Good evening all from your new member. It may take some time for me, an ex- Twitterer, to adapt to the Mastodon format, but I'm confident that we'll get there eventually. First of all, in case you get the impression that the spelling of my username is wrong, let me explain: I'm 80, hence "Octogenarian", and since my name is Iain, I've incorporated the extra "i". Simples! I joined the local art group when I retired in 2008 and paint in the Scottish Borders where I live, e.g. my profile picture.
