Yep. One of the many reasons my project has stalled. The government wrote to me recently asking to showcase my project as a ‘Government Volunteer Case Study’. Took a deep breath and basically said “no cussing way…I’ve got this far despite you not because of you.” No reply so far. ✌️🫠

Must confess, it was difficult keeping quiet about it for over a year! 🤐😅

Oh! You kept that quiet @jacklowe.bsky.social ! 👏👏

…if we weren’t already.

It’s how I’m managing to (just about) stay sane. As a friend said to me yesterday, I think most of us are mentally ill now, though.

I had to. Over a year in the making, so it was pretty difficult to keep quiet…tee hee! Was finally allowed to start shouting about it just before Christmas. More info on the project’s website: lifeboatstationproject.com/events/ What’s the publication you’ve got there by the way, Ian?

* it’s only 5 minutes long 🤦‍♂️

Beauty on our doorstep: a starling perched in the sunshine this afternoon. Just before Christmas, I made an audio recording of the starlings hanging about in our garden on a blustery winter’s day. It’s only a 5 minutes long and you can listen to it here: soundcloud.com/mrjacklowe/s...

Oh yes…apologies! I had nacreous clouds on the brain.

Very quiet, Ian. Too quiet, TBH. I shall give it time, though. I’m still in the other place. Despite its myriad faults, there’s still nowhere quite like it. 😅
