Doing some work at home this morning has made me think that I should start making jewellery seriously again. I kind of got fed up with making the same designs over and over, and lost the joy of it. Also, I’ve totally lost confidence in Etsy as a selling platform.

Thinking maybe I’ll just make some one-off designs that I really want to make, and see how it goes.

Today’s sheep is looking very regal. Queen of all she surveys. She even has her own (ruined) castle.
I’m wondering if eclectech (npub1rn9…uvnk) could provide her with a crown?

It’s called Outdoor Active. I absolutely love it. It has proper OS maps, and you can plot routes at home, then follow them in real time. I can use a map and compass, but I feel so much more confident having the app.

Slight rant. Someone in the local walking group was asking for recommendations for mapping apps, to plot and navigate etc. A bloke came on said said that all you need is Google maps. This image is what Google maps gives you for the area I was walking in yesterday. No wonder the Mountain Rescue are busier than they’ve ever been.

I had a lovely walk with my friend and her two dogs this morning, up on the hills above Rothbury. It was so beautiful, cold and bright. Wrangling two people and two dogs for a decent photo proved impossible - this is our best shot. I look deranged, for which I apologise.

First media mention of “That dead time between Christmas and New Year when nobody is at work” heard on Radio 4 today 🙄 I don’t know who they think is running hospitals, opening shops, serving food and drinks, keeping transport running etc, a bunch of pixies?

I’ve been for a walk up to Windy Gyle today. Started and finished in warm sunshine, but most of the climb and the summit were obscured by low cloud rolling in and out. So no spectacular views into Scotland for me today. Just shows how quickly conditions can change though.
(It’s a clear track and I know the route, I was fine)
