What I Think About When I'm Not Thinking About Football or Art...

So, I was thinking about things other than football and here are some of highlights, in no particular order!   Posca pens - these are great art pens - they're my favourite art thing - I know I said not thinking about football or art, but that's not really possible.

Happy New Year - It's been a Slow Start to 2024!

Happy New Year 2024 to you all! It's quite likely that you've (like me) been enjoying the dubious pleasures of the 100 day cough! It may have been a virus or possibly three, according to my doctor! Either way, it has finally done one and I now feel that I can look forward to the year ahead, or what's left of it!   So here's what I'm planning for this year: Ongoing work on the LUFC murals and a new mural project is on the books for 2024.
