I feel so fortunate to have come across some Grease memorabilia today to buy, for a few dollars. A couple of original movie souvenir programmes, a magazine page with Olivia's autograph, and a couple of posters. Of interest is a small programme from Iceland. The translation is grand. #cinema

Experimenting with different paper with cyanotype printing. I know watercolour paper is the go, but looking at cheaper options for making bill posters, handbills, etc. Probably not the thing if you need 1000's but great for making some info flyers for utility poles in your area. #print #resist

My first massive band crush. My okder brother is to blame, and then @4zzzradio.bsky.social , and then I got to interview them live in the studio in 1990. Still one of my all times.

Been drawing landscapes lately, and cats. This drawing is of the Warrumbungles, as seen from the viewing area next to the Anglo-Australian Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, near Coonabarabran, NSW. My favourite part of this land. #astronomy #artsky

Rosella Jam manufacture. The blue thing is the cut down plunger from an old bicycle pump to remove the calyx from the fruit. My Dad (86) told me that him and his brother used to help Grandma prepare Rosella fruit using the bike pump technique. 1kg off 4 bushes. Worth the work, though

Everyone has gone to bed, so me and Uncle Tom Cobely get to listen to what we want on the record player. Right now ON-J, Have You Ever Been Mellow album.

I bought this little 1970 HMV Mercury portable record player today for $25 at. Now I'm on my last can of Bundy. Everyone else has gone to bed, and I'm spinning some discs. It has an inbuilt speaker and some nice electronics, plus a good sound. Not perfect but it's what I need right now. #vinyl
