Nae real plans at aww this weekend, score! Mibbe a film the nicht instead, currently oan a cheeky gin and some world of tanks

[–] linzid83@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sounds perfect! Which film though?,

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Went with the Edinburgh rugby match instead. 10-0 up with only 16" played. Lions were dreadful last week vs Glasgow though, may switch to some comedy at half time. Perfect Friday night viewing

Holidays are finally here!!!! Thank goodness!! Reasonably quiet weekend then away for a few days break!

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nice, I booked myself off the second week of course. Hot-tubbing though, so who cares if wet?

[–] linzid83@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Perfect!! It will be good just getting the time off!!

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Woop woop hope it's somewhere nice

[–] linzid83@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! Just going to Northumberland. Weather looks nice so that will be good to get out walking etc!

There is no just. If anything i have learned over the last couple years anywhere outside of a 5 mile radius of the places you spend most of your time is absolutely amazing.

Enjoy

Lol I know what you mean. I think I feel like I have to justify it because I had the chance to go somewhere absolutely amazing, but knocked it back!!

Maybe going to take a look at the bike. Chain skipping. Hopefully can do something with it that doesn't immediately require replacement parts.

Work-wise continue efforts to get out of my art-rut and get back to finding more illustration / creative paid work. Should've just been a decorator. Not always so creative but at least the money's okay.

Chains have a shelf live sadly. Derailer might be able to help?

[–] Fluffgar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Aye. I've had the bike a while now too. Hoping the replacement can be delayed while I'm getting used to riding again. Just on empty footpaths for now. Never been very confident around any traffic. Wheeled or footed.

Try my hand at most things. Probably the most work I've done is hand-drawn illustration. Some of it is on Pixelfed, if you're curious. Mixed in with convention pics :)

Do you do any yourself?

Looks good!! Very interesting, especially the horns/hairband!

I am not an artist!!! I do stuff with the kids in class but don't think its great!!
