There's no better feeling than selecting the "None of these apply" checkbox on the Self Assessment form.

The motion design bottleneck is real... and Typeflow by Algo studio might be the answer 👀 www.creativeboom.com/resources/ty...

I was just going to Google something about Teams and typed in "once you have" and "once you have eliminated the impossible" came up top. I have questions.

The good thing about watching how to type videos for design software is that you will definitely learn something. Just not what you'd intended.

Here we go designers, the first event of the year has been announced. Derby, we're coming for you! More info here: www.designweek.co.uk/events/desig...

Just used the word aplomb in a blog post.

It’s very rude to interrupt me when I’m procrastinating.

Just said "Right, we need to get our skates on to the cat."

The cat just walked over my keyboard, entering the password incorrectly as she went.

Not Jeff or Geoff, but a secret third Jeoff.

And into the final hour of work where I don't think I can summon up the energy. Go on without me.

I just connected with a man on LinkedIn who looks like Father Christmas. In fact, that’s the only reason I linked up with him.

The problem with working from home is that you can only be snowed under with work, rather than being unable to get to work due to the snow.

No YOU are working from home with all the Christmas tree lights switched on behind you.

Just about to search about something work-related and looks like the squirrels have been on Google again.

Me in November 2024: I really think 2025 will be my year. Me in November 2025:

"Hey Laura, LinkedIn here. You can now feature more of your posts on a page." Oh great, I'll just add a few more on this client's page then. "Sorry, something went wrong and your post could not be featured. Please try again." Tries again. "Sorry.."

Flawless design.

As winter descends on the UK it might help to know that there's still floral colour to be found throughout the winter. There are a small group of plants that lift my spirits between now & February-here are a few of them (& my illustrations alongside):

Hi folks, I'm thinking of offering writing workshops online. Bespoke and small, like my work 😉 Each one will be unique and 1.5 hours long. For non-fiction and fiction, and complete beginners welcome. £12 per workshop. Interested? If so, I'll get something proper together and tell you about it soon ❤️

This is what it has come to now. It's so cold, I am heating up my desk by covering it with an electric blanket prior to working at it. Nice toasty workstation now. 100% recommend.

The implementation of the new shiny chat feature on Twitter is going well..

When you write an email quickly and there's a fEw odd capitAls here and tHere and it takes on a wHole new meANing.

Will Trump not ever appear on these lists? Taxes and the BBC and all your shenanigans - come on. Out-trump Trump.

It's 9.36am on Monday and I've already assigned some of today's tasks to tomorrow. Winning.

You know when you start a job and it seems reasonably simple and straightforward, then it becomes this enormous monster. I'm currently at monster stage.

No YOU'RE crying at the latest John Lewis Christmas ad.

I'm so sad to hear about Prunella Scales. What is it about this year? They're all going.

Typos are the best when typing quickly aren't they. Just saw I'd typed nunless instead of unless.

Have Tess and Claudia have been pushed? Time for presenters who know something about dance maybe?

I'd have liked to have been one of the photographers commissioned on this job. "Are you free to take photos of these amazing locations?" Yes, that works for me. #advertising #photography #resortingtohashtags

I have another cartoon in the current Private Eye. Shoppers, assemble!

I know it’s early but my #Christmas card and gift wrap collection is now available in my online shop www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/christmas-ca...

The worst time for a designer is the time immediately after you've seen that a client has downloaded your initial designs.

Me facing the week.

Man in Walthamstow: How are you? His friend: Good. Man: I hit you with my rhythm stick. His friend: I’m sorry? Man: I don’t know where that came from. I’m tired.

Why does my cat wait until I have made myself a hot drink before she uses her litter tray? And other important questions of the day. I mean, then I have to microwave my drink so it's drinkable after I've sorted it. EVERY. TIME.

I've no problem swapping from one type of project to another. I just make several cups of tea and eat non-stop, suddenly think of new ideas for the project I'm meant to be moving on from and go back to it, then buy something quickly from Vinted and play with the cat maybe.. Then I'm on it.

Microsoft, I will never not want to edit a file that I have created thank you.

I think we all have a little bit of Hyacinth Bouquet hidden within us somewhere. RIP Patricia Routledge. A talent that spanned much further than her role in Keeping up Appearances.

There's nothing like working on a PC that's not quite set up yet. I just had my lunch 1 hour early as I haven't adjusted the clock yet.

Just prepared moving over to a new laptop. It's only taken 5 years of pain with the one I'm on and 1 month of actually having a new laptop and complete avoidance to do it. Move-over is at 4pm. I'll be so fast working from now on, that I could finish up by 3 each day I imagine (I wish!)

A few results from my botanical illustration for mental health workshop this afternoon. So lovely to teach face to face again, especially in such a gorgeous venue in a nature reserve…✒️🌿

Being your own boss means I get to choose what I do next on my list. So I am choosing a nice thing over a stressy thing next.

I love the concept and reason behind the ad, but do I think the line "Good in anything. Now in glass" works? Maybe something like "Silly to bottle it in anything other than glass. So glass it is." What would you suggest?

First on the to-do list today is one from the sideline..

Tea instructions, should you need them. Choose the largest cup. Fill right to the brim. Sip impatiently whilst it's too hot. This is now a hot beverage account.
