One of the most popular and crowd-pleasing arias in classical opera, "Perché non c'è cibo nella mia ciotola, donna?" tells an emotional tale of a desperately malnourished waif and translates into English as "Why Is There No Food In My Bowl, Woman?"

Happy #MeetTheWebcomic day - this is Phantomarine!

A ghostly princess must sail across a haunted sea to save her soul from a devious death god known as the Red Tide King.

Great to read if you like mysteries, Disney villains, dinosaurs, eyeliner, and bisexual lighting.

This is where I live - the Marshwood Vale here in Dorset, England. No snow today but a frost that's permeated my toes.

'In the Bleak Midwinter'. A poem by the English poet Christina Rossetti. Published as 'A Christmas Carol' in 1872.
Beautiful words.

Jut listened to the sample of The Violinist's Secret audiobook read by the wonderful Sofia Engstrand.
It's always incredible and surreal to hear your writing read by someone else. Sofia has done an amazing job with this one. I couldn't be happier!
It's out today!

We're due a thaw next week, so I went for a walk today to enjoy the snow while it lasts. It was perfect - blue skies, crunchy snow and crisp air 😍

I was asked by the kind folks at Warhammer if I wanted to have my Daughters of Khaine force in WD.

I feel an insane amount of pride and joy seeing them in here, and I hope you all like them too 💕

(Thank you Mike for these photos)

A very charming visitor this evening! Alert and active, and having a good forage, so I put out a bit of food which was met with great gusto 😆 I often see signs of them in the garden, but rarely actually see them so this was a delight

The cats turned three today! So a good time to renew my #proofofcat 😊 They've celebrated with new toys to murder, and there will be tuna for tea 🎂🥳

Turns out Maci is a big fan of QI! He's been intently watching for a few minutes now

Today's gorgeous weather had me heading to Snugburys (along with a lot of other people 😆) for ice cream and a chat with the resident pigs

Don't be deceived by the glorious blue skies, the wind would charitably be called 'brisk' on our walk today 😆 And lots of rain this morning meant we got a jigsaw done

My back may never forgive me, but last night/today I've taken down the old bookcases and assembled the fancy new ones

I recently made a comic complaining that NASA refuses to listen to my good ideas for improving the Solar System (xkcd.com/2750).

To my delight, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has sent me an actual expert panel evaluation of my “flatten the planets” proposal! Sadly, they decided not to fund it.

I just got back from a work trip to Germany, and the cats are demanding payment in full for all scritches missed while I was away 😆
