Inspiration. Partly my age, but I am revsiting themes from my 'youth,' even if I wasn't that young. It's all relative. I am rich compared to some homeless, but on my knees compared to the greedy here! #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Pyramid of the Sun. 'Celebrity Traitors' is on the fn BBC News. It is such rubbish. But Joe Public seems to love it. Circenses et panem, but without the bread. or so the UK seems to be at the moment! #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #frustration

Got a bag of toys from a charity shop in Ely. Love this: a dino on wheels. Just thik - someone to design this, a factory had to prototype, then an assembly line had to churn out the product. I taught D/T. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

No notifications. Pants start to the day. Had to put some washing in straight away this morning. Old age is a mofo. Though Lee passed away about 5 weeks ago, he was only 39. Hit me hard. #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #acrylicpainting

Saw this lot a couple of times. Makes me feel so very old; closer to my death by far than to my birth. Hindsight is a great thing, but it lived in the vase with the old monster Hope. Sigh. #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #frustration

This one might actually be worth something. There's a record fair in Ely on 3rd, but can't get there. May have to ask a friend for a lift? Made the chocolate cake this morning. Has to last over a week! I'd sell my soul if the darling devil came! #theferrisfiles #frustration #metaphorsaplenty

Never managed to see this lot. Shame. I had the other album on bright red vinyl. Where is it now? Who knows, who cares? me, if it'd give me money. Almost ran through an ISA. curse P&S... #theferrisfiles #albumcovers #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Another one harder to find on streaming. Playing my libarary of songs atm; Gary Numan. Saw him at the Corn Exchange; stage only had black walls and white flourescent tubes. Decades later I saw Adam Ant! #theferrisfiles #albumcovers #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Bushfire. A response to Australian problems 6 years ago, but now Europee is burning, and no-one seems to give a. I am living in intersting times, and therefore am cursed! daddy-longlegs on the studio window. #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Always fun to snap the distorted. I should maybe stand outside Downing Street then? 'Maltese' on Lingopie has been great so far, though a couple of their walking tour vids have been less than perfect. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Andrew tells me that some of my 'recent' artwork has been better than some wtf images posted before. Thing is the folder is labelled 'Jan 2020,' so there's a time-shift. Any time is better than now! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

6 posts because I got 5 notifications this morning. Not the best strategy, but all things count the same nowadays if we believe the woke hype! First time to walk to the end of the Smithy Fen lane. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Top of the Pyramid. Rai News talking about the Pope's visit to Lourdes. Wondering if I should watch 'The Big Deal' on catch-up. A programme about art galleries that may send me into hideous fury! #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #drawing #mycottenham

Technical Heavens. Finally a notification on here, so this and one more post to answer. May go out to photograph, or simply indulge in what Samuel Pepys indicated with a secret symbol in his diary! #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #drawing #mixedmedia

Glass Mountain. This world is going to hell in a handcart. There is only ONE issue, and that is climate change, but the stupid powers that be bicker over everything else. the band playing as the ship sinks! #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #drawing #metaphorsaplenty

And the trumpet shall sound... Rampton church organ. Possible cotenant getting cold feet, sI'll hae to pour mre money down the [redacted] drain. 'Goodlord looks ominous,' he tells me. Yet another licensed snooper. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #metaphorsaplenty #frustration

Church and State. Off to collect some new boards for RampArts. I feel the Fates conspiring to get me out of here, but that involves TPS actually coming up with the darn dosh. It's my [redacted] money! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #metaphorsaplenty #frustration

Thee cnsstrruction lobby is strong, theclimae action lobby is weak, so we get [redacted] some more. Will grinning Andy change anything? It's as likely as if the Loch Ness Monster exists! Sigh. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty #frustration

Flying Bed. It's clearly a suggestion that sex can be uplifting, though admittedly not always. I had 6 notifications, but just want to do 3 posts this morning. May go to Peterborough later. #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Bushfire. 6 years before the planet caught fire. I have contacted Teacher pensions hoping a movement after almost 3 years, but not a peep. They are a bunch of [redacted]! I need the money to emigrate. #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #frustration
