I was thinking velcroing the stems onto the metal fence, or displaying them stuck through a pole with holes drilled in it? I'm looking for other inspired or simple ideas. Here is a photo of one of the flags stuck into the ground. Thank you for your brain cells when mine have given up for the week
You can see the metal cabin and the metal fence we have as places to attach them to. Attachments need to be temporary and we can't permanently attach anything to the cabin as it's not ours (no screws etc). Any ideas on how we could display the flags nicely?
If you’re in #Newcastle and would like to be part of similar events with me and this group of optimistic time travellers, let me know.
Managed to make some good progress on my hooky rug, while finishing my library audiobook, just before my loan expired at midnight. 😅
So excited to get the keys to our summer design cabin today.
Mourning my stolen Cannondale tonight. I hope whoever is riding it loves it as much as I did.
@lissaharris.bsky.social looking over an old thread and see we are desk buddies

Standing stones at sunrise. Might colour it in on procreate. #UrbanSketching #PleinAir
Two occasions today presented me with abandoned lemon yellow paint tubes. What message is the universe sending me?
In this heat, give yourself permission to rest, stay in the shade, observe. Rest can be radical, your vitality is important. The work will never be finished and sometimes it’s good to be a human being instead of a human doing.
This fell out of a tree and almost hit me on Friday. Why would this be in a tree??
Enjoyed our #BigLunch street party today. The sun even came out for a couple of hours.

Found some fluffy procrastination in the office after the conference this afternoon. I was happy to spend some minutes entertaining this little bundle.
What does one do with one’s arms when posing next to one’s research poster?🤪 I so enjoyed presenting my hand drawn poster at the #PhDSky Postgrad Conference at @northumbriauni.bsky.social today. I had lots of great conversations and it was lovely to meet with other students facing similar challenges
More treasures found at my Mam’s house. Vintage graining rollers I think?
