Date night with myself again! Rufus Wainwright 🥰

Much nicer seats this time, that's how you can tell they were all similar prices 😂

I'm working on gradual, gentle sorting of my work and craft stuff, #EmoKitty is taking constant advantage, lots of boxes and empty cubes!

Term doesn't technically start until October, but #EmoKitty and I are getting a headstart

Can't help thinking he's not really concentrating mind...

A344, it's mildly terrifying but fascinating. It's mostly about colonialism and Euro-centric perspectives until recently.

These are the books

Solo date at the matinee, oddly enough I couldn't persuade O to come to a 3 hour opera 😂

There's a revolt happening in our house

Related, Davina has diabetes, she now needs twice daily injections, and needs to eat before them so she can no longer freely graze. Hence the protest

2nd photo is immediately after an injection, she's absolutely not bothered by them

This just came up in my timeline...

It's done!

Lots of pockets, and changeable strap so it can be cross body or a small rucksack

I had to buy new lobster clips, but the rest is all reused from the old too-big bag. I had to hand sew some of it, poor machine wasn't happy about the many, many layers

August!

Cats, sewing, singing, baking, time with friends

(No alt for the photos as they're collages of 18 different photos)

About 15 years ago I made my first bag

It was a labour of love, I learnt so much that I've used again and again. It came with me across the US, but I've not used it since

Today I'm gently taking it apart to reuse the pieces for a bag I'll hopefully use more, and thanking it for its service 🥰

We put art up!

This is the first thing you are as you walk into the flat, it pleases me greatly

Featuring @chris_riddell @abstract_akerele @seawitch_crochet @nerdmaid1 and a couple of people not on Instagram, as well as pieces by me and O

We went out! Amusingly the only photos I took were of us in the cat masks, but 2 lovely friends got married and it was all lovely 🥰

We currently have a heat gun in the flat

And A DEMON!!

*Davina yawning

I offer you a photo to look at every now and then to chuckle at

They're brother and sister, 16 yrs old, but she WILL NOT accept that she's not an only-cat, and he just wants to love her

What I wanted: a sapphic heavy community

What I got: easy access to lots of allotment produce 😂

My textbooks have arrived, and been claimed already 🙄

My baby bro is all grown and officially the nerdiest (so far) of the siblings! He graduated in, err, plane making?? (Something about engineering)

So proud!!

(Alt text for all images is the two of us, looking like nerds, but very happy nerds)

#DavinaKitty does not like change. I'm on the sofa, she requires me to be at my desk, now, without fail!

(unsolicited advice, pls ignore if not useful)

As a fellow ADHD-er who regularly cracks my screen, a friend recommended having a glass screen protector. I still crack/chip my screen, but it's the £10 protector, not a £200 replacement screen

Floof-baby photo to make up for unsolicited advice

There're few advantages to my annoying body, but access seating at gigs is definitely one

We're home sick this week, so obviously I've done some organising

This time it's tea and coffee! A tower of tea on the left and a smaller stack for coffee on the right. I might end up getting more wire drawers for the coffee, the red one is too wide really, but I'm pretty pleased so far!*
