When I glanced at this today my brain immediately asked why is former British prime minister John Major writing books about psychotherapy?
I used to really enjoy the podcast 99% Invisible when it focused on hidden aspects of design and the built environment. I feel it’s rather lost its way over time. Unsubscribed.
With my new sticker from the Trainee Animator I can’t wait to start my next logbook!
I just realised that the roll of black and white film in my Pentax LX has not been loaded properly and wasn’t being wound on at any of the three locations I’ve used the camera! 🤦
I am enjoying watching The Good Lady Psychotherapist engrossed in a book she has enjoyed and about to finish it. I love that moment when you have to balance finishing a book with wanting it to go on forever.

Just out the blender, a second batch of wild garlic pesto.
I love this thing. It’s such fun to use in my notebooks.

The ‘leisure’ bag doesn’t have as many badges (pins) as the Trainee Animator’s but I do like the selection that’s built-up.
