I created this photo using recent research so it relaxes your brain when you pause to look at the details. As I'm sometimes too unwell to post here (not good mental health due to PMDD & recovering from a breakdownA) it would help so much if you could maybe RT my photo. Many thanks 🌿

Happy birthday to my friend Ruairi. I drew his late dog Sam. Can you tell what he's biting? #Mournes #alsatian #dog #art #romyart #painting #drawing #germanshepherd

This painting has gone missing! She never got it home! It was in a polypocket and there was a painting of 3 trees in the back & I wrote a happy birthday message on it. Disappeared from the taxi. Who would nick something so personal?!

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and in 1949 he won an Oscar for ‘Battleground’.

Also just googled where Mock the Week is filmed & tinternet says London. I should have coherent thoughts before I start trundling out posts!

The Autumn Fair in Belfast's Botanic Gardens is a great place to get free trees; meet your mates; admire enormous veg; feel unsettled by bonsai; watch live music & circus; do art, & much more! It's on again today.

I was happily rereading Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything when my 22 yr old son pointed out that it's 31 years out of date. He ruined it. Turns out there was an updated version published in 2025- he'd better buy me it.

Here he is again, Wrong Way Willie arriving almost too late for the #BirdoftheDay photoshoot. "We told him that @robcrank68.bsky.social wanted #EgretsandHerons today", said Edward Egret, Chief Waterbird Wrangler. "But Willie always goes his own way..." #photography #birds #nonsense

[20] … being treated worse than abominably. The Nazis had an expression for this - life unworthy of life. A criminal riot in Belfast is indicative of one thing - that the British establishment is now applying colonial violence to its own population.

This is how communities show up for each other. Do read this by Nicola Browne from Act Now👇

“People in Northern Ireland have muscle memory of violence, murder and riots in our not-very-distant past. We also have muscle memory on how to organise and help each other through.
