After doing some painting and making a veggie lasagna from scratch for later, I feel I can game for the afternoon.
I'll be staying in tonight , sore throat, plus the laundry room's out of action , figure if I don't get dressed that's less laundry to cart to Bloke's tomorrow.
Also , I can't be arsed.

Ok this has ended up being far more mixed media than intended, as I laid down too much metallic paint at the start.

It's been more than a year I think , since I did any of my undersea creatures on black paper like these two jellyfish ( I appear to have misplaced the other jellyfish and squid 😦) , I think it's time I added some more. #watercolour #jellyfish

Already booked a guesthouse for that Goat gig in August, just in case some big star books a Croke Park gig later and the prices go crazy.
It looks suspiciously nice and well reviewed for the price for Dublin .
Also a convenient 4 mins walk from one of my preferred Dublin pubs. Not that I know many !

After my giving out about UK mates suggesting Dublin gigs , seems I am going to that Goat gig in Dublin after all.
My best mates in Cork are going.
Pretty excited , as the last few times I saw Goat in the UK it was in venues with over 2000 capacity, whereas The Button Factory is around 500.

Home after a long daytime session. Selfies posted because a good mate said I looked like Cecil B. DeMille's assistant and while the assistant bit rankles , I like the appreciation of my tweed pants

It's the year 3226 and in the toxic wasteland previously known as the UK people scrape up moss from the decaying ruins for something to eat.
The desperate survivors still hear the nasally cry of "This is why we need a proper Brexit" ringing from the darkest recesses of what were once the sewers.

I was looking at cats for adoption yesterday, as I may actually be able to have one within the year (probable moving in with Bloke on the horizon), and I feel it is important you all know there was one called The Great Catsby

Day 2146 #ArtKicksCovid19 "Study of a Kingfisher" (1871) John Ruskin. Ashmolean Museum. This is a vibrant example of Ruskin’s "truth to nature" philosophy. Created during his tenure as the first Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford, the work was intended as a teaching aid to encourage students

Mates in Kent in the UK sending me links to gigs I should go to in Dublin , lovely that they think of me , but failing to realise it'd be like me sending them gig suggestions in Manchester.

Every so often I buy a packet of Wagon Wheels to try and recapture the joy of a treat from the shop from my childhood, only to be reminded, that unlike that great French and Saunders sketch , they are not the size of your head and far less of a treat , even by 1970s standards.

Just passed a toddler at the Lough wearing a turquoise and black dinosaur themed quilted, zip up romper and found myself contemplating if I could get away with a similar outfit.

My flat inspection by the building's new owners is happening between 9am and 12pm . Of course it wasn't at 9. So I've been up since 8 stressing . Hopefully only 15 minutes of anxiety left.
Well other than the fear after that of expecting an eviction letter every time I check the post.
