It does seem an odd thing, said by people who weren't there.

Possession
Acrylic and plastic bags on cardboard. This is a weird one. Halloween times. This painting is on cardboard and all warped. I don’t think I want to flatten it out as I like it warped and sinister.

I will call out anyone who makes generalisations about ‘boomers’ and their affiliation to the Right. We were the generation at the vanguard of the fight against racism, sexism, protested against Vietnam. There are multitudes of us who still hold those views and are horrified by what is happening

2016 A painting that went all wrong.

Picture of looking down a seaside bank to the sea. A muggy foggy day. Windows and gables. I then tried to paint the trees that covered some of it. Not a success.

You know how hard it can be to clean out a pan that has contained mashed potatoes? Not any more! You can hire the Daphne Spudagone 1000 for a mere £10.00 and say goodbye to your grainy pan nightmares. It’s what a cat’s tongue’s for.

He spent 20 hours in this box yesterday and hasn’t sat on a lap for four days, since the box arrived. What is it with cats and cardboard?

Quite a large cat (Wolfie) asleep, squeezed into a small, cardboard box.

The Green Party has officially voted to end the badger cull, passing a motion at its October conference to enshrine this stance in party policy. 🦡

And this Monday, Parliament will debate Protect the Wild’s petition to end the cull once and for all. The fight continues. ✊
