I just want to express an old outrage.
After separation, I made some portraits of our three children. I offered to the kids dad free copies of the images. He declined, and told me I wasn’t allowed to earn money from them either. I was not ALLOWED to use them to make money.
Am still outraged.

I’m poorly, & my clients have gracefully acknowledged my cancellations (that I can’t really afford) but it means I can keep my achy snotty self warm & cosy, reading intermittently about children’s artistic development & mapping it to an understanding of self, while I watch the rain fall.

Facebook reminds me that on this day in 2017 a woman turned to me in the veg section of Sainsbury's and said "hopefully now we've left the EU we can have loose carrots that aren't wet"

The view across the Lake Saimaa in winter. The Pisamalahti hillfort is in Sulkava Finland, on a rock with 55-metre-high perpendicular rock surfaces above the lake. On the eastern side there is tens of metres of 3-m-wide and 2-m-high stone wall. #HillfortsWednesday

I think tomorrow I’m going to put myself to some creative writing, as a diversion. I’ve several tasks & a dog walk to undertake but as am poorly I shan’t try the gym, rather something gentle at home.

Forgot to tell you all, on Saturday, stumbling up a spongy, muddy hill as the course of a natural spring seemed to ‘be the footpath’, I encountered a deer. It was one of those situations where natural wonder makes time stand still. It was a little distance off but watched me and I watched back.

When my son turned three, 8 gave him one of those enormous "birthday boy" badges to wear. He smiled and said "mum help me with this, I'm terrible with safety pins. I actually once accidentally killed a man."
Kiddo is 15 today & as far as I know from his character, he remains painfully honest.
