After work, I usually do some personal sewing to wind down. Tonight I did something a little different -- a little kakapo painting! I think I'll keep doing little paintings, this was nice :)

Supposed to be doing stuff. Moving out of house tomorrow. Am shut down. Cant. Too much. Going to bed. Will scroll 'til eyes get sleepy, hypnotic state. Cat will bounce in, wet through, about 2am. Partner of 7yrs snoring next door. Sated; that emptied bottle of vodka wedged in crevice behind his bed.

It sounds different in our wee home at night since vodka became a guest here again. The house holds its breath. I hold my breath. There isnt enough room for three of us. The guest leaves it's presence everywhere; sluggish confusion, manic conversation - but at night it suffocates with expectancy.

If only my nan hadn't died in 2009 and had moved from Kimberley, Nottinghamshire, to Silicon Valley. I reckon her "move slow and repair things" motto would have worked out much better for everyone.

How do you learn to thrive, after so long just barely surviving?
How do you take that feeling of being stuck in heightened alert and reset your nervous system so it can support you instead of killing you?
How do you finally move your focus back to making your own health the most important story?

This grew from my fingers tonight. I'm not sure where to release it, so leaving it to rest here for a bit.

Three of the top five British grid electricity records smashed in 2025!
This is a huge success story, despite what Russian bots and U.S fossil fuel shills scream on X.
Every unit of clean domestic energy we produce means a safer future for our children…🥳

2025 was a year of pure mischief for Simon’s Cat, from battling birds to braving the vet (again). Let’s rewind and relive the chaos in FULL COLOUR 🌈 www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0cN...

I've decided to listen to one album a day, every day, for the entirety of 2026. I'm open to suggestions but I make no promises about listening to them

The monsters. Roxy, the 10yr old 3-legged rescue staffy and McLaren one of our tuxedo rescues. These two, inseparable since bringing this 4th mogg home 2yrs ago. 💕

Films I watched in 2025, what will hopefully be a very long thread: last year’s here as I know it’s useful to be able to benchmark for my (lack of) taste accordingly.
Films I watched in 2024, what will hopefully be a very long thread. 1) One Night in Miami. God this is a terrific film. A flawless example of how to adapt a stageplay, in that it doesn’t feel remotely stagey. [Criterion Collection BluRay]

A minute of peace from my paddle on Lake Winnipeg this morning. It was nice to get up before my neighbours and enjoy the lake before it got wavy. I hope you find it as soothing as I do.

Ooow. Off to Armoy Road Races this weekend; flag marshalling, catching up with friends. Plans have changed (was supposed to be on ferry last night), have found myself happy to be mooching around an airport. I like airports (hospitals too); is it the anonymous, utilitarian, homogenised, space?

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.
Will we listen to his words today?
