Blake Moore has asked a really strange question! That would never have occured to me that you need to believe in God in order to decide what is good or bad.

I read this as: ".....'little Nigel Farage' likes being asked about his ties to Russia".

From now on, I will refer to him as Little Nigel Farage.

A minimalist landscape painting in watercolour on thick cotton paper. I was imagining the tree emerging through the mist on a winter's morning.

A winter landscape painting in watercolour on thick cotton paper. The tree looks as if it is emerging out of the mist on a winter's morning. The landscape is sem-abstract in style, painted in muted colours. Shown in a light oak frame.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

The speech was excellent and demonstrates that Donnie Dimwit ticks all the wrong boxes for the Nobel Peace Prize.

We were deeply saddened to hear of the recent death of renowned primatologist Jane Goodall, but grateful when we heard that, before she died, she had recorded her last words to share with humanity, in collaboration with Netflix. Her final message is one that deeply resonates with humanist beliefs

Sketching random things..

I'm trying to get into the habit of sketching every day. It's very different from my normal style of more abstract painting, but it feels like a good discipline to maintain, plus it's quite good fun.
