Blurred Orange

3rd January 2026

Saturday at work again, so I’ll probably only really get one thing off the list completed and it’s nice working this out, seeing what I can get done without pushing myself too much.

↠ publish 1 indie publisher directory post
↠ update thoughts and ideas list
↠ write about Screamadelica

Blurred Orange

This was taken in Sunderland Museum at their goldfish ponds, I loved the movement of the fish and how it became so abstract through the ripples on the surface.

This is available to buy on my Redbubble account.

Eight of Pentacles

Today’s card is the Eight of Pentacles, quite a common card with me over the years.

apprenticeship, repetitive tasks, mastery, skill development

This is reminding me that I want learning to be the focus of this year and I really should be getting the books and tools out to make a start on this and walk away from the computer for a while.

It’s reminded me that I was going to look for a few courses to get some help with these things I want to learn, that will be a nice little thing to do during my lunch hour today.

I’ve found Northern Print is a great place to get some art based courses so will look there first.

Nice thing happened over the last couple of days, I’ve received three more author emails to be involved in the interview series. It’ll take me a few days to get these on but I’m always happy when people want to get involved.

Once again I fell asleep when I got home, have started writing about Screamadelica, and started adding to the Thoughts and Ideas post though, should finish them off tomorrow.
