When not working I strum my guitar, and fondle my synth. And then shoot a roll of film on a cheap vintage camera. Stupid curly hair. Books are great.
Brief mention on Independent this morning

Currently reading 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell' for the first time. I'm enjoying it, but it's a bit slow. Is there a law that says fantasy books have to be a thousand pages long?

Latest and last - for now -artwork from @mooseallain.bsky.social the long tailed tits with intense yellow background. They really brighten the room! Might swap the townsfolk about yet, and yes one is wonky. (The one at far right is from Gruff Rhys's Hotel Shampoo tour, not Moose)

Got the #film negatives back from #folderweek I just need to get them to stay flat so I can scan them in. The contact sheet looks promising, although there's a double exposure on one frame, which should be impossible with this camera

1lb Seeded loaf. It went very well dunked in lentil soup. I sliced it first.

I really enjoy the little extras that come with the art, like this rat - thank you!

My latest @mooseallain.bsky.social original #art has arrived, hurrah! I've rearranged the Townsfolk to make room for something horizontal to go above, I'll see come payday what that is. Probably another Moose tbh. I find these really brighten my rather drab wall, and thus cheer me up

I was wide awake at 7am and sunlight was streaming in (first nice day this week) so I went out and shot a roll of #film on this Zeiss Ikon 517/16 for #folderweek some of my store of #120 is rather expired so that's my project for the summer, to use it. Today I used Fomapan400, and a yellow filter.

I'm growing spring onions on my windowsill (you can keep them going for months) and I've got my first flower

And the back of the invoice has these awesome characters! I'm tempted to buy a pack of pencil crayons now

My first - probably not last - @mooseallain.bsky.social print has arrived to brighten my room/day

So I'm trying to get back into reading like I used to read. These were gifts for my birthday a few days back.

Turns out my #akai S20 sampler does work, it was dodgy FDD cable. Question now is so I keep it and use it, or sell on eBay? Going back to using floppies seems a mad direction to be heading in

Farewell, Creative Zen Stone Plus. Your screen has finally gone black after years of service, followed by more years of sitting in a drawer (with the occasional charge) #rip #mp3

currently listening to this, live recording of a great band making stuff up for 20 minutes at a time. Reminds me of The Necks in the way they just streeetch out into the improvisations. This has effected Alto sax and guitar instead of piano.
