People were warned about #Brexit. They were told it would impact the country financially.

They still voted for Brexit.

Now prices are sky high and everyone is worse off...

We told them this would happen.

But they'd rather blame refugees than admit they were wrong.

Idiots.

Progress on the tree but I've changed the shape of it so will need more layers. Darkened the sky and added some detail to the water. Time for some of the finer details on the next session.

Very well deserved.

Next stage of Carlingford Castle. It's coming together but the wall, the foliage and the water all need a lot more work.

Husband (who was at a whisky tasting event all afternoon so can't drive) realised he had run out of cheese the very second I poured myself a glass of wine. He was like 'you've literally only had one sip, you're safe to drive.'

NOPE NOT EVEN AFTER ONE SIP! He can make do without cheese!

Got the foliage darks in now and the tree is taking shape. Will have another few layers building up the light levels. Next I want to darken the water at the bottom so it changes the vantage point to be more looking out across the water.

Ha! I feel like it on there. Like any minute someone's going to ask where my zimmer is!

TikTok is a weird platform. It seems to move faster than everything else! My favourite platform to use these days is Tumblr but it doesn't get the traction Tik Tok and You Tube do so I use those for promo. I do feel I might be the wrong side of 45 for tik tok though! 🤣

Spending the day writing with my Morricone playlist on in the background. #Bliss

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Poll from find out now showing greens on 15 and labour and Tories on 17. Reform on 32.

I'm sticking with the Greens. I think this is the most credible left leaning party in the UK at the moment.

Well done! I voted for you!

Up till midnight designing new book covers. That should mean early night and wine. But it won't. Life's one long marketing journey these days.

It's all trolls and bots baiting each other. Musk wanted it to be the town square but it barely qualifies as the town sewer now.

Bluesky is excellent for blocking. I had a troll message me. One press of a button and never seen or heard from the lunatic again.

Quite an early rendition of Hardwick Hall. I loved painting the flowers and the reflection on the building windows but I felt the bottom diagonal third of the pictire could have been used better. I should have tweaked the path too to lead into the house grounds. #landscapepainting #oilpainting

I adored Twitter for years but haven't regretted leaving. Nobody needs that level of toxicity in their life.

Supposed to be writing torrid romance but I keep watching videos of cats on pool tables! Really addictive.

I think what social media showed us is the root cause of the problems in our society. And it isn't racial, gender, class or cultural divides. It isn't left v right. It isn't Jews, Muslims or Christians.

We're destroying our home, our history and each other.
We're the problem. Humans.

I’m not Palestinian. I’m not Israeli.
I’m not from Manchester. But I am human.
And being human means my heart breaks
when innocent people are killed no matter
where, no matter who. Grief isn’t political.
Compassion doesn’t need a side. If you
still have empathy, hold onto it.

I have been shocked at how many people I know who have turned out to have hate in their hearts.

Horrifying. All holy places used to be sanctuary. If we cannot respect even the most fundamental if human beliefs then what hope is there for us as a species?

I will take this on board. About to add an Irish character in my series.

Supposed to be writing but I'm actually procrastinating by getting AI to make images of the surface of different planets. Pretty amazing.
