Photo of the cover of The Dreamless by Jen Williams
The background is a mottled purple with the title and author name. In the centre is a picture of two people, one woman with blond-white hair and a dark haired man who is cradling the woman’s cheek. Below them is a cheeky looking fox with flowers that make the whole image into a rough heart shape

I’m visiting the folks in Essex and we had a very short sleet shower that then pelted soft hail at us It snowed in Wednesday night before I left Aberdeen, enough to leave a light covering

Photo showing a path with a road with a couple of cars in the background. There is hail laying in the path and road

My parents have discovered a potato / crab / facehugger hybrid at the bottom of the vegetable draw I think it might try and kill us in our sleep

A wrinkled potato that has roots growing out of of it in a way that make it look like a sinister crab or other scuttling creature
It is vaguely unsettling

The person I was supporting at work today (I work with adults with learning and physical disabilities) would like to show off their art if that’s ok! They got some up on their walls and are very proud of themselves G has given permission for me to ‘show everyone!’

An abstract style painting on a canvas. The colours are yellows, oranges and browns and it almost looks like there could be a figure dancing in the middle

An abstract style painting with messy bands of green / turquoise then red, orange and brown with a small slice of bright blue at the top
You can see splodgy brush strokes and shapes within the colours
The painting feels full of movement and life

A painting of all blue swirls and waves, you can see the big strokes and they make all sorts of interesting patterns and shapes within the colour

Can barely afford it but my haircut is my treat And they are giving away Love Hearts! Not sure they go with the wine, but I’ve run out of popcorn

A wonderfully asymmetrical, lumpy glass about a quarter full of red wine sits on a dark brown wooden tray next to a silver coloured bowl with an empty Love Hearts sweets wrapper in. The tray is on a marble table top with another bowl with more Love Hearts packs in the background. There is also a blue, marbled leaflet in the background behind the glass

The State, Grays An Art Deco building and it even had the organ that would come up through the stage! The scene in Roger Rabbit where they’re watching news reels was filmed there and seeing the film where part of it was filmed was.. odd Sadly was abandoned for many years

There are four vertical lines of decorative brickwork and five tall, thin rectangular windows visible.

Makes the wee snow-being one of the people I support at work made look a bit boring (Although it is sticking it’s tongue out at the weather)

Photo of a wee snow-being - three balls of snow piled up with little sticks for arms, an orange berry for a nose and brown smudges for eyes. There is a left for a mouth so it looks as though it is sticking it’s tongue out

So, the snow has decided to stick

Long and fairly frantic shift at work (always fun when you hit 10k steps without leaving the building) eased by a haircut with added mulled wine and pretzels

A tumbler of mulled wine on a small wooden tray with a silver sort of goblet with pretzels in
The tray is sitting on a wooden table top with a silver metal lamp at the back

Having a very lazy day to recover from Panto week. I really need someone to make me eat / drink / sleep more next time But it was so much fun and amazing to see how well the people we support did This is our amazing cast - adults with learning and physical disabilities, staff, friends and family

A photo showing the cast of a pantomime on stage. There about 60 people on stage all in costumes. There are several wheelchair and mobility aid users.
There are a lot of bright colour.
Everyone is smiling and some are waving at the camera
The background is a fairytale type castle

Had an absolute blast - he’d never seen live wrestling before and even has a favourite wrestler now

Action shot of two wrestlers fighting outside the ring. They are standing face to face with arms raised and both look very disheveled.
The referee is standing to the right side
The wrestler with his back to the camera is wearing a dark purple bodysuit with lines on the back, he has messy ginger hair and is wearing knee pads and black boots.
The other wrestler is mostly obscured but is wearing back with knee pads and black, white and red boots
There is a person in green in part of the foreground. And some of the crowd are visible behind the wrestlers

This was Aberdeen at 3.30 this morning from the back at work

A photo of the early morning, pre-dawn sky. The sky is a soft blue at the top, graduating to an almost white-blue between the two buildings in the foreground
There is a bright star (maybe a planet) just above the peak of the right side roof.

It is 3.26am and the sky is already getting light It’s definitely woken up all the local seagulls and the local thrushes are giving it all they’ve got #NightShift

A photo showing the sky above a roof
The roof is in complete shadow and there is the silhouette of a seagull perched on it

Was great to see so many people there!

A photo showing the Trans Support Protest in Aberdeen. The huge facade of Marischall College is in the background - white stone and lots of windows with pointy decoration on top - the sky is blue covered with white dappled clouds and there is a large crowd with colourful banners and signs in front of a statue of a figure on a horse.

Photo showing a group of people waving Pride flags, trans flags and holding banners. The background is a modern building that is grey with huge windows.

I have a terrible photo of a pair of mallards at the edge of a river from a couple of weeks back. Best I can offer in exchange

There is a grey, rippled river in the background and green and brown scrubby grass in the front. A tree covers the top left corner. Just about visible between the grass and the river are two ducks.

This is my pet Crochet around a posable metal frame and very well behaved. Mostly

Photo of me, made-up to look grimy and bruised. I’m wearing a beige jacket with a blue patch on the sleeve, I am looking back over my shoulder where my crocheted facehugger sits. It looks as though it’s crawling up my back.
