A watercolour painting of a long-tailed tit with a yellowey-green background
This is a painting of a long-tailed tit, arguably the cutest bird we have in the UK. Theyโre very small, fluffy with long tails, and fly around in little flocks. Theyโre a regular in my garden and always make me smile ๐

I mean, I have a book contract that will run until I'm 70, so this is me. I'd probably stay on social media because I already mostly use it for socializing and farting about. Using it for marketing is a secondary thing (I recognize I am possibly unusual this way). So yeah, I'd be around.

All the GOPs that are allegedly getting death threats should go public together, name names, and form an independent voting block. That or resign their seats effective immediately. They have a moral and constitutional duty.

They used this building on Beverly and Gardner as the Peach Pit in the newer version of 90210. I drove or walked by it every day so would see them filming. One day while driving by, they werenโt actively filming and I saw Tristan Wilds. I leaned out the window and yelled โyo Omarโs coming.โ He liked that so he smiled and waved. I donโt usually take pictures within the city, but the last one seemed to be liked so here goes. Iโll be back to mountains, rivers and oceans soon enough I suppose.

This is yellow brain fungus! This parasitic brain-like fungus feeds on wood-rotting fungi such as rosy crust fungus. The best place to see it is in woodlands on deadwood branches of deciduous trees.
