My game Gunstorm II, still the best shoot-em-up I ever made after about 20 years of trying.

A bit of plaster work for a new artwork today. Of all art materials, I perhaps love the look and feel of Plaster of Paris the most.

A solstice photograph by Mike Drew at The Bridestones, Congleton. We read a few poems, sounded hand pans, and tolled some of those copper tubular bells to mark the low ebb of wintertide.

Woop! Exciting Christmas Tails milestone. Nastee Chapel's recent CD sales have, today, pushed the total raised to £370.12, past the total we raised in 2023! And more to go yet: Christmas Tails will remain on sale until February, all proceeds go to the RSPCA.

Happy Solstice. We had a little trip to The Bridestones neolithic tomb, now a ruin of megaliths. We played simple music and read poetry. I wrote a poem for the occasion. Deb read 'Sunchild'. Photo by Deborah.

Less than 30 minutes to go until the video premiere of 'Will You Be My Snowflake?'. I've spent a lot of 2025 making music videos so it's fitting to have a December premiere.

It's Christmas Smells O'clock. We tried to sing and play this at the day centre Christmas party with an unusual ensemble of ukulele, bongos, Microkorg, and guitar. It did not sound like this.

Heeere's Snowy. Filming and editing the 'Will You Be My Snowflake?' video today. A simple animation of single full frames tied to the music. A few more enhanced scenes, but aiming for a 'Clangers' feeling.

Today marks the release of the Tree Of Keys remaster. These tracks were generally experiments from the ArtsLab radio show I hosted on RedShift. Some piano music, some spoken word, some arty songs like this, 'I, Spider'.

Finally settling down today after two days of events. The Winter Party in the library in aid of the Christmas Tails project went brilliantly. Over £100 was raised.

The Winter Party event went brilliantly, everyone’s performance on par or better than the album.
