I spent some time going through old photos, especially of the Lake District, to find projects for my artwork. This cheeky seagull, parking in a 'no parking' zone at Lakeside (on Windermere), is next on the list!

Another example of appalling media bias. This German story makes a big play that an attacker was a Syrian immigrant and totally buries the fact that the big hero of the day was another Syrian immigrant who rammed the attacker with his food delivery truck to save lives. A far better story.

"£2.99 is a bit pricy. I'll wait till it drops to 99p." Said no one ever about a latte! So why do we expect books to be that cheap? It's something I hear a lot. We all do it (me too when the Daily Deal email appears) but if a coffee is worth £2.99, surely an author is too. #books #reading #booksky📚💙

We're getting the last 3 non-double glazed windows replaced today so 1, I've been booted out of my study and am managing on a laptop on the sofa and 2, there are wide open spaces where those windows used to be. In Cumbria. In February. turns blue It should be warmer when it's finished, though...

What a fascinating discovery. There's so much similarity between Cumbria and the Scandi countries (language, place names) - it's interesting to see where the Norse settlers actually lived... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Here’s a Valentines treat - a free short story with a fun twist in the tail. In 'Coffee for a Kiss', Dan gets more than he bargained for when the barista at his local coffee shop suggests he pays for his latte with a kiss - but all may not be what it seems! www.prolificworks.com/discover/aut...

Nice trip to Ulverston this morning - it's a really old market town and fascinating to poke round. We found snowdrops in the churchyard, and a wonderful old advertising sign painted on one of the shops in the town centre. I'm wondering what Abbey Sauce tasted like!

Had a blustery, cold but dramatically-lit walk along the prom at Grange over Sands the other day - and saw a raven flying overhead!

That was fun! Last night's Art Society included a demo/workshop on "acrylics with textures" - involving much experimenting with eggshells, sand, glue, and paint. I haven't got that messy since primary school!!

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate. (They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase). 1) Go to your account page 2) Hit cancel 3) Change sub back.

I was waiting in for a delivery most of yesterday, but it finally turned up about 4pm so I dashed out for a walk - just as the evening sun lit up the snowy fells. No snow at our level, thank goodness!

I'm slightly knocked sideways (in a good way!) to have my first ever art commission. A friend asked me to do a charcoal drawing of her beloved cat who passed away last year. I've never drawn animals before but have been working on it the last couple of days and so far I'm really pleased with it...

Dodged some torrential sleety showers to go for another walk this afternoon and couldn't resist snapping this rather magical/ghostly tree covered with feathery lichen...

Weather not great - cold, wet and blustery with yet another storm rolling in - but I ventured out for a walk round the local streets and was rewarded with the first snowdrops! #springiscoming
