Enjoyed the mist this morning.
Misty or foggy landscape, rural Japan. The sun a diffused light in the grey

Good morning.
A sunrise over some suburban bungalows. Peach and mauve and bruise.

I ASSUMED THEY WERE REFERRING TO THE GIANT BOW ON HER HEAD

Couldn’t click on the link fast enough. (It was for the frock.)
M&S ad “Getting them exactly what they want - there's no better feeling. Shop gifts online now.” With a picture of a super cute little black girl with red Mary Jane shoes, a black and white vertically striped dress reminiscent of a humbug, and an ENORMOUS red bow balancing on her head. The bow is easily as big as she is, if not bigger. It’s exactly what **I** want.

Oh what a tangled web we weave,

In our corner shop they have Cadbury’s Crème Eggs and it feels a bit last minute for next Easter compared to the trailing this budget has had

The baby discovers fire.
A white and tabby cat peers into a stoneware cut-out tealight holder, her foolish little face lit up by the flame within. It is probably one of the first times she’s seen such a thing, as she is too much of a menace to light candles around. I’m quite literally playing with fire.

He nodded. “But a useful one,” he said.

Another divine Jill McDonald Puffin Post cover, full of her characteristic sense of capering, madcap motion and joyful atmosphere always edged with something a little darker & more surreal
The colourful cartoon cover of a 1976 puffin post magazine featuring cosily woolen wearing puffins gambolling on green grass under giant falling autumn leaves in pink orange gold and brown with the title Puffin Post in red letters outlined in black in the top right corner with a pale blue grey sky as the background

Can I interest anyone in a spare seated ticket for My Bloody Valentine in Glasgow on Thursday? Open to offers, happy to take less than face value.

How glorious to see Penguin Cafe perform music from the Penguin Cafe Orchestra this evening. Just the most wonderful night.
Three musicians wearing penguin heads, on a stage lit with purple lights.

My 'Festive Boughs' designs celebrate the tradition of bringing the outdoors inside at Christmas and can add to a lovely, natural festive display 💚

This is a photo of some linocut greeting cards displayed hanging under, and standing on, a mantelpiece. They are pictured with other objects such as fir cones, ivy and holly sprigs, fairy lights and a felted pompom garland. The colour palette is restricted mainly to red, green, gold and white.

These interiors were the highlights of our visit to the new V&A East Storehouse today. The Frank Lloyd Wright, especially wow!
large room made from beautiful plywood. designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1937. Displayed as a whole room in the V&A space. wooden walls and floor and ceiling. wooden desk and three chairs. cream rug. calm lighting. Frankfurt kitchen in green. no space wasted. cupboards and a sink. tiled floor and walls. Designed in 1926. hallway from Robin Hood Gardens, an estate in east London, now demolished. carpet. dramatic yellow wallpaper. a door to a room and wooden barrier to protect the stairs at the top of the landing. very stylish.

Don’t take me to the local craft fair. I have a phobia of scrabble tiles that aren’t being used for scrabble, buttons on anything other than clothes, and brooches in general.
