I run a tight shipwreck.
6 hours playing board games with the husband at a gaming coffee shop. Heaven. And bought this. It’s so good.
Thank you! Yet to play with snotlings but had fun smashing things with Tomb Kings. Painting them up as smurfs!
I finished painting this little dude last night. Biggest and most involved project to date in terms of technique but am dead proud of him. Now need to take some better pictures.
I also really love these Pantone mugs the office has. I want some (I have too many mugs)
Matthew Longo’s The Picnic. This is an incredible book. An examination of the tidal effects of history and revolution, and how both get warped with time and perspective. It made me cry, it made me cheer. And it made me reflect. #beckys2026reads 📚💙
Completely obsessed with Jennifer English’s BAFTA dress (and also delighted she won).
The cherry blossom trail we walked was drastically oversold in terms of the amount of actual blossom, but this one was great.
Get you a man who takes you to a Scottish Toby Carvery for a valentines brekkie.
I really enjoyed this though it made my heart hurt on many levels. We're really not far away from being back to women and girls forced into hiding their "shame" from a judgemental society. But there's a hopeful defiance here. A balance to all things. #Beckys2026reads
Patricia A. McKillip’s The Forgotten Beasts of Eld is a glorious little fable. Lyrical prose, elegant dialogue, explorations of love, family, and overcoming generational trauma. Lovely stuff. #Beckys2026reads
All right then. Started with a beloved book. Becky Chambers' The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet is probably the closest to a soft Le Guin successor you can get IMO, brimming with a love of all life #Beckys2026Reads
