Spent two days wrangling with PaperCut because it turns out half the staff were getting unrestricted printing and nobody was being charged for it. Fun!

I'm onto something here. It's like foam bananas.

Right, think I can call these done. Obviously gonna have to stitch them all myself to make sure they actually work, so watch this space. And if anyone has a specific locomotive they'd like me to attempt, let me know. Work is VERY quiet at the moment... #cross-stitch

On a bit of a roll here... Again not 100% happy with the proportions or some of the details, but it's getting there.

Think I've got it. Still not 100% on the wheels but it's probably the closest I can get at this scale of grid.

Less happy with the proportions this time, but it's a solid start...

Our wildlife deserves better.

Okay I'm actually pretty chuffed(!) with that. I can feel a whole series of these coming on...

Love that. I have done a version but in scale

Use only one art piece to convince people to follow you!

And there he is, finished and framed. #cross-stitch

Oh ja, de Wolverhampton Pound Bakery cuckstoel is vrij.

Accidentally became an unskippable cutscene this morning when someone presented an opportunity for me to pore over historic maps in search of a particular junction of canal and rail infrastructure. I really must try and chase down an autism assessment.

Stitching done! Now to wash and mount. Absolutely chuffed to bits with how this one has turned out, and it was so much fun to do. Included a pic of the back as well, because people often ask.

I can understand the buses being disrupted by ice, snow, even heavy rain, but a bit of cold? Come on.

When I arrive at the party

Gervais is a cunt.

...and on closer inspection, there's 12-year-old me absolutely fucking stoked to look at a train. Plus ça change, eh?

Back in my home town earlier today, and I noticed they've put up a display up celebrating the 25th anniversary of the railway station opening, including a newspaper clipping from the local paper on that auspicious day. I thought the photo in the clipping seemed familiar...

Had a chunk of flaked almond stuck in my teeth all day, like I've somehow fucked up a cyanide capsule.

Just made this. I’m a widely respected intellectual, you know

Right, let's try again. I'm on a train. Not moving, admittedly, but it's a start.

Travelling up to see my folks for the weekend but I've got no further than Manchester because the trains are buggered. Nice comfy hotel bed instead then!

Progress! Just a few more leaves and twiddly bits, and the rest of the blue to fill in.

Sometimes I forget just how monumentally stupid a lot of people are, and then I try to make a silly little pun on Reddit.

Actually never mind. Too many bots. Apologies to all the genuine artists, but I'll ask elsewhere.

I realise this is very niche, but... Are there any pixel artists out there'd who'd be willing to accept a commission to do Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin in a sort of 16-bit style, that I could then turn into a cross-stitch pattern? #cross-stitch #pixelart #masterandcommander

Here you go folks, the colouring book is finally available to buy! It's UK only at the moment, but worldwide shipping will be available soon. square.link/u/3V7pinSn

Accompanying two hundred boarding school kids to a firework display at a private tennis club, and I've never felt more of a class traitor.

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys. Thankyou 💔

Not a bad view for the week. Red kites everywhere, too.

Why would you do this?

Someone run down to the bowls club, quick.

The people who've just submitted bulk print requests at the last possible moment before leaving the building for half term are gonna have a shock when they come back in a week on Monday and find their documents sent back for amendment because they're not fit to print.

They've clearly taken the feedback on board, and this year we're back to being given nothing at all. Success?

First time making traditional* Spanish fideua and I think it turned out alright! *deeply inauthentic

Ordered some nice puffin-themed greetings cards on Etsy but now they've arrived I'm pretty sure they're AI slop. I'm so annoyed, mainly at how suspicious you now have to be about everything.

10yo nephew: What's a grifter? Assembled adults: A swindler, a conman. 10yo nephew: Oh, like King John. Good to see his parents are bringing him up right.

Almost run down by a cunt in a white Audi while crossing the street outside the surgery, so I hope they don't need an accurate blood pressure or heart rate reading.

So I settled on a new PC, ordered it, and it's arrived today. As if I needed any further proof that I've fallen behind the times - there's nowhere to physically mount a 3.5" hard drive, and the power supply as at the BOTTOM of the case. Mental.

Folks - I'm in the market for a new desktop PC as mine's getting rather long in the tooth. Previously I've always built them myself, but I've been out of the game so long I've no idea what's any good anymore. Been looking at prebuilt machines from CCL and OCUK - can anyone suggest anywhere else?
