She’s enjoying it but I think it’s a bit of an obvious choice tbh. On the other hand, Margaret Atwood next perhaps?…

Um. No. Actually. That wasn’t what I was going to ask… I just wanted to identify the band whose picture disc I had as a kid but whose name I’ve forgotten

First walk of 2025. Walking along Offa’s Dyke as the sun was setting (unintentionally - we were beset but many obstacles and the walk took significantly longer than it normally does) and let me tell you, it was bloody cold. Beautiful, but cold.

Didn’t expect the walk today to include an obstacle course as well as all the mud. On the upside, my knees and hips are more flexible than I would have given them credit for

The cat, who has yet again pinched my slippers, trying really hard to persuade me that she would also enjoy porridge with honey and blueberries for breakfast

On a cold winter evening you can’t beat cwtching up in front of a real YouTube log fire. C’mon Toots, let’s crack open the chestnuts is it?

I’ve a thing for standing stones. These are my favourites. Don’t ordinarily get vibes and whatnot but this place in the Peak District was definitely giving off something good. Not sure where it is though. The photo is in a folder unhelpfully titled ‘Robin Hood’s Stride and other big stone stuff’

Just sang a song to the cat that I just made up about her but she is definitely not whelmed. Like, just not underwhelmed, pro-actively not whelmed

Repost with the first LP you bought with your own money.

Yesterday we travelled from Cardiff to the surface of the moon. By bus, tube, and on foot. Via St Pancras. Not because it was easy, but because it was hard.

On week 3 of a reduction linoprinting course. Been reduction printing already but I’m self taught so don’t know what I don’t know. I’ve learned so many new and useful things and the tutor is great. Really honest, helpful and encouraging. Process shots that lead up to the second layer.

Second attempt at a new linocut design. Mistakes were made first time. V annoying because I didn’t notice until I’d put the third colour down, by which point it was then obvious. Super frustrating. A brayer may have been shaken in anger. Trying again and I actually like this first colour better, so…

Was sitting on the sofa at about 5am yesterday with a coffee, coming to, my mind wandering where it would, and had ideas for new relief prints. Was bursting all day to get going with them and this is the first stage of one of them that I put down last night. I was V excited. The cat, not so much…
