You can tell I haven't been being very social mediary over Christmas as I have only just found about Instagram limiting hashtags to five per post. So much for my carefully crafted list of every possible permutation of printmaking references 😱

Watching Ski Sunday with young people doing spectacular halfpipe acrobatics, and occasionally crashing, in Calgary where I broke my ankle catastrophically 8 years ago. (Not skiing, just walking on an icy pavement). My long-healed ankle has started REALLY aching. The mind is a strange thing.
