I don't know what to put in this cage. I asked a pigeon to get in but he wouldn't.
A small metal bird cage - but ornamental - with nothing in it. Yet.

The urge to remove the dressing to see it vs the urge to not see it again for as long as possible.
Human right hand with a medical dressing on it for an injury on that fleshy bit under the thumb. There are emojis covering the Terrible Blood coming through, so don't worry. Also I won't ever post pictures of the actual injury because no one should have to see it apart from all the nurses I tried to faint in front of. I'm fine; it's hard to use scissors.

This is not an insect or a cat, but I did see her today. I think she may be great with eggs. Or just had a big lunch.
A small greenish lizard with a big tummy sunning herself on a boardwalk. Lunch or egg inside her? Hard to tell because she is a lizard.

Me: I'm going to have to be patient and wait a few weeks for the curtains to come before I can move into my new bedroom

My ADHD:
A window covered in not curtains but a towel, a strip of blackout fabric, a huge piece of red felt and a leftover piece of blue sweatshirt fabric, held up with sewing clips. Sunlight is peeking through a bit, but that will not stop me. I've just had a nap in here so I know it works.

I am being given this side-eye in my own home.

By someone who cost me £164 in vet bills this week, gets the fancy hay, the best pellets and his own room.
Photograph of a brown-caramel-and-white guinea pig lying on a painstakingly handmade fleece blanket, in his painstakingly handmade fleece tent, in his massive run which takes up the whole living room. He is reclining a little and appears to be giving epic side-eye. Cannot confirm if the side eye is due to me trying to take cute photographs of him while he tries to nap.

LOOK AT THIS GOOD SOFT BOY STANDING ON HIS BAD LEG ALL CASUAL
A photograph of a guinea pig who is mostly white but like his head and shoulders have been dipped in dark chocolate standing like a normal guinea pig. But what's special is that 12 weeks ago he had no use of his back legs, and six weeks ago barely had feeling in his back right leg. Now he's sometimes walking on it normally! Such a brave, strong, good boy.

Two soft, soft guinea pigs in their hay box. One is hopefully looking up for treats, the other is worried it's medication time.

No time for #hourlycomicsday, only marking
Drawing of me marking huge stacks of tests. It's only a slight exaggeration.

Not pictured of course is frantically remembering to do #hourlycomicday
11-12 make tea, guinea pig laundry, dishwasher, getting nails out of the ceiling. Wait, did I make tea? Make more tea. Actually drink this one.

The Boys got a blueberry each, too, because they are good boys.
Drawing of brunch, it's not great but the brunch was great. Brioche buns, with coconut yoghurt, toasted pecans and coconut flakes, and apple and sultanas with cinnamon sugar. A good time.

Drawing of a mug of tea in the foreground, overlooking an enclosure containing two guinea pigs - one with crazy fur. They poop constantly. Caption: 9-10am sit-down, watching the boys

This is probably the most interesting thing I'll do all day, and I've already done it. #HourlyComicsDay
Black and white drawing of a person in dust mask and ear defenders, sanding a bit of wood. Caption: 8-9am workshop! Making a tiny rake handle A tiny rake with a brand new wooden handle, sitting on a pile of hay it has freshly fluffed.

I started doing #HourlyComicsDay when I was still doing a comic, but so help me I will never stop this (apart from all the years I forget)

Sorting out, and remembering the time I got tipsy and went to a dollar store in Oregon
Photo of a postcard with a closeup photograph of a yellow slug with a dark background. Caption reads "DO YOU THINK THE WORLD IS READY FOR A POST CARD OF AN OREGON SLUG?" I don't know why; I had cider.

Even better than that!
Photo of a Japanese pull saw and a really messy workshop.

Workshop day!
Photograph of a left hand with plasters (bandaids) on the index and middle fingers. There's a new rug in the background and it's a really nice rug which was definitely worth spending all that money right before a crisis which involved spending a lot more money.

Spent 1/4 of my weekend making a hay box for these soft boys. They seem content with it.
Photograph of two guinea pigs (one brown and white, the other brown, caramel and white) in a shallow wooden box filled with hay in their enclosure. They look like happy, soft boys.

View of a street from the front window of the upper deck of a bus. It's wet and dreary outside. You can't see it, but it's also windy as fuck.

Look who obligingly climbed into the soft plastics recycling! Transplanted to a local alley by the woods.
Photograph of a human hand holding a transparent plastic wrapper. It contains a grey-brown house mouse, who is probably terrified, poor thing, but does need to live somewhere else.

Repaired this beautiful charity shop friend using only a Dremel and the desire to avoid more important tasks!
Closeup photograph of a dark wooden carved owl with one of its ears replaced with new wood. Closeup photograph of the head of a dark wooden carved owl with one of its ears replaced with new wood. From the side. Photograph of a carved wooden owl with a repaired ear, now stained and waxed to match the original wood. It's not a perfect match, but it's damn close. Photograph of a carved wooden owl with a repaired ear, now stained and waxed to match the original wood. From the front so you can compare both ears. She is such a good owl, honestly. Best charity shop find.

Literally no one cares, but I'm so happy I finally made space for my dust collection in this corner of the workshop, rather than awkwardly just... around.
