Folks, as EU regulations, social media throttling, other stuff and now USA tariffs have been gradually murdering my small business, a wee ask..,

If you would, fancy following? It’s not just jewellery stuff, you’ll get things like cats too.

To me. To you.

Morning over the trent

#naturewalktothebus

What an excellent weekend!

Behold the glory of the summer crown I was delighted to make at a kindly run for free craft opportunity at #empirelarp 💚💛

A hand holding up a paperback edition of Matthew Ward’s “The Lie That Binds Them” against a blue sky with a few fluffy white clouds. A yellow bookmark pokes out of the top of the book.

📖 Next up in #HammockTime this afternoon is “The Lie That Binds Them” by @thetowerofstars.bsky.social, 📘 of “The Soulfire Saga” from @orbitbooks.bsky.social.

I read 📕 and 📗 in June and July last year, so don’t want to leave 📘 for too long lest I forget events 😅

As I pause to not stare at the laptop for a moment, dear heavens my absolute love to museum registrars, and collections managers of all types, as today I am sorting images documenting our current exhibited collections and ugh, absolutely cross eyed.

Just dropping this here again for anyone who's interested.

Rather than saying something grumpy about late running appointments, a huge appreciative fistbump for the nurse I saw who laughed and pulled a sympathetic “oh we’re both at that age” face at one point, and at another admitted she absolutely fails to be hydrated despite advising it all day.

So many butterflies! Walker around various parts of Hope Valley for three days or so, I felt like clouds of butterflies kept appearing. This butterfly bush was aptly busy, more wing than leaf.

Bees! From a rest at the side of Ladybower.

YouTube video by SuperfastMatt I Drove My RV Off A Cliff: Featuring The Insta360 X5

Thanks to @tomscott.com suggesting the Super Fast Matt video “I drove my RV off a cliff” I just spat carrot over my keyboard.

“Going full Loony Tunes we added an anvil” just levelled this entire thing up an extra tier.

Moss! Today you have a #naturewalktothebus from my adventures in the Dark Peak, because look at this luscious greenery, quietly and determinedly thriving atop the gritstone.

It rests when resources are rare, and fills with water to an amazing degree when available. Tenacious little system.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Odo (buckets of fun🎶) is pictured, but it's basically opposite day. He has different hair, a more flamboyant design on his uniform versus the usual drab and boring beige, and he's smiling while peeking out from behind something. Closed caption reads, "I was just oozing."

I hold out hope for “Class 4B and their recorder tribute to Queen”

A view from the garden, as there’s evidence of very enthusiastic Thrushes. Areas of the garden are a bit wild, which gives good hiding spots for a lot of snails under low plants and around a low wall. That is then good for the birds. *Badly sings Circle of Life*

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there

Rrrsssppp 😝

“Where’s my Best of Barry cd gone?”
“Quick, go and get the Gift From Scarborough out of the drawer…”

The novelty kind from holiday destinations?

Ohh, what song would likewise repel/exorcise you?

I continue to enjoy becoming my mum in certain aspects, such as age just meaning more confidence in wearing what I like tyvm, even if it could be considered a grab at dressing like my 20’s.

Also, Totoro socks quietly getting me through Tuesday.

First wild raspberry of the season ❤️

Feline and Wildlife Rescue Nottingham A Nottinghamshire based rescue aimed at rescuing stray and unloved cats, and rehabilitating and releasing British wildlife.

Try contacting fawrescue.co.uk as I know they do sometimes help birds, it’s not just cats! They might also have more low scale local level cintacts.

Here's a very anxious looking dragon from the same wonderful manuscript.

Reminds me of the student drinking game which involved a bit of everyone’s drink going into a glass, to become the punishment drink.

I think I have done very well this last hour or so not just giving up on text and writing “He was a very naughty boy” at A4 size (as my brain slowly gave up, the cat stomped repeatedly on the keyboard, and the heat has been rising)

The solution?
Text needs to go over two panels.
Now, G&T.

On a scale of how to judge engineers and contractors visiting your house, a respectful determination to befriend your cats is high ranking for Good Person score.

Staring out of the window for a few minutes as I contemplate
A. Can I bend space sufficiently for the display cabinet I’m planning for
B. What missing item will vex people the most (I can’t include it all!!)
C. Why wasn’t “Turn it 45 degrees and you can probably fit more” in my degree at any point?
