A woman writing on Eastbourne beach with the pier in the background. Some large-looking gulls are looking disappointed she hasn't got a bag of chips for them to steal. it was great to explore Eastbourne and bring a sketch home.

I remember one time the administration sent all the Democrats the talking points they sent to Republicans.
They tried to use the recall function in Outlook to get it back. We all had a good laugh.

They really went in and tried to delete this photo in particular because they'd missed that it had Trump in it. Incredible.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

My meatball mix was too moist. They cooked halfway through and collapsed into meatdomes. I flipped them over, tried to form them into balls again. I cooked them the rest of the way but all that accomplished was a full collapse into meatflats. Dinner tonight is Spaghetti and Hamburgers.

Another on-the-spot watercolour (with pen work) from a sketching trip to Winchester in 1997. I regret parting with this one though I hope the buyer is still enjoying it. This is typical Winchester with the cathedral in the background. See Alt text for more info.
