on the selection bags.
St Martin's Day update: kids adorable, homemade-to-shopbought ratio of lanterns acceptable, but they've taken all the mini-Bounties. Those are my favourites! I thought kids hate coconut!
Happy St Martin's Day to all who celebrate. We have our sweets ready for the neighbour kids with lanterns.

Writing a kid's book called "The Extra Wiggly Smooth Blind Caterpillar" who finds out they're a worm when all their friends metamorphosize and fly away and they're forced to understand that by setting more realistic expectations there's just as much fun to be had in the dirt.

Brother Gregor wouldn't see you later, or in a while, but he might catch you at the burial.
Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

One thing I genuinely miss about the past is the experience of falling for a book that's completely outside your comfort zone because you're stuck somewhere with absolutely nothing else to read. Obviously it's better now we can have all the books at our fingertips, but that experience was special.

Seriously, can we bring back "unswept floor" tiled floors? This is great!
Heraclitus was inspired by an ancient Greek decorative theme known as ‘unswept floor’ (asàrotos òikos). He created this mosaic, seemingly covered with scraps of food from a banquet, for the dining room of a villa on the Aventine Hill in Rome. Read more: understandingrome.substack.com/p/the-unswep...

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.
Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

My most prized and well thumbed book in my teenage years (at least of those whose pages were not stuck together) was a book of Goon Show scripts.
