What's this? New roller derby uniform for a beyond borders Asian and Pacific Islander team just dropped? (Also, I really loved working more on my upper body muscles like my back and shoulders!)

Going hyperfemme just for going out and about the shops is something I've missed. Plus, spotted white and brown pigeon!

Snapped a shot of two pigeons on Saturday because one was crouching. The other just HAD to take that specific position when the shutter clicked, goddamnit

First ever attempt at a cut and shut (chopping up body shells and sticking bits back together differently). Hornby Class 110 to Class 114 conversion WIP. Door lines are garish but this will have to do. Waiting till pay day for bodyside detailing and cabs, till then I'll create the other body shell

Cut and shut Class 114 driving motor brake standard (one side). Missing extra bodyside details and proper cab ends. Door lines scribed in but looks very deep and garish (especially at the body joins)

I was with my women's choir for a performance to some refugees with a local charity. It went really well, there was an adorable little kid dancing to our songs and at the end she went up to our choir director (my one-one singing teacher) and hugged her 🥹 Also, have a selfie

The last four games I've played. Road 96: fantastic Heavy Rain: enjoyable but deeply flawed, written by a massive douche whose misogyny shows in one of the characters Hack n Slash: short, fun, coding puzzle twist on a Zelda-style adventure Daily Chthonicle: fun and amazing tabletop style RPG.

Cover image for the game Road 96. It features a road in a desert with a mountainous landscape, the front of minibus driving on the road, and the title of the game on a yellow diamond sign

Cover image for the game Heavy Rain. It features an origami model with a bloodstain standing on the ground where it's raining, all put through a beige filter with the games title text across the top

Cover picture for the game Hack n Slash. It features the protagonist (a female character based on Link from Zelda) carrying a sword standing on the top of a rocky crystal column with a light beam shining on her. Across the top is the game's title. The picture's colour scheme is pretty much all shades of blue

Thanks to Stylish Strands Nottingham for making my hair look gorgeous! (Also, that's not a sore on my lip, it's the lip stain darkening the raw parts)
