It's way too late in the evening to start concentrating on something.
Watch Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey tomorrow. But no later than 7pm to start.

As it is international moon day, I’d like to share this little book which means, well - the world to me. It’s full of me and my life as seen through the perspective of the moon. I’d love it if you bought a copy or even shared it

As someone actually trained in behavioural psychologyβ€”unlike most MPsβ€”I can tell you: financial precarity doesn’t β€œincentivise” sick people to work. It breaks them. Stress worsens health. Fear doesn’t create productivity. It creates collapse. #TakingThePIP

Just digesting the fact that I sold one (1) mug last month in the gallery I usually do quite well at in the summer. So if anyone needs to find any gifts, my online shop is always open. Prices from Β£10.

They do have a knack for finding cosy spots, and also for buggering off at the times that will be most concerning.

Flowering sea holly just growing right out of the sand. Bonkers.
It is spiky and has blue-tinged pineconey sort of flowers. It's a desert-lizard sort of a plant, but it's hanging out on the east coast of the UK like a badass

Four sheep in a churchyard. One is a whitish sort of a sheep with a black face. The others are a chocolatey brown and look a bit more rangy and goatlike. One has its paler bum towards the camera. The goaty sheep have horns. I'm not really up on sheep types. You may have noticed.

A sprinkle of green, speckled lentils in a white enamel cup. You can't tell, but the cup is a Celestine and the Hare mug.

Tall, leggy plants with bright yellow flowers which are all facing away from me and towards my neighbour's house wall. Still, they are very cheery beings and flower for ages and bees & hoverflies love them

Lovely, exhausting day.
Lots of laughing.
Met @helendrinkstea.bsky.social after being a #rubbishbirdpics fan. It was so lovely to meet you, Helen.
Caught up with @electrarhodes.bsky.social, always a joy.

Popped in here & blocked a new follower whose bio said "self confessed Harry Potter nerd".

For years I read & enjoyed the books, but Rowling using their vast wealth & profile to fund transphobic legal actions & stoke hate, fear & misinformation means I will not separate the art from the artist.

That seems a bit OTT.
Some Superdrugs used to collect blister packs and you just rocked up with a bagful and put them into their bigger bagful.

Not sure about the mountain lion advice.
If they're especially drawn to children I'd prefer to keep children as far away as possible, not close!

I've been simultaneously enjoying the sunny weather and worrying about climate change and the environmental impacts of this weird unseasonality.
