Back from Greece and, as well as visiting lots of archaeological sites and going canoeing, I found the time to read The Wasp Trap by @markedwardsauthor.bsky.social I absolutely loved it. Six friends who worked on a dating website in the 90s reunite with deadly consequences. A gripping page-turner.

My mum's not on BlueSky so I can share what I made tonight, for Mother's Day.
Wire aperture and felt. Made it based on a sheep photo found on Google - no kit, no instructions.
Quite proud of myself 😁
