This time last week (at around this time, it's almost 12 am, by the way...) the temperature was a balmy 16 - 20 degrees C, give or take a couple of degrees, but no higher than 20... today, it's 6 degrees C, so no wonder why my arthritis is really acting up. It's not just in my left knee, either, or the muscle pain I get in my upper right leg, but my lower back, my elbows, shoulders, neck, ankles...

I suspect that Max is responsible in part for my elbows because of when we go out for walks. But it shows just how a drop in about 10 degrees can really effect things.

Joy oh joy - it's great to have back ache because of lower temperatures...
I often wonder if the creation of art and literature these days is /all/ about minority political agendas since fantasy and sci-fi writing can't be sci-fi and fantasy writing any more, specialist art supplies like markers are arranged into skin tones instead of colour families, etc.....

It's the imposition of politics and people being pushed into writing/painting certain things instead of just doing what they want and which makes the creator happy is what bothers me.

Obligatory remark about how you're *cist and literally Hitler because you want to just enjoy art that isn't just a badly masqueraded asinine political agenda with a cast that is a racial/sexual bingo card.

Aye, but I don't have plans to brainwash people into helping me murder people on an industrialised scale. I just find it irritating when a company makes a lot of sets for colours, but the main shop that sells them in my country only stock the ones for skintones, manga, anime, etc. and not nature/landscape stuff which is what I create.

And now, to see if Tesco will deliver... Probably not...
One of our blinds took a nose dive today and ripped off its fittings, so it can't be put back up. Not surprised, though because it's the third time its fallen down this year. Although I prefer them to curtains, they are more expensive to replace and I don't know if the fittings that are up now will be compatible with a new one, so it's probably just easier to get curtains up instead.
You can never get any peace around here.
Today, Max had his vaccinations. Wasn't easy going to the vets, given what's happened over the past few years, but it's over with now and he's fine. Spent the rest of the day doing some artwork. I am doing another Bag End, but it will be finished tomorrow, as I can't really see the markers properly right now as it's dark!
Got some new art stuff from the works (hopefully!) arriving tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it because I need some new supplies, especially acrylic paints, canvas pads, brushes and watercolour paper. They aren't particularly exciting, (in terms of quality) but I need to replenish them. Not sure what to do with the oil paints I have - I've never really got into the medium because it takes a long time to dry and I -

don't have the space to store them as they dry.

One day soon, my desk, art supplies, crafting supplies and cross stitch/sewing supplies will /actually/ be organised.

Series 2 of Channel 5's All Creatures started airing this week. Glad it's back, but I can't help but feel that some of the drama and conflict between James and the Aldersons is forced... It's not like that in the books, and as the books are semi autobiographical, I feel that the Channel 5 series doesn't represent it close enough. It's not as respectful as it could be towards the real people and their families that

depicted. I don't think that it will ever beat the books, or the BBC's series.

I don't want to go on holiday this year. Too stressful in regards to traveling, especially on a train. Quite honestly, the last time I went near a train, I was ill for a month afterwards, so why would I want to go? There's too many people carrying too much disease.

The BBC now have Climate change under it's own news category on their site. Thing is, it's been too little, too late to combat climate change. I acknowledged this in 2018, when we had the 'Beast from the East' snow storm and the summer long heat wave we had that summer. Not sure what can be done now to prevent it from getting out of control as no country took it seriously enough in the 80's and 90's to do something

about it. There was a lot of protesting and placard waving, but that leads to nothing if governments don't put regulations in place to do something about it and companies don't voluntarily do something BEFORE governments start to actively regulate. Short term profit and short term GDP gains have always been their main priority.

There are times when I can be a bit of a stationary nerd, but these... https://www.cultpens.com/i/q/MD78452/midori-etching-clips
Made the mistake of going to town yesterday. Mistake in that it the place was full of idiots not taking covid seriously. Although I have missed shopping and going to places, I have not missed encountering idiots.

