Extraordinary research and remarkable story.

They have WHAT? Argh...

Oh goodness, I've got one.

Very sorry you're unwell and hoping you have a quick recovery. Take the time you need. ( but of course we'll all miss your minute badly.)

I need at least 3 more folk to sign up for my Edinburgh Adult Education Programme archaeology classes at Craigentinny, or the course will be cancelled. If you know anyone who might be interested, please let them know. Thank you!

This woman posts absolutely beautiful, inspiring and heartening content, I can only imagine her workshops would be exceptional.

Coloured-in hand drawn advent calendar by Moose, featuring Big Foot in 2025.

Thank you very much @mooseallain.bsky.social for the wonderful annual chance to colour. Loved the 2025 Big Foot advent.

If this doesn't gladden your heart, yours must be very unlike mine!

Thanks for all the excellent minutes, very much appreciated, for the clarity, enthusiasm, clear-eyed views and wit. Have a lovely Christmas and a great rest.

Bought two!

Merry Santa Lucia’s day. She symbolises light in winter, hope in the darkness.

Glad you've not turned into your badge !

Who does not appreciate a fine curve?

My blackbird necklace design. I hand-sculpt each of my bird necklaces individually in recycled silver.

It would be so helpful if you could RT my post above about my Etsy shop. I haven't been able to work for more than half the year due to severe depression/a breakdown. If you see this & could spare a few moments for a RT it would help me put my designs in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿

I would LOVE that. The owl is so lovely. I sent you a pink cloud picture on another thread, as a cheer. Your work is absolutely inspirational, and I'm sorry about the glooms.

A beach view, with pink tinged clouds on the horizon, and some of very that colour reflected in the wet early morning sand. With a tiny dog disappearing bottom left.

I also find great heart lift from a pink cloud, all times of year but dawn ones are especially great at the moment. Here's today's.
