…And then a flying visit to see the @gameslondon.bsky.social team and collect a mysterious & beautiful object they were looking after, for a future display @nvmuk.bsky.social. (thanks @ustwogames.co.uk - more soon!)

On the road today for a change - returning some loan items to Lumino City makers State of Play (models that starred in @nvmuk.bsky.social’s Art of Play exhibition.)

@helpsheffield.co.uk Runners Wristwatch found (not the one pictured) Norton Playing Fields, Warminster Road, Sheffield - if it could be yours, let me know. (Also any other suggestions where to post? Or let me know if anyone’s seen a “lost” post that could be the one!)

In case anyone is wondering, this (see pic) was the dataset for the “panda” quote:

- 1 woman
- 1 panda 🐼

Been looking at this wrapping paper from John Lewis for a while. Kudos to the designers because it say’s:
FA, LA, LA, LA!”

But, also if you look closely it occasionally says “FALAFAL” -

So technically it is a “Falafal Wrap”.
