I had ONE job on my to-do list, so obviously I did like ten other jobs and my to-do list is still there waiting for me.

Very proud of our little town's creativity. Me & some other locals are creating more arts events, and this is our first pop up show. Hopefully the first of many more to come.

Oh and my weekly art newsletter is out. It's usually a personal reflection, something between a blog & journal.

I had been thinking of taking "The Hobbit" on holiday with me for this reason - hoping it would re-enchant me back into reading.✨️
Terrific advice from @clairemabey.bsky.social on how to return to reading over summer. Very on brand for me, but I totally tautoko her advice to return to a book you loved around the age of 12. The perfect way to re-engage with books, and yourself thespinoff.co.nz/books/30-11-...
How to start reading again this summer
This time it's really gonna happen.

The researchers say that the rats seem to genuinely enjoy – & eagerly anticipate – getting behind the wheel. "We found that the rats had an intense motivation for their driving training, often jumping into the car & revving the ‘lever engine’ before their vehicle hit the road.”
Scientists taught rats to drive – now they love getting behind the wheel

I'm supposed to be tidying up after our art trail weekend, but the weather is too good. I'm sure the mess will still be here after the sun's gone down.
