Yes. The answer is yes. You can and should pair cheese cake with neck oil.

Sitting with HRH in my boat studio just about to start sketching some ideas for illustrating a tarot deck. Feeling a little like I’ve won at life.

Ship’s Cat. They are a rank of their own and follow neither skipper nor crew. But I could have told you that.

Visited my old friends at the museum, held a 5000 year old axe, met an actual orrery—going to miss London.

An increasingly tight budget means I can only get essential things. Like books on ancient magic and resistance.

If you ask me about a happy place I’ll think of a laundromat in Lower Sydenham.

After an initial set back yesterday, got her into the water today. I am exhausted and thrilled. I feel like I just won a game of cards.

Today my boat goes back into the water! This is the big test to see if my work this summer was any good. If she floats, I head to my mooring, if she sinks, I’ll cry and start over!

Today’s plan: bus to Bristol, pick up outboard engine from a GumTree seller, lug said engine back to the bus in Bristol, convince them I’m cute enough to put it under the bus for no extra fee, back to London, wheel it through Victoria, on a train to Kent and plead for a car to drive my home. Done.

How did Nick Hornby make 10 episodes of listening to a couple argue both hilarious and poignant? I’m relieved I’m divorced and a little sad I’m missing out.

Quite Stupid After Eight

My phone buzzes with a notification. It lets me know that my nightshift is starting in 10 minutes. Only, I am an ocean away, sipping coffee with my cat at 5am in the Kent marshland. My regular nigh…

New ink for equinox.#DaggersDown is the mantra. Entering this new season with the idea that maybe I don’t always have to fight my way through it. Maybe I can slow down. Maybe I can put down the dagger. Maybe. There’s a lifetime of vigilance to ease up on.

Despite the overwhelming evidence of Trump's criminality, his fascist policies, his support of Israel's genocide, his links with sex trafficking and his views that domestic violence isn't a crime, what were the standout looks of the state visit, BBC News?

"Ecosystems are stronger when they are complex. Diversity, whether of thought, species, or activity, creates spaces where new ones are able to emerge and multiple forms thrive. So, I will keep spreading myself thin. I will keep being the scattered, fickle and promiscuous person I know myself to be."

How to be a Polymath in a World Built for Monoliths

Sadly I identify as a polymath. No, it is not just a fancy word for adhd, though I have that label too. To be a polymath is to be a person who is deeply, passionately, genuinely interested in a mul…
