Spoons with boaty neighbours and friends. Two Spoons in One Day.

Taz the Tawny Frogmouth at Manchester Medieval Fayre. He's Tanzanian. Not from Canada.

7th Bhangra Class, I'm still struggling to remember an entire routine in one class, but it's fun.

My phone's AI decided to make me a random collage this morning. It's cute 😍

My sixth Bhangra class. This one was slower so I actually felt like I could take it in a little better. So much to learn in one hour!

Manchester Geek Fayre, a little overwhelming but fun today.

Tonight was the first meeting of my work place based, BeeProud Staff Network, Dungeons and Dragons gamers. It was really fun. I love that work is becoming more like a Stross novel where we actually have DnD break outs 🤣

The last in the Whispers series, I might work on it some more but I overran the deadline due to being so busy with Leona's visit.

Week 5 of learning Bhangra, this was a very fast intense number

This week's Whispers Challenge. Judi sent me a painting of an open bird cage with a single yellow feather left behind, so I painted this in watercolour.

Finally got some images from the photoshoot we had after our staff trans network, TIN-Bee, won the support of the Executive Leadership Team to submit a trans positive response to the EHRC from the University of Manchester

This week's Whispers Challenge. Roland drew a picture of Kier Starmer arm in arm with Vildemort, so I guessed the feeling was about being let down by Labour leaders given their GC leanings.

Nice sky over the marina

Second week of the Whispers Challenge. Caroline sent me her work on, left, I produced the one with added boat, right. There's a mid stage I'll add in the comments, which I had to paint over as I found it so awful.

Today, I saw the new Jurassic Park 🦖 with Jamie. Then dinner at Blacklock with excellent service (the barman saved Jamie as she went into a hypo!), and also they do bottomless gravy as standard. They know how Northerners like it!

I've started another Whispers session with the Ancoats Visual Arts Group. First challenge is to select a famous artwork (I selected Andy Warhol's Fish) and do an interpretive sketch by Sunday. On Sunday we all get someone else's work and interpret that.

Helping Jeni, Rach and Tony down the Manchester flight on Saturday 🌞🏞

Great day at Macclesfield Pride. I forget to take pictures of everyone. The Ollie Alexander axt was amazing (center photo, Keith) also photos with Sue and Kerry. I saw Abby, Maxine, Val and Tara too but forgot about pics by then 😆

Lovely weekend at Sparkle, meeting up with Jamie, Georgina, as well as new people like Jane and Tara.

Sparkle day 1. Saw Abby briefly but the park opened late so she missed seeing anything. Ordered a custom t shirt, and music got better later in the evening to dance worthy stuff rather than the wrist slashers of the early evening.

Baby seagull is out for a wander

More squished pennies (5 cents this time) for my collection. I'm particularly impressed with the detail on the map of Tenerife.

Last smoothie by the beach and saying goodbye to Armpit Sun Towers 🌞

Last night back at Boca Chica where they have good music 🎶

More lizards 🦎 in Puerto de la Cruz today

Yesterday walked out to Dragon's Egg Rock and went back to Mr Singh's in the evening

More lizards! San Juan Tenerife

Lime kiln, strange shaped trees, rocks with growths that look like false gold, and the rockiest beach ever, in San Juan Tenerife

San Juan is lizard city

Friday night in Tenerife, at Calma Balkan Cuisine, which was up a very steep hill north of Costa Adeje with a live guitarist 🎸 We had a mere of Greek and Bulgarian dishes

@leonadevon.bsky.social is dead happy we found this A-lister DJ Tenrives randomly at Boca Chica, people will be paying 300-Euros to see him on Saturday night at NRG Tenerife 🦧🦎🥳

Second night in Tenerife, entertained by this lady with balancing skills and a man who is an emotional rollercoaster about whether people will stop for tapas here

First night in Costa Adeje, we're back again for the second year!
