Growth is that a guy I used to work with (manager) is posting paint-by-numbers to Instagram, pretending they’re original, and I’m fine with it.

Yeah being out and social on an evening is nice and all but on the bus home all I’m thinking about is how excited my dog is going to be to see me.

The thing about publicly launching Woke 2 is that we already have a team working hard on pre-production for Woke 3. We’re hoping that the gap between Woke 2 and Woke 3 won’t be as long as the wait between Woke and Woke 2.

I was struggling with Kingdom Come Deliverance, but following a guide for it and could see I was near the end so decided to power through - turns out the guide was incomplete and after 35 hours I’m just under 2/3 of the way through and I am so beyond done.

After years of our press hand-wringing about the figures as from the "Hamas run health ministry". Utterly shameful. But will we learn anything, hold anyone accountable for our enabling of genocide? Of course not.
Israel accepts health authorities’ Gaza death toll is broadly accurate, saying 70,000 have died
Israeli military’s abrupt U-turn in accepting official figures comes after years of attacking data as ‘Hamas propaganda’

It has been a long wait but the sale of the land near Bath, UK has finally gone through. We now own 81 acres of land on the banks of the River Avon which we are calling Warleigh Nature Reserve.

New website on the way, but for now you can sign up here for email updates! warleighnaturereserve.org

“A moment ago I liked you and loved you; now I just love you.”

Silver making course has me learning techniques in copper! Definitely enjoying anything involving hammers with this.

Such refreshing messaging I really hope gets people at least talking.
Help us make hope normal again.

If I was positioning myself as a world leader I would probably spend about half a day just learning the names of the different countries just to be sure

I started a silver jewellery making course at the start of this year, and I didn’t think that the price of the course would go up mid-tuition because a baby wants Greenland.
