Yesterday was my monthly Watercolour Nature Journal Class & we did daffodils! Having previously been terrified of any kind of paint, I'm beginning to enjoy watercolours. Also love exercises like sketching without looking at the paper, not taking the pencil off, or drawing with non-dominant hand...

We've had beautiful wildlife banknotes in Scotland for a while. Little works of art

Robert Jenrick appears to think that Rachel Reeves decides what goes on our bank notes, not the Governor of the Bank of England. If he doesn't know what roles the Chancellor of the Exchequer carries out, is he fit enough to be an MP?

At least publishers like @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social and @littletollerbooks.bsky.social find new authors

How will they choose what goes on what value note?

Yes. Lots small shops prefer it cos it goes in their pockets not fees to banks etc.

What’s it like to run away with the circus?

Cardiff, Wales, 1983. A bunch of university dropouts and unemployed hippies find themselves united by two things: a talent for juggling and a desire to live a different kind of life. They decide it might be fun to juggle their way out of the rat race by founding a circus, which they call ‘NoFit State’.

How does this group grow from its lowly origins as buskers on the city streets to become one of the most admired and respected contemporary circuses in the world?

Stephen Glascoe, a member of NoFit State’s amateur community group ‘Splott State Circus’, takes us behind the scenes of the drama, stress and joy of a radical modern circus.

Based on in-depth interviews with the founders of the circus and many others who have been part of its history, Circus Rebels charts the challenges and triumphs of underdogs turned Welsh creative powerhouse.
