The two sides of Barry.

The white lipped green tree frog we call Barry as seen through the ripple glass window. His suction toes are visible as is a yellowish belly. The white lipped green tree frog we call Barry as seen through the ripple glass window. His suction toes are visible as is a yellowish belly.

It's plasma time! This such an amazing process.
#Plasma #PlasmaDonation #LifeBlood
An arm, horizontal, squeezes a red foam oblong. It rests on a big grey chair arm.There is medical equipment in the background and the room is large. There is a tube taped to the arm. It is pumping blood out to a machine that extracts the platelets.

Taking my favourite shoes to work.
#WorkLife #PublicTransport #ShinyRedShoes
A very shiny red patent leather ankle boot worn with pedal pushers. The shiny shoe is in stark contrast to the dirty blue and black lino floor of a public bus.

Iggy had a swim earlier and now is happy keeping an eye on the trolls in the pool.

A golden retriever lying in profile with her head down on a black and white striped cusion on a banana lounge. She is watching children in the pool, off camera. The pool is a green blue and there are tropical plants in the background.

Had a lovely swim and pool clean up. Few dropped fronds because it's been windy. 26 in the water and 28 out. AND our smallest frog just hanging out on the crouton.

A very green tree frog crouched but alert. He is sitting in the crouton leaf which are dark green with a combination of pink, red and orange spots

On my way to work. Going for a 'rock the government office' look.
A view down my body to the grey concrete of a bus stop. Short skirt, legs covered with a bronzing sparkle moisturiser and hot pink ankle boots. My toes are pointed inwards as this is apparently how I stand for best balance.

History will show that thanks to “Pinball number count” children around the world learned to count to 12. 😂 ( And be cool about it lol)

It is a scientific fact that no song has ever slapped harder than the 1977 Sesame Street funk/jazz Caribbean-infused banger "Pinball Number Count" by Walt Kraemer, Ed Bogas and The Pointer Sisters
Animation still of the segment, directed by Jeff Hale, recalling contemporary psychedelic and pop art styles, ornate pinball bumpers, colorful geometrical motifs and whimsical themes and devices inside the machine. Every color is present, and it is otherworldly and familiar all at once. It is bright trippy handdrawn animation that matches perfectly the stanky sound of the song

The celery is sacred
rubylith.bsky.social Ruby Lith @rubylith.bsky.social · Sep 20
This is Iggy and her celery. You can look but not touch.
A golden retriever sits side eying her human as she softly holds a tufty celery in her mouth. Out of sight is a wagging tail. She has a distinct proud look.

Just finished designing a simple résumé template I’m itching to test out. Anyone job hunting and want a free résumé edit?

You don’t have to respond publicly! Send me a hello email: kristin at detaileddraft dot com. I have time to do two next week.

Do you ever stop and wonder about all the amazing sentences that got away? The ones that never got written down and captured. Are they still there, somewhere in your head? Maybe they just fell out and rolled under the bed. #author #authors #reading #writing

How do you font?
I draft in Palatino, (it seems to be a default on Scrivener)
Then I change through at least two other fonts as I edit. Usually Garamond and one other that looks very different.
It helps me see errors I was blind to the first time.

What do you use?

Who needs a dose of spring? Because holy moly it's so SPRING here. 🌱
A set of pear tree blossoms about to burst open. A collection of tulips and daffodils in pink, purple and white. White cherry blossoms on a tree. White daffodils with bright white trumpets.

Gorgeous. I took photos of my work gardens today because the were looking so beautiful. All the tulips are coming out. 🌱 🇳🇿
A red Tulip amongst greenery with other flowers that are yellow and purple. A wooden outdoor bench with arms in front of a garden with lots of tulips of different colours. The work front garden with lots of foliage and flowers but with so many tulips of different colours, white, orange, red. So pretty. Work front garden with purple flowers, green foliage and multicoloured tulips.
