That is a superb wall!

Every comment I’d made containing a link, a citation, naming a researcher, quoting a report or even naming a report is gone. They’re visible in my activity log but gone from the posts. Every single one.

A couple of times a week I try to engage with transphobes in the comments of things so that their views are at least challenged a bit. For the last few weeks it’s been on FB 🤢 and it used to result in a slew of awful notifications and abuse but this week there were only two. Checked my activity log.

Sometimes all you can do is try.

Dogs: predators descended from wolves.
Quincy: eats cauliflower.

It’s so good tonight.

Happy birthday!

Two signs in dark grey paint with white lettering reading ‘Northwood House’. The lettering is a very fine Roman style requiring a tiny brush and it’s clear that it’s going to need a second coat. The larger of the two signs has an arrow pointing down and to the left.

It’s lettering like this that makes me really wish we still had leaded paint. Second coat tomorrow. #signwriting

Lost Quincy for an hour in the woods yesterday; he was following scents so intently that he completely ignored me even when close, before taking himself home. Dick.
But standing silently in the woods waiting, three hares loped past my feet in the gloom. I could have reached down and touched them.

I stuck it on TikTok with Break on Through by The Doors and it worked really well.

Tyburn can’t quite reach the brain cell.

Someone who lived locally used to practise the saxophone in an acoustic sweet spot under the bridge. I’d listen while feral turtles whacked against the steel hull.

Watching Sky’s Landscape Artist of the Year and they’re at St Pancras basin, where I lived on a boat for several years in the late 90’s early 00’s. I left before the big renovations and it’s so different now. Nostalgic and homesick.

It is so funny!

That is a nice new one! I’ve been banned from calling Murph my current wife because apparently I find it funnier than is polite 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fingers crossed! I’ve had some successes with the throwing and rolling pin method, and have just taken delivery of some larger throwing batts for big dinner plates.

He’s so rude.

It is ridiculous.

Uhoh, school library worst days are really, really bad. Sending long distance supportive vibes.

In the random queue to get into the actual queue for Brandi Carlile tickets. 🤞🤞🤞

It’s gorgeously intricate.

That’s so cool, it’s immediately a seed pod. How large is it?

Isn’t he ridiculous?!

Signed and shared!

This is huge. My petition got approved. It challenges the UK government to the lift the Puberty Blocker ban on the grounds that it contradicts article 8 of The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child.

Teasel has melted.

I love the glaze on this. Those colours are stunning.

Aces! It’s going to be a busy year. Any plate tips? I’ve just ordered some Tyvek to try to avoid wiring off large plates - I made a couple last year and struggled to do it without hurting my hands ruining the base.

The pottery aim for this year is a set of dinnerware. It’s taken me a month to get eight side plates and six bowls in the first edition of tests and possibilities so with shapes to try out, glazes to test and then the whole making thing, I should be done by 2031.
