@idakeogh.bsky.social@idakeogh.bsky.socialI love this so much! Thank you! 💖
@idakeogh.bsky.socialHurrah! See you soon!
@idakeogh.bsky.socialFantasycon starts tomorrow! Here's where you can find me. I'll be exhibiting at the art show for the first time this year, and you can also catch me at the Flame Tree launch for a reading from my food themed SFF collection 'Taste', out from Flame Tree in May 2027.
@idakeogh.bsky.socialSo far, excellent wine, but I'm not sure a feta wrap for lunch qualifies for this level of nom. I may have to break out the truffle brie.
@idakeogh.bsky.socialI intend to sleep the sleep tonight of someone who is about to make bad decisions about both... 🧀🍷
@idakeogh.bsky.socialSuch lovely news today - 30 water voles have been released in my area, in an attempt to reintroduce the species and support our local ecosystem 🥰
@idakeogh.bsky.socialI learned some High Valyrian on Duolingo during lockdown. The grammar is surprisingly elegant.
@idakeogh.bsky.socialThank you! It's been months of work but I'm so happy with how it turned out.
@idakeogh.bsky.social@idakeogh.bsky.socialIt's finally finished!
"Sometimes Even Nemo Runs Aground" is my love letter to the the slow recovery process from burnout and fatigue. Escaping a wreck is hard, but there are friends to help and light ahead. 🐙
@idakeogh.bsky.social✨⭐️ Many of you will know Flo and Rob, two truly lovely people who are having a hard time at the moment and could use some help from the community. Any amount you can spare to ease them through Flo's recovery from stroke and seizure, at a time when Rob himself is very unwell, would be amazing. ⭐️✨
@idakeogh.bsky.socialI've been away for a long weekend, but back on it today. I've finished the coral and added a tiny escaping Nemo.
@idakeogh.bsky.socialToday's progress - manta rays!
@idakeogh.bsky.socialThis is a distinction I haven't given much thought to previously. Where does general setting end and worldbuilding begin? Interesting perspective here, and the linked thread to @vajra.me's discussion is also worth a read.
@idakeogh.bsky.socialI can't wait to see the mad brilliance of this book!
@idakeogh.bsky.socialOh I love cootlings, too! Who needs booblets.
@idakeogh.bsky.socialI discovered that baby coots are actually really called cootlets the other day, and it was on the RSPB website so I got to squee about it for a bit.
@idakeogh.bsky.socialA few more photos from last week, playing with the new camera's hefty zoom lens. Taken at Unstead Wetland Reserve, Surrey, and the surrounding area.
@idakeogh.bsky.socialA little more time to paint this morning. I love putting in the tiny details. It's so meditative.
