After 13 years of living where I do now, the rolling Leicestershire countryside, i'm ever so thankful, i've become somewhat of a foodie in the past few years, and the foodie scene here is amazing, unlike anywhere i've lived before ! Very few things you cannot source locally i've discovered.

The truth 🐊

What an odd week its been - life is starting to slow down a bit already now that i've put the day job to the back of my mind, no longer balancing that and the full restoration job book is quite a weight off of my mind ! However, what it has done is thrown my sleeping pattern for a loop ...

It is amazing how much clarity being in control of ones own life gives you, self employment for the coming year will let me do ever so much - time is my most lacking resource at the moment. I am so lucky to have the support of the Drgn here at home, otherwise none of this would be possible.

november form's open, go get 'em! forms.gle/kVv4KQy83LkN...

I actually seemingly work with complete fruitloops, aside from the usual right wing crap they come out with, this mornings conversation is seemingly on the topic of chem trails ... leaving can't come soon enough.

So time to call it quits at the company I work for - more and more it has become incompatible with my home life, and my flourishing restoration business, which now has 12 months of confirmed work to back me up, so - working for myself again full time for the coming year, shall finally catch up !

Very pleased indeed with the new car - somewhat more thirsty than my old Honda that recently died, however worth it for being very fun indeed !

Hang on to joy and silliness. Be a goofy little creature

A busy time a couple of days ago - moving one of our very heavy babies up to the second floor of its new home ! We begin installation soon.

Foxtober is upon you! Appreciate your local fox this entire month!

Dutch late night TV has its take

Yes! I do ref sheets too 😁✨️ Widor was fantastic to work with too ❤️

Wonderful new ref sheet from @featheryflukes.bsky.social !

Fabulous concert and foods yesterday!

breakin da rules

Busy day the other day getting ready for building works at another venue we have an organ going into - regulators coming back to base for releathering !

Our future time keeper at the museum - Gents of Leicester Master clock, will use this to run multiple clocks throughout the complex !

Thats better, other side tomorrow, and then think about papering and regluing all the ivories which have come off as the instrument has been so damp in someones barn !

Patching and new gussets time! Yet another "favour" instrument for a friend that's in far worse a state than I'd bargained for ...

New addition to the museum collection - probably the only one of this model in the UK, fabulous carvings of a sort of art deco Quetzalcoatl!

An old friend of ours that was surplus to the museum collection, restored for a colleague of mine by us - has now found a new home, someone very keen on exploring what it can do which is great news !

Last night of my four on tonight, more of our little wriggly friends waiting for us, oh my goodness o.x

The evolution of our vision of werewolves.

Oh my goodness, disco rice seem to be the order of the day today O.x

I shared this over on tiktok and I feel that I should share it here too. I don't know what the malfunction is of this bitch resistant frog blinking toilet kisser, but I recommend awareness of the jokes being made out of sight

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but... the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

This is Doug, I finished him last weekend. I cannot understate how FUN this was, he is not fancy whatsoever and he looks almost exactly how I'd pictured him. He will be for sale at some point but I'm making another one this weekend #fursuit #fursuits #fursuiting

$97,015 RAISED FOR THE CENTER ORLANDO NEARLY $100K FOR LGBTQ+ ADVOCACY AND SUPPORT IN A TIME WHERE IT'S NEEDED MORE THAN EVER

Another bit of news, after speaking to a few friends over the past few days in and around VRC, we've decided to found the VRChat Organ Society. Not much to do at the moment other than connecting other people into the instrument, we plan a future recital series within VR ! vrchat.com/home/group/g...

Short morning in the workshop to get back in time for a sleep before the closing of Furality 2025 - got this set of bellows stripped down, and wished I hadn't ! Goodness me, cardboard ribs not wood, not even hinged - folded ! Cracks everywhere, may as well have been made from matchsticks, urgh !

A slightly disjointed end to Furality - through no fault of their own. With only the closing ceremonies for me to somehow wrangle my schedule enough to attend. A picture of some of the most important people in my life, each of whom I am incredibly privileged to call a friend.

I added more Pride Birds! #birds #pridemonth

Day two was great ! As usual loved the game shows, more tomorrow.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

Great first day of Furality ! However seemingly even in the virtual world I cannot escape bloody Harmoniums O.o
