When I find a photo with weird lighting in my camera roll I am cursed with the compulsion to make a study of it. Fur is kind of fun to paint tho.

Cursing myself for choosing colours that mean I have to learn how to adjust the white balance on my phone's camera

you'd think this guy would be a bit more grateful about being fished out of mud, rinsed off (for free!) and being given as many meal worms as requested but no. Whinge whinge whinge.

Falling asleep last night to a nice relaxing audiobook about north sea raiding between 950 and 1041 CE, but actually I can't relax because it's trying to tell me this silly guy was REAL??
