Ink on a postcard, January 2026. Inspired by a talk I went to where a scientist was explaining how you can prove that animals use binocular vision for depth perception. You give them teeny tiny 3D glasses and show them images of food that you can only see if you're using both eyes together. And yes, cuttlefish do it.

I took the day off work to finish getting the blackthorns in before it rains again making it a thoroughly unpleasant experience. The wee birds, faeries and other beasties are going to love it.
