Badly drawn stick man with Happy 2026 written beneath him. And he is very badly drawn.

Witness my truly unparalleled art skills.

Happy New Year

We used to try and beat the blue tits to it in the morning. But it was cold and bed was warm. And even if we did get up the milkman had often come earlier. Did start beating them to it when forced to get up for the early morning paper round.

I was thinking of using him as a BBEG when I next run DnD or whatever, and wanted to see more of the artists work. But I can’t find them. This was just a random pin, but I know I’ve seen I before. Thanks.

The cute monster’s bottom with an unhelpful signature and the date 2013

He has a signature but it has been no help

A cute monster who’s artist I cannot find. He may be my next RPG BBEG that my players will never see coming because of how unbelievably cute home is.

Does anyone know whose work this is? I feel like I did know, but have forgotten.

I have, may the gods help me, decided to learn Welsh.

Bore da. Dw i eisiau dysgu Cymraeg, achos dw i’n ffŵl.

That’s about all I remember from my one and only Welsh lesson at uni (there may have been several but nevermind). Hopefully this time it goes better!

It’s definitely the way to somewhere.

I’ve started it a few times. Now I have more time on my hands I might give it another go. Thanks for reminding me about it.

The book looks really interesting, it’s not in the uni library so I’ve put it on my birthday list which my husband chooses from as I like gifts which are surprises & things I like. He’s not got a good history with presents but he’s never topped his first awful Xmas gift to me. But it was a surprise!

I love starter packs. Currently having a great procrastinating time chasing down history, magic, history of magic, archeology, anthropology, medieval, early modern, folklore, and so much more. Each time I decide, last one, leaving now, up pops another and deep down I dive.

I suspect that begging bankers is an important skill for surviving at the top.

Somehow, sometimes this seems to have been so long ago. It can’t have been though, that would mean I’m getting older…oh.
