Lives in Swindon UK, maths/stats nerd, paints murals, reads comics, grumbles fairly politely at ice hockey referees, watches a lot of sci fi and horror movies, has a big fat crush on Lee Pace.
A friend of mine (face obscured to protect the innocent) posted this this morning.

I thought she was at a special, festive Bring Me The Horizon gig. I was so jealous!

Until I realised that, no, she's in Bournemouth :)

Well - I only got half way this year in #AdventOfCode :( It has been an insanely busy December and I just didn't have the time! I always say I will come back in January and finish it off, but I never do. Maybe when I retire :)

Here's #AoCDay6 using #RStats

Happy Christmas R-heads!

Oops - I forgot to post #AdventOfCode day 5 #AoCDay5 #RStats

I was a bit smug about this one because I solved it fairly quickly - and part 2 (which seemed to trip a lot of other people up) was an absolute doddle, because I'd already done most of the work in part 1 - pure luck really

This year's #ArtVsArtist round up.

These are some of the street art pieces (plus one canvas) I painted in 2025 just for fun. For my commissioned work (a little less technicolor! :) ) please see @murals_bysarah on insta.

Happy christmas all, and all the best for 2026

I was on an #AdventOfCode roll last night - completing both #Day4 and day5 (but I'll post day 5 tomorrow)

For once I had an evening free of commitments to work or family - so I could attend to my commitment to the elves :)

First matrix puzzle this year

I'm so behind with these!! but it has been a busy month, sometimes the elves have to take a back seat, sorry elves

#AdventOfCode day 3 - I basically used the exact same approach for parts 1 and 2, so here they both are

Don't you just love it when a #AdventOfCode part 2 is easier than the part 1?

Luckily I had this niggling feeling that I'd seen someone use a regex to identify repeating patterns in an old AoC puzzle a couple of years back, and clever past Sarah had made a note of it, go me!

And it is so blooming good!

I had the privilege of being one of the first people to see this anthology as I helped with some proof reading etc, and I was blown away.

Loads of pages for your money, all killer no filler, proceeds to a great cause. What more do you want?

This new 104-page anthology I designed and edited has 25 creators celebrating and exploring the them of influence

A great long read and a good cause

Had a ton of fun today in Cheltenham, painting this homage to one of my favourite movies of all time.

The Wicker Man (1973)

I was late to starting #AdventOfCode this year as I've been a bit busy - I didn't even realise that we only have 12 puzzles for 2025. Sob.

Probably just as well as I am rusty as a rusty thing, and made a bit of a pig's ear of the second bit of this one!!

Day 1 parts 1 and 2

I've only got time for a Part 1 today - so here is #AdventOfCode day 2 part 1, using #RStats

I am quite certain that there is a more elegant way of solving this one, but it worked first time and I have other shizz to do tonight, so it will have to suffice!

I don't always remember to post my street art stuff on here, but I quite like how my Laika piece turned out.
She sold for a good cause too, which is cool, I didn't think anyone would be able to fit an 8 ft tall painting in their house, but in the end 3 people had a little bidding war! :)

post that women our age weren't raised to say that we are proud of our work / what we do (I'm doing her a slight disservice as she is 2 years younger than me)

But she's right, we should be able to.

Here's some recent work I'm proud of:

This is extraordinary. To cut the ribbon at the opening of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC in 1976, they got the Viking spacecraft, then orbiting Mars, to send a signal to the arm from the engineering model of the Viking lander. And poof! It burnt through the ribbon.

To be fair, he did warn us all that we were never going to survive unless we get a little crazy.

Oh no, not again!

I had fun painting this today at Norton College in Worcester, I'm hoping it will encourage some of the kids to give the books a read :)

One of my birthday presents this year was this cool phrenology head. I've called him Dom because he kind of reminds me of Dominic Cummings :D

Possibly my movie of the year so far.

VERY glad I went in blind, as having watched the trailer since I got home, it would have spoilt so much.
So avoid the trailers, peeps, and go see this banger!

(stick around at the end too. mid creds AND post creds)

Apparently we can upload videos here now?

Here's a little ⚽️ themed bedroom wall makeover that I painted for a local football crazy kiddo last weekend:

The #SixTheMusical pro shot was even better than I thought!

Soooo hard not to sing along, but for the sake of the rest of the Cineworld audience, I controlled myself :)
