Feeling all the feels of anticipation for a great show. In London for My Neighbor Totoro.

Another fun Calvin and Hobbes build with Alden. Some lovely details included here, like Hobbes’s apple and the wildlife.

Took my son to see Flow this morning. Highly recommended. Beautifully strange and obviously a labour of love for the animator. Full of feeling without being sentimental.

Taking our seats at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham for some Horrible Histories! End of term fun for all the family. Executions, armada, general Tudor mayhem.

My son, all dressed up as Skulduggery Pleasant for World Book Day. Mum sourced the trench coat, shirt, gloves, and hat, and made the fireballs. Nice to see the mask fits well!

Made a geometric skull mask for my son to wear as Skulduggery Pleasant for World Book Day tomorrow. Pretty cool!

Is it me, or has the spam count in my email gone up since yesterday? Effortless cleaning, ChatGPT courses for productivity, website audits, Japanese insoles, capsules to ‘melt fat!’, pillows, ‘documents’ contained in .rar files. Oh, and an invitation to become a ‘partner vendor’ with Tesla.

Finally got around to building a Xmas gift: Howl’s Moving Castle. Very fiddly, and a bit over-engineered in places. But result is pretty good.

Merry winter, everyone! (View from my office window.)
