I've only got time for a Part 1 today - so here is #AdventOfCode day 2 part 1, using #RStats
I am quite certain that there is a more elegant way of solving this one, but it worked first time and I have other shizz to do tonight, so it will have to suffice!

I don't always remember to post my street art stuff on here, but I quite like how my Laika piece turned out.
She sold for a good cause too, which is cool, I didn't think anyone would be able to fit an 8 ft tall painting in their house, but in the end 3 people had a little bidding war! :)

post that women our age weren't raised to say that we are proud of our work / what we do (I'm doing her a slight disservice as she is 2 years younger than me)
But she's right, we should be able to.
Here's some recent work I'm proud of:

I had fun painting this today at Norton College in Worcester, I'm hoping it will encourage some of the kids to give the books a read :)

One of my birthday presents this year was this cool phrenology head. I've called him Dom because he kind of reminds me of Dominic Cummings :D

Possibly my movie of the year so far.
VERY glad I went in blind, as having watched the trailer since I got home, it would have spoilt so much.
So avoid the trailers, peeps, and go see this banger!
(stick around at the end too. mid creds AND post creds)

The #SixTheMusical pro shot was even better than I thought!
Soooo hard not to sing along, but for the sake of the rest of the Cineworld audience, I controlled myself :)

Last night: Descendents, Circle Jerks & Negative Approach in Bristol
First time I've seen any of these bands since the mid 80s and they've still got it!
The fact that they are all older than me but still have bundles of life and energy, gives me hope that maybe I ain't past it just yet :D

I saw this one last weekend, it is super faded now compared to your photo, but still lovely, even if a little more pastel....

The world is falling apart, but when you have a day out with friends with good tunes playing, lots of hugs, and we all get to paint our favourite kaiju, it seems a teeny bit less awful

I rarely do visuals, I'm a number cruncher not a word cruncher, but I needed a few wordclouds with lots of custom stop words, so I thought rather than use an online tool, I'd code them up in #Rstats so it was easy to access all the data directly.
Actually quite pleased with this output, go me!

Hmm. I might have already seen my worst film of 2025, and it's only half way through January.
The practical effects were nicely done. But sadly I have very little else positive to say about it. Sorry!

Twin Peaks is a masterpiece. I painted this just last year, pity it's no longer there (street art doesn't last long) as I would have gone back and added an RIP on there for DL.
Eraserhead also brilliant. Enjoy!
PS nice to meet you, and yes it's very pleasant here :)

Reeeeeeally, Duolingo?? :)
In a section named "talk about Ireland", after some fairly innocuous bits about the Taoiseach and the President, and the GAA, we're straight into "the men work in the bog" :)

I can tell that last night was the coldest one yet this winter, as it's the first time my iPad didn't manage to charge up overnight. I shall have to dig out its special winter charging blanket (yes it actually has one, it's one of my son's old cot blankies)
Does anyone else have this problem?

I've seen out the year watching the last couple of episodes of the 12th and final season of Letterkenny. I've kind of been putting it off because I didn't want it to end!
I sure am going to miss those hicks, skids and hockey players (and Glen and Tanis!)
How am I now? Sad, and you?

These are mainly things I've painted over the last year for paint festivals or just for funsies (a bit more "me" than most of my commissioned mural work)
Looking forward to getting back out there in 2025 in the springtime when the weather picks up
