In an uncharacteristic turn of events, I'm sorting out Christmas stock early (for me - apparently 'the normals' do this sort of thing months in advance). Behold, my shiny trinkets. Long, tedious hours at the saw and diamond polisher await as I get these ready to be made into necklaces.
A selection of around 30 square and rectangular glass cabochons of varying sizes (between 5 and 10/15 cm). They are made with various fusible types of glass, each including an element of dichroic glass, which has a special textured coating giving it a reflective 'foiled' appearance, with multi-faceted colours ranging from pinks and lilacs, to blues and silvers. The colours of the cabochons are mainly icy blues, but there are some that are pink and purple, as well as emerald green. The cabochons have different patterns according to the type of dichroic glass that has been used - some patterns look like fish scales and some look like flowers, bubbles, other patterns look like crinkled paper or foil.

Been tinkering in the workshop with @nibus.bsky.social, evidently I'm going through my Blue Period
Rectangular piece of glass. An abstract seascape in various tones of blue appearing as horizontal stripes, interspersed with thin horizontal slivers of silver shimmer Rectangular piece of glass. An abstract seascape with various tones of blue, including some horizontal stripes of blue shimmer glass on the bottom two thirds. There are some muted neutral tones of glass in the middle of the piece, which are softly curved to give the illusion of dunes or rocks, and transparent blue/turquoise tones in the top third. The piece is smooth, there are tiny, delicate bubbles visible beneath the surface of the glass. A glass art piece appearing in landscape format. It comprises icy blue/turquoise tones and on the upper half, and an effect beneath the lightly blue tinted glass surface which gives the appearance of cracked ice. There are some transparent blue shimmer tones of glass running horizontally across the bottom. The piece is smooth on the surface. There are bubbles visible beneath the top layer of glass, giving the illusion of water. A glass art piece in landscape format. The piece comprises deep, transparent blues, with some streaks of shimmering blue and icy-coloured glass running horizontally across the piece. The lower half of the piece gives the impression of a sea bed with speckled, neutral shades giving the impression of sand which is visible beneath a transparent turquoise blue. The top layer is smooth and beneath the surface, bubbles are visible giving the impression of water.

They are! I'm so happy.

After a protracted period of everything being fucking terrible for us personally, as well as all the awful shite going on more widely, please share in this little corner of happiness with us. Behold this pair of furry twats who seem to have finally bonded after 5 months' hard work. #rabbitsarenobs
Two rabbits, one grey, one brown in a small bonding pen. They have a litter tray, water and some food. They'll be supervised for the next few days, then they'll move into their permanent and extensive luxury accommodation. They are a pair of absolute dickheads and I love them very much.

These entrepreneurs who're all like 'losing my job was the best thing to ever happen to me. I sold my wife and kids to fund *my terrible idea* and now I'm richer than you could possibly imagine, you bunch of sad povvos'.
Anyway, I've got this idea, it's called the ArmsUnder™. Anyone want in?

Wow, it seems like the annoying white, middle-class yoga moms were right, all I needed to do was ask the universe to provide. Look! An almost 10,000% increase on last week's 'generous' PO. The Milky Bars are on me, kids. FML.
A PO for one whole pound, up 99,999% on last week's PO for one penny.

I'd normally not touch the holiday cases for at least six months but we wanted to dig out our booty from that lovely human, @werkoderko.bsky.social, there was even more, but it all went in our big, fat, contented tummies.
A huge haul of German goodies, including sweets and biscuits, beer, crisps, spices, cream liqueur, jams, pet treats, and a MASSIVE horseradish root.

Can confirm that @werkoderko.bsky.social is as fabulous in real life as she is 'virtually'. It was wonderful to meet one of our favourite people, albeit briefly. And look at all the food she brought us!!! She's bloody awesome and marvellous.
A shopping bag filled to the brim with food for our journey and to take home. A picnic snack box with soft cheeses, grapes, blueberries and figs, and little cubes of hard cheese for our journey. A picnic box with pickled garlic, fresh cucumber and radishes, a little black of butter, and a tub of liptauer (I think)

All I wanted was some eyebrow gel, but now I have to plan the invasion of Gaul.

