…and a beautiful sea slug too

Me too!

The tags say ‘old car’

The accompanying tags are ‘car’ and ‘old car’ so I’m guessing it’s either the door handle or possibly bonnet/hood icon…I did think it was an insect when I first saw it, love the green!

That’s really lovely! Are you still friends or in contact with them today?

I was taken under the wing of a motherly school friend after I was ostracized and bullied by previous ‘friend’ group…I got my diagnosis 30+ years later

Really beautiful photo!

Some years ago, I saw a neat photo collage centered around power lines by some artist

Was it something like this?

I posted his work to collage sometime ago

Totally agree…

I’ve been using mint for the last 4 years, and while I have had to use the command line for some obscure installs, it also works as an OS without needing to use it (i jumped in at the deep end and installed it in a pc I got from my brother and used it as my everyday OS)

I don’t understand why Mint isn’t the first suggestion for Linux ‘virgins’ switching over from Windows etc, it has everything you need pre installed plus the download manager for anything else

Linux has a flavour for everyone, and after a while when you’re confidence and skills grow there is the fun of using the command line and a bit of tinkering…or not, if you are happy with the ‘basics’

I was pushing it a bit, but I couldn’t resist it’s little face

Scotland does have it’s share of horrible decor, I do quite like the over abundance of tartan soft furnishings though…I’ve seen some that must be like living in one of those ‘magic eye’ pictures, must be fun if you have epilepsy…

They’re over 70.

No need for a proper sink in the kitchen as they exist on Wiltshire Farm Foods 👍

Well that’s worse than useless…

I’m fully convinced it’s a house for sex parties. Glossy wipe down surfaces for added hygiene, plus the plastic covers on the seats and table, a pointless sink to rinse your dick in, the weird bedroom/toilet/utility room. It’s high up on a hill so there’s the potential for some al fresco fucking, a marque out front…I’ve clearly been thinking a lot about this

edit- I forgot about the glass gimp box under the stairs…

It’s also been reduced! Buyers market… perfect for a Hugh Hefner Valley type

I think that’s the one with the fridge freezer in it …I think I was just getting really confused by then

Rip out the horrible interior, extend, it could look really nice!

In it’s current state though, it’s just bizarre. It’s like an ‘upmarket’ house in the countryside for sex parties… Maybe the weird hand wash basin in the kitchen is for rinsing your dick in?

I’m glad there are artists capturing the normal sights of places instead of focusing on the most impressive and amazing parts of the world, you know?

I agree, it’s always nice to see your local places immortalized in art, I think it helps that she’s from Bolton, although I haven’t seen any paintings of that downtrodden place yet…

All that’s missing from the paintings is a couple of spice-heads, and the guy who’s always playing the ‘Harry Potter Theme’ on a recorder near Selfridges

Love back at you, from up the road 🐝 ❤️

She’s won a few awards for her work which doesn’t surprise me!

I’ll be posting some of her other work at some point which is just as good, if not better…even though I do love the fact that she makes Blackpool look pretty fucking amazing 🤣

Nice find! I thought it was a spider web-kaleidoscope mash up

It took me a while, even with the brief description to ‘see’ it…there’s a concrete/tarmac quality to the ice which always throws me for a minute…I like the gaping maw description- very apt

Guilty as charged

I discovered The CryptoNaturalist over at the other place, and ending up buying ‘Field Guide to the Haunted Forest’ and ‘Love Notes from the Hollow Tree’ by Jarod K. Anderson…

Which is unusual for me as I detest poetry. I think it’s a pile of long-winded, navel gazing wank…Except for haiku, (because they’re short and sweet, and condense things down to their essence, which I like).

I like The CryptoNaturalist though, probably because they write about nature in a weird, beautiful and wonderous way. I want to use the word ‘magical’ to describe it, but am reluctant, for reasons

Also, thanks to this post I just found out there’s a couple of other books available which I’m going to buy tonight 😀

I never knew Venetian blinds could be so aesthetically pleasing, the distortion effect with the overlap is particularly good
