My occasional post for people who have followed me for printmaking (thank you!), explaining that most of the grown-up printmaking stuff happens over on my Substack, which is completely free by the way.

An excellent idea. I ask myself if something got left behind if I moved 200 miles, would I either drive back to get it or go out and buy a new one? If the answer is no to both then I (try to) get rid of it.

Right now this is weirdly appealing.
It’s that time of year when we all have a clear out of stuff we don’t need.
For those living in the Almshouse in the Hall between 1373 and 1900, you didn’t have that much room for clutter.
This small niche is where all your worldly possessions would have been stored.

Does that not mess up your Instagram? I remember when Threads first started people found they were inextricably linked and couldn't delete their Threads account, but maybe they've fixed that.

Very much looking forward to my copy arriving. *excited face*
Hello new and old followers and those in between.
This is going to print this week (I’m told) so if you wanted to get one, you can order it here.
No worries if not obviously.
New orders to the US have been suspended though I’m afraid. Something about tariffs

I'm not so sure about 'poor lady'. She sounded an equal nightmare.

You have to assume these two were 'matched' because they were the only two who applied. Within the first few lines you are crying "Please stop, it's already dead" 😱

A: It doesn’t matter.”

Hopeful singletons Gaby and Jonathan met for dinner at Delicatessen in north London, where the food was kosher and excellent – but what about the chemistry?

New bag of Sainsbury's frozen blueberries - 360g
Bag just finished - 400g
The price increase might be unavoidable; the assumption that we won't notice is what is insulting.

Serious question: does the ban on junk food advertising before 9pm apply only to live TV? Because I'm seeing a lot of McD ads on streaming services during the day 🤷♀️