Us on our private jet, on the way to the Londis for some Nurofen.
A pair of smug bastards toasting each other on their private jet. They're off to get nurofen cos they aren't povvos and can afford branded painkillers, the big, flashy twats.

Feeling fancy, gonna treat myself to some ibuprofen.

I love my shady garden. I'm planting it up in the top half of our space. I'm planning to build a little waterfall and pond there eventually. It's where our office is and also where the bunnies live, and my little arbour, where I can sit to watch them.
A gothic style arbour painted black with green and white leaf print cushions on the seat. It has a gothic style mirror hanging on the back above the seat. There are two clay urns hanging on either side of the arbour with small ferns planted in them. On the ground, on either side of the arbour are hostas in pots.

To think it once looked like this:
Image shows two photos of the same garden, one on top of the other. Top photo dated July 2013 shows a digger sitting at the top of a long stretch of garden, which has no plants, only bare earth and the beginnings of a wall being built in the foreground with a cement mixer to the right. Bottom photo dated May 2014 shows new stone wall with flower beds in the foreground with steps leading into the garden with a pergola to the right and a greenhouse further along. There is some patchy grass but very few plants.

First time up on the moor since Timber Wolf died 16 months ago. A good day for letting go and clearing out the cobwebs.
A picture of the moor with a deep blue sky with wisps of white. There is an evergreen tree in the centre right midground sitting behind a stone hedge. In the foreground, a little stream flows down diagonally from middle left to the bottom right corner, cutting through yellow/green banks on either side. Long shadows of two people cast against the short yellowish moorland grass. The top third of the picture shows a brilliant blue sky with delicate wisps of white.

Yeah, said goodbye to this one today, wee Hamish Bunny. Wasn't being intentionally vague, just didn't want to spoil the wonderful book news. Very excited to read it.

Shout out to us, and that time we once very nearly joined a cult.

It was Andrew they wanted, tbh.

I guess 14 isn't to be sniffed at tho' I wish he could've managed a bit longer. Night night, Herschel, you were an epic bunny rabbit with the best waffly nose and most excellent ninja skillz. Hopitty hop, off you pop. Journey well, you furry menace. You were my favourite, don't tell the others. ❤️

Trouser hell indeed, perhaps we should get some of these? You could smuggle the entire buffet out in these, including the juices - latex, nice and waterproof.

And just for @nibus.bsky.social and @fortrenn.bsky.social, I included this thing on the 'tree' since Christmas isn't Christmas if you're not being haunted by Granny.
An accursed tree decoration - a pale-faced, glassy-eyed imp playing the accordion, dressed in white robe and hat. This thing is definitely plotting to climb down the tree and kill you when you're not looking.

I've even shocked myself. Decided to get in the Christmas spirit and raided the garden. Shoved some twigs in a bucket. Even my mother is pleased. Happy Christmas, blah, blah, blah, bah, bah humbug.

Gearing up for tomorrow's Christmas Dinner, which will be prepared for my pernickety mother courtesy of two tiny air fryers and a plug-in hob. Good job I am a creative GENIUS in the kitchen and resourceful is my middle name.*

Have spent 5 days ill in bed, which has pissed me off no end. Tonight I had a brief spurt of energy in which I went for a swim (see below), translated some exciting stuff my NDA says I can't talk about, and rescued some plants from the garden, am now ready for a further 5 days in bed b/c still ill.
Picture of a very small pool housed inside a converted railway waiting room. The pool is blue and surrounded by blue flooring. The ceiling is vaulted with beams and the walls are clad in pine decorated with framed prints of vintage travel posters. This is the pool I went for a swim in. It was VERY warm and I had it all to myself, mostly, I did have to share it with @nibus.bsky.social but that doesn't count.