Ordering some more items from Hobby Craft and I am perplexed as to why crafters bother with cricut products because they are so expensive. Does the crafting hobby have a set of Hyacinth Buckets who just buy a ton of expensive things just to show people that they've got it?

What I will do soon is share some of the more interesting art and craft youtube channels that I have come across. They are so inspiring (but be warned - they may make you want to buy more supplies.) I will only be sharing the ones which I think encourage people to use their stash, or have ideas for recycling waste, & show their viewers that they actually use their supplies, & ones which show you how to make things,

art tutorials, etc, rather than just endless 'what I bought' videos. I don't have the technical knowledge (or confidence) to make my own videos, would like to share ones which I've found useful.

There is also a site called Skillshare which seems to be good at encouraging people to try new things but that requires a subscription. These don't, so they might be more helpful to those who can't afford to sign up to subscription sites.

I have found a lot of art supplies that I would like to try over the next few months. It is nice to get back into a creative spot with it - it had waned when we lost Jaffa and I didn't feel like doing it for a very long time.
If there is one thing I don't like, it's the idea of dog crates for your dog. I've never used them. I don't really see the need for them and they have the potential to be mis-used. Dogs aren't meant to be kept shut up in a tiny cage and I am perplexed as to why some people think that they are necessary. In contrast, there is a big movement among rabbit keepers to stop using cages and hutches to keep rabbits in and
bright-eyes 3 years ago

allow them to wander about the house. If keeping rabbits in a confined space isn't good for them, why do people think that it's OK for dogs?

birdsandstars 3 years ago

Had a family member who thought every pet we had was ~unclean~ and hated that they could make messes, even if it was easy to clean up after them. I hated getting pets because she'd find any reason to cast them outside in those tiny crates/cages and they'd eventually miserably waste away and no one can oppose her narcissistic tyranny. She also refused to understand any of that was bad for them. It was depressing.

birdsandstars 3 years ago

Worst thing is, she showed up MANY years after we had cats, then tossed them all out in cages (PERSIAN CATS in the Saudi heat!!!), or she'd be fine with a rabbit wanderig at first, then no, cage only, and the poor rabbit got blisters that got infected because it was confined to this area with stairs and no rug or soft anything to tread on. Just so much horrific imposed neglect.

bright-eyes 3 years ago

It's just awful. Some people build an outdoor cattery in the garden if they don't want the cat to roam around. Even over here, cats are horribly neglected because people just let them out to wander, don't bother having their vaccines done, don't have them neutered or spayed, so they end up living half wild and forming feral colonies, or people just allow them to over breed so there are loads around the house. Without

proper veterinary care, they become really sick or spread disease among themselves. It's very sad. The catteries are great if they are constructed properly and cleaned regularly, but not everyone has the resources or space to build them. Rabbits aren't very easy to care for, either, because they need a lot more than people think they need, and a lot of the housing you can get for them is poor quality, and rots very

easily. We also have foxes (I don't blame them, because it's not their fault,) that can get to them if the housing for them isn't secured. People also abandon them quite regularly, too, especially at this time of year. People get them for their children, but the children stop caring for them when they go back to school, weather becomes nasty, so no one wants to clean them out. I no longer have any 'caged' animals

bright-eyes 3 years ago

because we don't have the room to care for them. I wish people were more thoughtful before they get animals, make sure that they have everything the animal needs and can continue to care for them right before they get them, and that companies making things for animals were more regulated so that they make better products for them. I even have to be careful about the toys that I get Max because he can easily chew

bright-eyes 3 years ago

through them. Kong toys are about the only ones I find now that are tough enough to hold up to his chewing. The quality of dog toys seem to have got worse since the '90's, not better.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58560031 In other words, lockdown will become the norm, once again. When the government drags it's heels over vaccinating kids and idiots go into shops without wearing facemasks (as happened today when I went to the shop), you can see why it's needed once again.
