Geoffrey Boycatt update: still consistently upside down

A black cat on a grey carpet. He is on his back with his head towards the camera and his tail to the side, his back legs akimbo and his front legs pointing upwards. Behinds him is an Edwardian rocking chair and a deed box with a magazine rack on top of it. The magazine rack contains two books and a portrait painted by @trishpiglet.bsky.social because we can't get a nail to stay in the wall and command strips dont work on texured wallpaper. In the background is what passes for a kitchen in London rentals.

A black cat naps in a halway between two banks of umhung art and (not visible) at the top of a flight of three stairs. He is fully upside down and fully asleep, snoring.

A black cat on a grey carpet, upside down with his head towards the camera and his yellow eyes wide open. His legs are all sticking out as if to invite belly scritches, but his humans are aware that this is a trap. Behind him is an empty cat bed and a bakelite phone from the 1960s beside a SAD lamp

A black cat lies on a desk, he is curled into an arc with his head upside down and his eyes half closed in bliss while a white hand with tattooed fingers and a silver cladagh ring provides belly scritches.

Shocked to discover that every single person in the 32 seats of this tube carriage is disabled, for that is the only reason not to Stand For The Badge.

Poems on the Underground is one of, possibly my absolute, favourite things about London.

A long, white rectangular poster where the advertisements and maps sit in a tube carriage. The title of the poem, in red and to the left, is No One Mentioned The Roofer. To the right is the poem:

We met the Minister, we gave him buns, we admired his suit.The band played, we all clapped.No one mentioned the roofer;whose overtime was cutwhose under time was cutwhose fringe was cutwhose shoelaces were cutwhose job was lost.We searched for his job but it had disappeared.One of us should have said: Hey Minister,we like your suit have a bun, where are our jobs?But there was no point, he was here on a bun eating sessionnot a job finding session.His hands were tied.His tongue a marshmallow.

I had a go at felting. It was... well...

A felted pigeon that's slightly off in myriad ways. His beak is exactly the same shade as his head and may be protruding from his chest.

Come to our picnic. We've got a bubble machine.

The back of the flyer which reads

Bring something to sit on, food, drinks, outdoor games, your guitar, your mates and your water bottle (it'll be hot!)

Wear anything you want, as long as you remember your sunscreen

Get there vy entering the park at the Albert Gate, crossing Rotten Row and Serpentine Road with the Serpentine Bar and Kitchen on your left, and looking for the bi and pan flags.

Accidental chiaroscuro

Would you like to see my latest dyspraxic fail? Geoffrey Boycatt's new nametag is comically 1970s disco stu medallion sized.

David Hockney died and I'm unexpectedly extremely upset about it. We are both from the same set of villages in Bradford. At the top of my street was a fish and chip shop with a drawing by him done in 1954, still hanging there. They must've known what it was worth but it never moved.

Geoffrey Boycatt, seen here attempting to escape the carrier, has got cystitis because the weather changed. What a diva.

I bought reusable fabric #BWithTheT banners. Behemoth had opinions.

A small rectangular fabric banner on a gray carpet. The banner features overlapping trans and bi flags and has the hashtag BWithTheT across the centre. The banner features grommets in each corner for hanging.

Misogynist tells me people like me are awful and they want to stay away from me. Still follows.

Reply to an old post from someone who follows me. "Dont worry, being as far away as possible from people like you is my comfort zone"

Not sure what's going on on Filey beach. Assume harbinger of apocalypse, or razor clams.

I am 44 today.

A middle aged white woman with green and black hair and bright red lipstick. She is wearing a necklace that read 'anodd' in glittery green text. She is not happy about being 44 tbh.

Censored by a bird

The storefront of This Shop is So Gay in York. The woodwork is painted yellow and the word GAY is painted on the window. The shops name is in a red stencil font, and a bird mid flight is in front of the Y in gay, so it reads This Shop is So Ga

You know how I love buying vintaaaage bisexual books to be mad at? Finally tracked down a copy of this. OBVIOUSLY it will never be as bad as the book I annotated with expletives and hexes on the author(Loving them Both by Colin MacInnes) but Im looking forward to hating it.

The cover of Barry and Alice: Portait of a Bisexual Marriage by Barry Kohn and Alice Matusow. The book is a taupe/beige colour with the title in black in the centre and the subtitle in red at a quarter of the size beneath it. The author names are at the bottom and a photo of them with their child is at the top.

Look at that crust. Homer dribble dot jay peg or what.

The extremely flaky crust of a just-baked quiche.

They supervise my efforts.

Metal plaque showing Bob and Linda Belcher hugging against a background of roses. The words "you and me" run along the top and the words "we got this" run along the bottom.

Bloody love a quiche. Partner will not eat shortcrust so puff it must be, and honesty it's not a downgrade. This one is ham, cheddar and onion, for @kittenparades.bsky.social. I also made spinach, pea and parmesan which is currently baking.

A golden brown quiche with a puff pastry base that is just coming away from the tin. It is sitting on a hob that could do with wipe down tbh.

Oh the weather outside is frightful But my fan is so delightful Outside I refuse to go, Let it blow let it blow let it blow

Spotted this outside Tooting station. Low on a wall, looks like its been there a while as it's pretty weathered. It's definitely a humanoid figure, with two birds on its head, prominent ears and maybe a bindi? So perhaps religious in nature?
