Also, if anyone wants to borrow a tall 'grid panel display' (plus some magnets) for the day, or finds that a sturdy trolley might be useful for half an hour, let me know! I'll have them with me anyway.

Apparently the Kennington loop is deeply haunted!
I'm so tired of thinking about the Underground, but my brain is now happily generating an entire collection of scenarios ideas around it... 🚇

Right, who's at today's @forteanlondon.bsky.social event, 'The Haunted Landscape'?
I'll bet there's a bunch of you who I know but can't spot in a crowd. 😅

I wish we had maglev trains in the UK. Not just because they're fast, but because they're a smooth ride.
I'm trying to touch up an iPad drawing while on a pendolino, and drawing a tidy and accurate line is a right mission, even with Procreate's assistance. 🫠

Things that are definitely not on my to-do list today:
- Sit on a specific park bench.
- Carry a particular newspaper.
- Greet a stranger who sits down next to me with a comment about the north wind in Moscow.

I'll also be bringing a couple of the TERMINUS mosaics along to display on the stand at Dragonmeet!
I spent actual days working on these, and half-mangled my hands in the process, so please come and admire them to validate my silly artistic choices. 😅

Oh OF COURSE Brighton is gloriously sunny, what with me being dressed for full dreary winter.
Honestly, these photos are taken about 30 miles apart. The impact of the South Downs on the local weather is wild.
At least Whale Hat gets to see the sea, even if it isn't raining.

Whale Hat is cute and likes to make an appearance on damp days. 🐳💕
The shadow from the brim also helps to conceal the horrendous bags under my eyes. ✨

I'm generally not great at puzzle games and tend to lose interest quite quickly, but Spooky Express has been the perfect level of difficulty (and the hints system doesn't just solve everything for you).
It's also charming! 🧛🏻✨

Made some solid progress on tidying up the TERMINUS artwork while lurking on the back rows of panels, which was good.
Now on the train home, reviewing the final line edit. I've pranged summer nerves in my right hand, so I'm not sure how legible these notes are, but I'll decipher them later. 😬

Friends, do say hello if you spot me because I am *terrible* at noticing familiar faces in a crowd.
You'll likely find me in corners and on back rows, working on final edits for TERMINUS. 😅

So it turns out that photographing very reflective artworks is actually a little tricky...
I bought an umbrella to reduce reflections; the listing wasn't joking when it described the umbrella as 'oversized'...
Picnic bench for size comparison. 😂

It's been a very busy few days, and I am very tired.
Also, my spine and finger joints are letting me know that they're very unhappy about my life choices.
Shout-out to a friend, Bex, for helping to create this cheery mosaic face while I was learning to paint freehand lettering on the fly.

I'm looking at the catastrophic mess I've made of my dad's kitchen in less than 24 hours (as I shove art materials out of the way to make enough space to eat dinner), remembering how I described TERMINUS as a 'quick little project' back in February, and laughing the laugh of the overtired.
