The most difficult thing for me has been finding that I really like people, but they don't like me back. I got used to that, but I'm happier that I know why.

Same for ADHD. I'm finding nearly all the people I have a connection with are neurodiverse.

A very aspirational display in the window of a local charity shop
A rather handsome dummy with brown beard and long hair sitting in bed with a mug of tea, a book, and a computer monotor

A very kind gentleman dropped in to donate a puddingstone (R) to join our own (L). They are slow-wearing conglomerates of rock, assembled to create tools like quernstones for grinding grain and named after the puddings they resemble. #puddingstone #woodbridgetidemillmuseum

Here's an illustration from the Drayton Parslow Parish Register in 1780 - a skull and bones with a floral motif. A morbid doodle or a helpful way to mark a section of burials?
A black skull and crossed bones next to a floral motif, drawn in the Drayton Parslow Parish Register, 1780. Handwritten entries are above and below it showing burials, including several infants.

Concept proposal for the Old Market Store and Fair Meadow Car Park, Redruth. People can be seen walking and sitting down outside the building as children run around and play on the newly landscaped path. One person walks past the building with their bicycle.

I'm supposed to be making cats to sell, but I've made Pip and my daughter's cat that I want to keep. Tell me what cat I should make next. Or show me some lovely cat photos to inspire me. Please.

Tabby cat collage. Not sure I've finished this. I don't like the pale coloured cushion, but I can't find any paper I like better at the moment. Also, annoyingly, I made the red check pattern with sharpie on the gel plate and it ran when I glued the cat on with acrylic medium

There's a thing called Marching Ants, which is a nerve sensation associated with oestrogen. Maybe look that up?

I did when I was peri menopausal. Sometimes it sort of moved. Usually tummy, legs or head.
