The little ones. The thoughts and comments which are low friction and created in a heartbeat as they occur.

In the spirit of showing my work, the self portrait is progressing. I’m very rusty and it’s starting to look a little bit like the Joker 😂 🎨

A hand-painted portrait of a man with glasses and a scarf is placed on the floor in front of a tablet displaying the reference photo, alongside paintbrushes and a container of paint.

Another day of work today as I try to use up my annual leave before the end of March. I’ve dug out my paints and plan to try and make some progress on a self portrait I started last week. It’s been so long since I did any painting, I forgot how hard it is.

Typical that the time I make the decision to try a separate micro blog my domain register is having issues with the TLD I have spare and I can’t change the name servers to point and DNS to point it to micro.blog.

A quick test from the iOS app to make sure I changed the settings properly.

Decided to try a paid version of Micro.blog out for shorter posts while I figure out if I want it all on one domain or not. I have a spare domain name that I can use here.

Finally sorting my road bike out, cleaned and oiled up. Time to start using her as my daily exercise time and chance to get out the flat.

From my trip to Rome at the end of November, when we could walk freely around a beautiful city.

The ancient Roman Colosseum stands against a clear blue sky, showcasing its iconic arches and weathered stone exterior.

Took this a few weeks ago when I was walking home one evening. It was peaceful then. Now when you go out at night it feels eery, but there is a kind of beauty to the emptiness.

Got these cakes for my birthday yesterday and Forest followed up with a win tonight to go top of the league!

Four cupcakes are arranged on a dark plate, two decorated with black and white soccer balls surrounded by dark green leaves, and two topped with white fondant discs displaying a red tree logo and the word FOREST.
