This is an in-depth look at the extraordinary Serapeum in Saqqara in Egypt. Situated close to the step pyramid in Saqqara and discovered by the french egyptologist Auguste Mariette in 1850. After using dynamite to access the underground labyrinth of tunnels, twenty five precision cut huge granite boxes were discovered. Apparently only one of these […]
Painting – Jellyfish sea
I thought I would switch from the sky to the ocean, it started with the idea of a jellyfish…

On the piss
On the piss. A funny saying here in the UK for when something is on the lean or not in a straight line (not sure if it’s common elsewhere). Also used for going out to get inebriated. On the lash being an interchangeable term for this also, and now and again one might use getting shit faced to explain what your purpose is for a Friday night or weekend. I love language and its uses and meaning!
Yesterday we had a bit of play in the sun with the ball. On the way back she looked as if she would fall over 🤣 action shots are so much fun.

Rosemary Beetle
Not the best shot as it wouldn’t turn around and was quite shy. But such beautiful colours and a metallic look.

While we work… (poetry)
While we work
Through all the stress
It may just seem
That it’s hopeless
Cornered in
They try to make
The truth appear
From something fake
Planting seeds
Of what comes next
Then lay the words
And the context
Within your mind
It does then stir
And not long after
Seems to occur
Because you knew
Well in advance
It helped to keep
You in their trance
Waiting to see
When they will give
The people back
A chance to live
But some won’t wait…

Hellraiser – artwork
It took a few decades and being off work in the lockdown, but my brother has finally drawn me a picture now he’s not tattooing for a bit (hopefully he’ll be back to it soon).
But, I said Hellraiser, this is what I got 😍🖤
