Making screens again this evening. They are all done so I will be printing tomorrow!
Had a disastrous evening yesterday with new emulsion. None of the screens were any good and I broke the glass. Wonderful.

I have just done a test exposure with the new emulsion and got a 4 minute exposure time with the LED UV lamp. I'm pretty pleased with that!
This emulsion should be much more hard wearing than the previous one.

I have logged out of my printmaking account on Instagram for the last time.
I'm tired of the torrent of shit which was doing my head in and also not reaching anyone.
I will keep administering the Winchester Print Fair account though.

I have blocked/muted loads of accounts and been blocked by probably thousands because someone maliciously added me to loads of lists.
Does this mean Bluesky is broken for me?

Working on something new...a new Safe Harbours print.
This is a work in progress but I'm happy with how it's going.

I love all these emails which are now promoting their Christmas range and saying "get in early".
You're too late; I've been Christmas shopping since January and I've already bought everything.

What is hilarious about going to the gym is there are always a couple of young lads there who basically stand around looking at their phones, setting up equipment and then doing nothing.

Buying music on @subvert.fm and testing the app!
It's really good. Can't wait to be able to upload my music on there.
I had to get this @giantclaw.bsky.social album I did not have digitally.

Had a great Way Out West cocktail on Sunday at the Cabinet Rooms in Winchester. It’s an old fashioned with mezcal as well as whiskey.

My hearing is still awful. I am waiting for a hospital appointment about my eustachian tubes but I guess it could be ages.

OK I'm now putting them down for a few weeks!
I will come back to these in December, hopefully. And print in January.
