Introducing Pickles. She looks to be having a wonderful dream…in the sky, with flowers.

This is Pickles in the Sky with Flowers.

Not having a cat in my life means I’m excited whenever I meet one in the area. There are a couple who are friendly and like strokes and another I stay well away from as he’s a complete bruiser and shouts at me if I talk cat to him (I have my own language). I had a cat sister called Amy growing up, I housesat cats, I photographed cats, I played with cats, I carried cats around like babies, I built cardboard box forts for cats, I watched cats experience catnip, I would love to come back as a cat. One day, a cat will own me….but not just yet.

In the meantime, this love of the feline form has lead me to a new creative passion in life - conjuring Cosmic Cats.

We all know cats exist on magical plains as well as our own. Those half closed lids, that slow, relaxed purr, the ability to fall asleep at any given moment, being present yet also not at all - what do they see, where do they go, who do they meet?

I’m going to find out…

Here’s another portuguese song I’ve been working on. Soft and gentle like a lullaby. Uma Viagem is for a calm moment of peace. The video is atmospheric this time with lots of moody mist. Thanks jplenio for this photo. Love the hypnotic fire sample on this track too.

Bye Bye Wuwing

This was our dear old car we called the Wuwing. We hoped she’d go on forever. We got her at 70,000 miles and she’s cost us a small fortune. We looked after her rather than buying replacements. Better the devil you know right? Well I’m wondering now for when we were housesitters on the road, we dealt with her engine blowing up and had no choice but to repair her. An expensive, long winded process involving hundreds of miles of travel and months of waiting to finally pick her up. After that happened 2 years ago we hoped she’d go on for a long time. But more parts started failing as of course happens with old cars and we realised she was too expensive to keep.

Check out this badass depiction of Saint Michael by Vuk Kostic I’ve used in my new video. And this colourfully cosmic image from Agsandrew - I can’t get enough of those colours. You can see the full video here and I think it’s rather beautiful.

Ooooo look what arrived in the post today. I’ve got a soft spot for these little creatures, always have, ever since the GameCube.

Celebrating salad as art form tonight with -10 degrees celsius outside I thought a big salad was in order. Ha. Along with piping hot lasagna of course 😉 Yummy!! Nommmmm! Happppppy! ❄️❤️❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❄️❤️❄️

I’m really into this parish council story - a zoom video gone viral about a tiny village meeting in England. I love Jackie Weaver, just as Andrew Lloyd Weber does, having now written a song in her name. I love this changing world and women taking control. Go Jackie Weaver!

My new favourite pastime is catching snowflakes in my mouth as they fall. Doggo mode initiated. The sheer delight when I get one (it’s harder than it looks) is what dreams are made of = tiny bits of floaty candy floss flying around. Yippeee.

Considering it hardly ever snows in Glasgow, now it’s become a fantasy world for a few days. Feeling like an excited kiddo (no change there then). Woo!
