18+ welshpixie OP , 1 month ago

Blacks all filled in, apart from the big middle bit; haven't decided what I'm doing with that yet.

Next, detail and shading in the ropes.

This is going to take ages

Why do I do this to myself

18+ welshpixie OP , 1 month ago

It look purty! I'm going to have the hair change into stonework in the outer ring so that only the front bottom beard and moustache part is hair. Hope that will look good o.o

Taking a break now. Got a busy weekend so may not finish this until next week.

@loren @schratze this (the plap one) is the best toot to see first thing in the morning opening Masto

They have four nests, this is the largest one. How many ants and pupae would you estimate are in these eight chambers? … Can you spot the queen? (she is visible and identifiable)

This is the colony that never stops growing. Camponotus nicobarensis, but I’d call them Tiger Ants for their stripes and spunky personality.

18+ welshpixie , 2 months ago

@futurebird At the top-middle of the bottom-right chamber, just by the opening?

Got a strip of red cabbages and an argyranthemum frutescens (a kind of daisy) at the shop today, so just planted those ^.^ We've now got gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries, courgette, tomatoes, and red cabbage growing either on the dirt on the left or in pots, and on the right in pots there are mini carrots, thyme, rosemary, lemon thyme, mint, clematis, and the new daisy bush.

A row of orange and black buckets against a rusted corrugated metal fence on a patch of yellow-brown gravel. They all have freshly planted herbs and flower bushes in them.

welshpixie OP , 2 months ago

Oh, and that big bush at the back of the dirt patch is comfrey, good for making fertiliser tea ^.^

I want to grow potat, have never grown potat before

I assume supermarket potats are a no-go and don't propagate?

I have surgery on my thyroid today basically bcuz cancer concern. I still have to parent this morning. Still have to get dressed. Still have to deal with other people's nonsense. (Like a lease renewal inspection, which we've never had before. My body hurts from cleaning. I still have more to do before I have to leave for the hospital). Still have to pay bills. Gotta be calm. And I'm hungry ASF. I didn't even get to see all the eclipse cuz of fuckin cloud cover 😭 I did get pics tho, at least
