Hey planet! I'm on my way home from a very cool course on approaching galleries, by the curators of Impressions gallery in Bradford, UK.

Been on the go since 4am and this leg back home won't finish until about 11. :( 2.5 hours to go, maybe.

It's been a string of cancellations and panicked rejigging of travel plans which make me realise the UK transport infrastructure is crumbling, but the course made it worth it. :)

There's another one in August. I might get a hotel and just drive down.

Afternoon all. Recovering from a really bad #mecfs #fibro flare/attack* this week. I was forced to use my walking stick for the first time in over a year. Not good.

Recovering slowly. Thankfully able to put the stick back in storage today. Still a bit shaky though.

*sometimes I wonder about the use of the words flare and attack. I think attack is warranted this time, as it was sudden, almost violent in the severity, but then other times I think flare is probably a better word.

Like non-evil Vampires and Werewolves but not a romance fan? I have your back!

A vampire hunter's life becomes complicated when he begins to realise his prey aren't always the monsters he's been taught.

It also has werewolves and they aren't monsters either.

Haventon Born (The Haventon Chronicles #1)

Vampires. Mere stories and myths until David’s dearest sister becomes one. He’s hunted them relentlessly ever since. Given that Haventon attracts supernatural creatures like a magnet does iron, Dav…

Crikey. I can’t handle the heat and it’s only flaming April. It nearly hit 27 degrees C here earlier. Thankfully cooling off slightly as the sea breeze picks up.

I’m not built for sunshine. =(

Slightly burnt, slightly wonky #GlutenFree scone. But I made it, and it's so tasty. Struggling to leave some for Rachel when she gets home :)

For my birthday just over a year ago, my wife and daughter got me two cherry trees to plant in the #garden of our new house. It meant a lot to me because we'd always rented and struggled and been unable to do much with our gardens as a result, until we finally got this place (at the age of flippin' 46) about 18 months ago.

I was a bit sad by autumn because they did not look well and I thought they might not survive the winter.

For my birthday at the end of March this year, they did this :)

If you're in the slightest interested in #ColourTheory then set aside around 15 mins and enjoy this.

Just sitting outside in my sun trap of a garden. It's pretty chilly in the wind beyond my fence but I'm sitting in 20 degrees C.

I finally feel like I'm thawing out.

Also, so happy to be being buzzed by big fluffy bumble bees. And that's coming from someone who is extremely buzzyphobic.

I've waited 13+ years for this. The timing was impeccable if I do say so myself.

Me: You know they took the word "gullible" out of the dictionary last week.

My Kid: What? Why?!... Ohhhhh...
