Bryan's sketching always captures a sense of place and reminds me of my time living in Toronto. 'Showing the world one sketch at a time!' πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

Trust the magic!

Busy autumnal gardening day today. And after I've finished planting, this is for the base of the gum tree in the native verge garden...

This was a superb read to start the day.
Lovely day for a bit of a relaxing walk. These things take time and patience, grit and determination

Mandurah Sporting Bar and Grill. About ten screens of sports all playing at the same time.
I went to listen to son playing guitar at the opening of shopping centre -2020 before we had some lunch.
It's a pretend oasis of sorts I suppose,for those wishing to escape the elements.

'Like watching a soap opera': The splendid social life of Australia's bluest bird They may seem like just a beautiful blue bird, but under the surface the social dynamics of the splendid fairy-wren is anything but simple.

www.abc.net.au/news/science...

My mum is fortunate to have a pair of blue wrens plus 'friends' to watch in their territory [her native garden].
Always fascinating to have an insight into diversity and genetic survival across species. I am glad I studied animal behaviour in my first degree.

How Creativity Helps the Brain Make Meaning after Disruption When life ruptures your sense of self, creativity is how the brain rewrites the story. Here's the neuroscience behind why it works.

Brave, visionary and queer: the Bohemian brilliance of author George Sand With her radical politics and flamboyant affairs, Sand was no stranger to controversy, but it’s time to debunk the myths surrounding a writer ahead of her time

Brave, visionary and queer: the author George Sand www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

Welcoming wildflowers of this world.
Climbers with tenancious tendrils, oblivious to the oppressive heat.
Creeping capriciously up slippery black pole-
leaving trail of crescent moon footholds.

My dad - who was from Fallowfield - would certainly agree with you. From working in a butcher's shop as a teen, he got himself qualified as a quantity surveyor at night school and decided to build a positive future for his family. Build Better.

Andy busking at the Buttercross Winchester.

Andy busking at the Buttercross Winchester.

I wonder what memories this little painting will stir up. 1988, Andy Walter busking on an old piano he a Julian Bond pushed on a trolley to the Buttercross in Winchester. It was a cold day, but they certainly got plenty of attention and Cash!
