Sam has a pretty good shirt!

Restricted to house by fractured pelvis so working on “trauma teddies “ for kids in hospital. 4-ply and 8-ply sizes.

I got mad about people/governments the other day and ordered this from Effin’ Birds. Covering bits so not to offend delicate sensibilities. Trying not to laugh.

Doug Hoese has just received his copies of our book! Mine still stuck in truck queue behind floodwaters. He says photos look spectacular- Nonn Panitvong has done us proud.

They are lovely! Here is the view from our verandah where I knit sometimes. Was first day of sun after two weeks constant monsoon rain.

Delivery of the goby book (first 2 volumes) has begun. Order at siamensis.co if you’d like a set.

Need your gobies identified? You need these books - first two volumes out now. Still writing vols 3-4!

Nordy the Spotted (aka Nordmann’s) greenshank has a damaged foot now. Fifth time that he/she has visited the Cairns mudflats and has not told any of its compatriots how many good crabs and small fishes there are here.

Mock-up of covers for deluxe edition of Gobioids of the World (in posh slip case). Cost $$!? Website for orders not yet functioning.

Gobioids of the World volumes 1&2 now being printed at Siamensis Press!

Marine gobies are the best. My new shirt with artwork by Courtney Hildebrandt,

My task for the New Year; describe these. Much prettier before preservation!

Am here in Auckland at IPFC and forgot about Bluesky. All I’ve seen is rain. But Fish tomorrow!
