My sign.

Scary green witch figure with a sign "please do not play with the witch. She is fragile."

Some people doodle. My mother-in-law sews. Happy world squid and cuttlefish day!

A homemade green squid plushie with orange trim. Probably not anatomically correct. He's more than 2 meters from... um... the top body part to the bottom body part.

Predictably, I like Terminus. I remember being upset by it when I was a child because I liked Nyssa, and I didn't want her to be in peril. As an adult, I hate that she spends most of the episodes in her undies. I like the story though.

talpa esurit, sed difficile est ei vermiculum capere (The mole is hungry but it's hard for her to catch a worm). Silvius vermiculum prendit (Silvius grabs the worm). eheu! vermiculus sinuosus effugit! (Oh dear! The wriggly worm gets away!)

Photo of Silvius the little Latin mouse with a small plush mole. Silvius has caught a worm for her, but it's the wiggliest worm ever, and it is escaping over his shoulder before he can hand it over. Never mind, he can share his lunch with his new friend instead.

Tama Kyoryu (dinosaur) is a mascot for the parks of Tama Hills, Tokyo. It has acorns for eyes, grass on its belly, and flowers and trees growing out of it.

A round green dinosaur character with acorn eyes stands in a park.

The person who held the key to the secret in Ophelia's memory was her brother. Which doesn't matter to anyone except me. *grumps off* #DisappointingLyrics #EverybodyDiesInRomeoAndJulietToo.

A cool charity in Hoxton that teaches & gives disadvantaged kids skills in filmmaking has asked me a question:

Any female animators want to take part in a mentorship programme they run?

They've been doing good work for 25+ years.
