I just remembered the polite cat from years ago and my day got a little happier:

There are a whooooole bunch of settings in "advanced" that I did not know about and did not agree to. Most of them are highly subjective and therefore open to abuse.

Really disappointed (and not a little irked) that my "algorithm free" feed is being invisibly curated in this way.

As well as the Mini Painting I also have a Youtube channel from when I visit old buildings and things (and occasional folklore). Been a while since I've posted so here is a little "castle" you may never have heard of.

A lovely day out at Crossness with @baladine.bsky.social. A Victorian pumping station that is more like a cathedral than a sewage works. We learned about poo and ice cream.

there are many fine moral reasons to use alt text, but also there is a selfish one- you can search the memes you've posted over the years

Lower Decks pals just reminded me I designed the original Moopsy, which I had totally forgotten. The artists love to laugh at me for my crappy drawings. Enjoy.

This was such a pretty place. Somewhat random choice of destination that worked out really well 😁 Very well-kept with lovely, friendly and helpful volunteers.

Been a while since I've put up a video. But here is one from when I visited Knole in Kent. A lovely old grand house. Give it a look (and maybe my older videos if you haven't already).

My ever talented partner Sarah has been crocheting these super cute little Looshkins, and she’s shared the pattern HERE

So if you’ve ever fancied making your own Looshkin and you know how to do this sort of thing then do have at it πŸ’ͺ

Lots to do this weekend. Much LARP prep to sort but I got to tick off, go for a good walk this morning. Longer than my usual route around the block and much prettier in some woods 😁
