I also got a few new pictures for what I call my 'Bondage Jesus' album - at some point statues of Jesus sitting down with his arms tied up became a thing in chur hes. They're never very good, but they always make me laugh.

Jesus sat down with his arms tied but he is carrying a sheaf of wheat and has a hole in his (for some reason) gold foot. He looks worried, like he's not sure if he left the immersion on.

Jesus sat down with his arms tied (part of one arm is missing). This Jesus is slightly more hench than the other. He has a faintly bored expression on his face.

Some photos:

A picture of the Holocaust memorial in Berlin - there are large grey blocks of concrete in a row. In the distance a teenage boy is walking through. One of the most meaningful and emotional memorials I have visited.

A photo of a building in Brussels with a large image of The Son of Man by Magritte on the side of it.

A photo of part of an exhibit in the Tate Modern. And orange light highlights wires and what looks like a mine

Judith holding the head of Holofernes but the Angelus has just come on..

Painting by Jan van Bijlert. Judith is holding the decapitated head of Holofernes in one hand and a sword in the other. Her gaze is towards the middle distance as if the bongs of the Angelus have just started.

I'm not a beer drinker but I am impressed by the size of this beer museum in Brussels. It has both stories AND tastings..

Photo of a beer museum in Brussels. It's a large standalone building with impressive architecture.

My other half knows I love a terrible pun. He also knows I love Heated Rivalry. This morning he gifted me a terrible visual pun of one of our inside jokes. #LookAtTheLightingOnThoseBuns

It's almost impossible to get good photos at gigs, but I did try to get a few from Dogstar last night.

I started painting yesterday with A PLAN which immediately went off the rails as soon as I put paint to page.. it's not going to be what I originally wanted to do but that's ok - I think that plan is better suited to pen and ink rather than watercolour. Not sure what this one will turn into tho.

A watercolour of a man (?) cropped so you can't see the haims I made of his hands.

Why even are hands?

It is time for me to (temporarily) lay down my Heated Rivalry obsession because this weekend my (significantly) older obsession is gonna be back on screen.
