A photograph of a purple flower in front of a brown hedge.

I have been doing the generic existing thing; there’s not been a lot spare past that. I had a spell of unexpected bad back pain, which, rude. And then just a higher grade of exhaustion which again, rude. But eh, I’m still alive. That’s always good, ha ha. I’m still doing the things I like, and I’ve got some crafting… Read more »

Behind that is a wall with a notice box on it. And of course, the tip of my finger on the left side, proving it was a delightful cock-up.
