Oops. Just realised these aren't so much immigration based, but they are on our Xmas Bingo card of annoyance when the elders air 'an opinion'.

If you'll allow me a Friday Shop Plug, I've got a new lino print in my Summerisle Procession series, and copies of my spooky book defaced with Krampus heads and the like. Reposts extremely welcome (Christmas is coming, lads)...

Some lovely oddments in here. Hippos have wandering testicles for a start. 🦛 🎱

It does! Hope your DD has a great birthday with the people who love her best x🌷

I’m the youngest sister. By the time I had my first baby in my late 30s my nieces and nephews were young adults. Life had moved on and my children were not on the radar. Sad. 😔

Someone build a Christmas Time Machine -- stat!

Happy birthday from me ... I know that feeling. I had my children later than my sisters, so mine were never remembered on their birthdays. It hurts, as when I was 'the childless one' I went over board to make sure I was a good Aunty and sent cards and gifts on their special day.

It works if I imagine the apostrophe as a little cocktail olive adorning the drinks. Or maybe a Moschino cherry @marcuschown.bsky.social

Yeah I’d prefer ’magbook’ :)

Hope Finn has a cosy place to keep warm 😺

He feels the cold, especially now he’s 10 😿

Stripy grey cat on a multicolour fluffy cushion - he’s wrapped in a crocheted scarf of many colours

Brrr. It’s cold for cats 🥶

It was! Just hated the word.

I’ll pass on that then.

Just got back from the doctor's. The bad news is that tests have revealed I have Onomatopoeia.
Naturally concerned, I asked, 'What's that?'
'I'm afraid,' he replied, looking up from his notes with a serious expression. 'It's exactly what it sounds like.'

Reminder: If it's snowing where you are, post with the hashtag #uksnow, the first-half of your postcode and a snow-rating out of 10 (x/10) and help draw a real-time map of where it's snowing right now on uksnowmap.com ❄️

#uksnow in West Sussex!

Edit out the frilliness of a Victorian ghostly encounter and it usually becomes ‘Thought I saw someone. No one there though.’

Just read the word ‘bookazine’ in an email and I have hate.

This is true.
The husband just found me having a little cry in my studio.
He’s making me a hot Vimto and I’m having a word with myself.
