I produced this set of drawings (12 in all) of Ightham Mote in Kent in 1988. They were published by the National Trust then but I still have people get in touch to tell me that they have just bought them. One was in New Zealand, another in Canada.

Fungal Misadventure (a story in the form of a Bluesky thread)
"Have you ever wondered?" he asked, as they picked mushrooms in the forest near her house. "How many people died from fungal misadventure during prehistory before we found out which of these were safe to eat?"

She’s not wrong.
When we’re born, we have about 300 bones, but over time, we end up with just 206, because many fuse together as we grow.
And here’s a fun fact: Bone is a living tissue that constantly renews itself. Your skeleton is completely new about every 7-10 years.

Worth remembering that when I fantasise about winning the lottery a lot of the things I think of involve either giving people I like lots of money or funding fun/necessary public things. Some people already won it but spend their entire life trying to get more. This is mental illness.
