I'm making my partner an EDH deck for Christmas, based on the Deadpool secret lair I got them earlier this year. I'm focusing on making copies of the commander, it's going to be VERY silly and I'm excited to see it in action!

My neon yarn has arrived! Time to start on my next blanket project 😁
This is half the colours, couldn't afford to buy it all in one go. There's turquoise, blue and purple to come.
#crochet 🧶
5 skeins of acrylic yarn in very vibrant colours. Neon pink, orange, yellow, green plus an emerald green.

We introduced our new rats to our old rats, and they're all getting along brilliantly!
This is a little surprising because the new guys were originally from a pet shop, and so we thought they might be a bit aggressive/ hormonal/ unfriendly.

I was lucky to find an ad for three 6 month old pet shop rats looking for a new home. Eventually we'll introduce them to our oldies. This is their brother Digger.
Poor quality photo of a ginger rat with red eyes perched on a wooden shelf. He's a little bigger that the others.

Happy #Raturday from Francis and Bug, two of our new rescues!
Two small adult rats looking at the camera from the opening in a fleecy cube hammock. Francis is on the left, he is pure white with red eyes. Bug is on the right and is a black hooded red, his fur is slightly scruffy and curly. They are extremely cute and curious, holding on to the hammock entrance with their tiny hands.

Without downloading any new pictures, post your portrait
A beautiful white rat sitting in a miniature ceramic bathtub. The rat fills the tub, its chin is resting on the edge at one end, and its eyes are closed. Underneath are two text comments. The first reads, "Despite all my chub, I am still just a rat in a tub." The second says, "Despite all my wrath, I am still just a rat in a bath."

I keep rats who are pretty chill, I've always wondered about chinchillas. They're just so soft! Thank you for the reply!
Here's Winston enjoying a spot of pea-fishing.
A beige rat with darker points on his ears, nose and tail is crouching by a water dish with peas in it. He's holding a pea between his little hands.

Finished my latest crochet project... I call her Irene (Trypanohyncha Ocellus) from Alien:Earth.
Made from yarn scraps, I looked up an amigurumi sphere pattern and winged the rest.

And look at this! One of my mam-in-law's ancient roses is going to bloom! I haven't even got around to repotting this one yet. It's in absolutely ancient soil.
Thick bare woody stem next to a newer shoot with green leaves and a small pink rosebud. Overhead shot of the pot. The rose has new growth from two sides, but it's still looking pretty bare and sad. The soil has dead moss on top, and is very old. Close up of the perfect pale pink rosebud.

A sleepy black hooded rat's face peeks out from the corner of a hammock. His sleepy arm is dangling, white fingers relaxed. The vibe is extremely chill.

My guess would be leucistic Canada goose too. Only other thing similar in my bird book is the barnacle goose, and it isn't that!
Page in RSPB Birds of Britain and Europe open at Barbacle Goose. A bird similar to the Canada goose, but with different patterns of black and white on its head, amongst other differences.

14 years of knowing this very, very silly person today (and 13.75 years of marriage).
Here's to the next 14 years of being deeply unserious people 💕
A very tall femme non-binary person in a black short-sleeved jumpsuit and with grey hair cut in a bob, is pulling a silly grin at the camera with a wooden skewer gripped between their teeth. They are stood directly behind me with their hands on my shoulders. I am a short non-binary person in a white shirt, navy tie and paisley blue waistcoat. I have black hair in an asymmetric short style,and I'm giving a wide mouthed smile at the camera. We're both a bit shiny and loose thanks to the copious prosecco being served at our friends' wedding.

QRT with a title screen that's iconic to you
The dos game Alley Cat from 1984. Pixilated graphics show a tiny black cat sitting on a ragged fence. The fence has graffiti on it (including the grass LOVE THEM MOUSES) and trash cans of varying heights sit in front of it. Text reads IBM Presents Alley Cat by Bill Williams. The colour palette is very restricted - black and white, magenta sky and cyan fence.

It's a sleepy Sunday here.
Batman is curled up asleep in his hammock. He is a black and white rat. His big monkey feet are relaxed and his tiny hands are curved under his chin. His eyes are relaxed, his fur is fluffy and the vibe is sleepy comfort. Winston, a siamese rat, is lying down inside a fleecy hammock. His eyes are almost closed, his ears are relaxed and his tail is draped in front of him.

Who needs a moment of calm? Put the sound up- the only things you'll hear are the breeze and the cow eating.
We had a wonderful weekend in a shepherd's hut up by Hadrian's Wall.

Our view is of a human looking head with a transparent window on the back of the skull, revealing a rat inside whi is jagering the body. Text in black capital letters overlays the image reading "Y'All know where I can get some fucking cheese?".

Did a few mins of wheelchair gardening. Flowers are looking lush, if a little crispy in places.
Couldn't stay, it's too hot for me! Met Office says 23.
Small back yard garden. A couple of raised planters, one with iris and lily, one with pink carnations. A few terracotta pots with a variety of foliage. Close up of a classic iris flower. Deep purple with flashes of yellow. Close up of a saturated fuschia pink carnation flower, with small water droplets on the petals.

I've had a bad case of the morbs today. It's understandable, it's a stressful time.
So please help keep my spirits up by congratulating me on how gorgeous my recently improved rattoo looks.
Black and grey tattoo of a rat. He is in profile, and has a sweet face but cartoon simple hands and feet. The reworked tattoo. The hands and feet are larger, more detailed and realistic. His colouring is piebald, with darker black patches. He has dark hands and feet such cover up the old ones. He has more detail in his ears, and soft pink colour added to ears, nose and tail. He is holding a berry in his hands. Somehow his head is more 3D. She worked magic on him. He looks 500% better.

I'm sorry everything's so tough. Richard says, "Hi! Do you have any banana chips?"
Very cute rat face peeking over the edge of his hammock. He has off white fur, dark eyes and enormous pink dumbo ears.

A three-way-spoon and a relaxed Richard.
View into a covered fleece hammock. Three rats are lying side by side spooning with each other. Batman is closest to us, with a black head and back stripe. The centre of the softest sandwich is Winston, a creamy beige Siamese. The rat furthest from is is Steiheb, and all we can see of him is white fur with some grey spots. Batman's hand is resting on Winston's shoulder, Winston's back foot is curled over Stephen. A white rat with half-closed dark eyes and big pink dumbo ears is leaning his head and one shoulder out of a fleecy hammock house. His hand is curled into a relaxed fist dangling in the air.
