I have some new merch in mail limbo, but with a little luck (and some naproxen and meditation apps), I may be able to get a new piece ready in time…

The heat has really been rough, despite my efforts to “toughen up”, but Oliver the Squonk has been coping at least- and we have gotten some gorgeous skies out of it at least?

In the meantime, it looks like Oliver hasn’t quite grasped the concept of masking up when the air is seriously “bleh”, but we’ll keep at it.
Seriously…. We all kinda smell like jerky versions of ourselves here…

Be well, my friends! 🩵😶‍🌫️

Great plan until the early evening unleashed an outside temperature spike, and a “refreshing” waft of second-hand forest fire. Fingers crossed for our Port Alberni neighbours 😥
