Made this for Easter.

The outline is a single line, I used a gold leaf clipping mask for the tomb and another grey layer for the stone.

One of the reasons I use yellow/ orange in my sketches is my interest in iconography.

A sketchnote summary of Henri Nouwen’s The Way of the Heart. I had forgotten I had made this after I read it but @mwerickson reminded me of it.

When you make friends with someone on micro blog you never know what will happen.

I really like this one.

A new, partially recycled iPhone case

When I got my new iPhone last year I picked up a dirt cheap case of Amazon for some basic protection. It was fine, but not attractive and I didn’t realise how much it reduced Magsafe. Well, last week I replaced it with an Otterbox core (using an Amazon voucher I got from work). It’s great. I love the flecked look and the stronger magnets have made it attach better to my Belkin mount and Kuxui 3-in-1 Magsafe charger. Plus, it’s made from 50% recycled plastic.
I’m sure there are nicer cases out there, and I would have a loved a good orange case (Orange is clearly the best colour, and yet so many shades suck) but I’m happy with my choice. At least for now.

The new Lublin bus station last night.

The central Lublin bus station. With pillars that look like tree branches.

How I think I’ll feel when fasting vs how I actually feel.

Just me?

The pessimist says it’s half empty.

The pedant says it’s full.

This is the exact loop in thinking I go through whenever I consider moving my newsletter off substack. “Helpfully”, my sketchy ideas website also seems to be down. So maybe this is the push I need to move platform (Is that Ghost whispering my name I hear?)

Dog vs Apple Pencil.

Today I learned there’s a raspberry pi store in Cambridge. I’ve just managed to avoid buying one. For now.

In Cambridge today to see some old friends.

Family Christmas in the Derbyshire Dales. It’s been lovely, windy and exhausting. Still a few more days to go when we leave. We’ve had erratic internet access the whole time but I picked up an eSim for the rest of our stay here. Still, even that doesn’t always provide access! The process was great though, still not as good as the old EU roaming was but better than high roaming fees.

A new sketchnote summary of an article on 8 ways to end imposter syndrome for good.

A sketchnote of Nick Wignall’s article 8 Ways to end imposter syndrome for good.

“Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.” ― Benjamin Franklin

The word Life made up of the word time written over and over again.

Two pictures of people at a party. One shows one person thinking “I don’t belong here” and a headline (what it feels like) and the other shows everyone thinking the same thought and rhetoric headline “reality”.

Just me?

A chart that shows productivity is inversely proportional to the number of browser tabs you have open.

Something im working on for next week. Not sure it’s quite right (may take out the headings?)Might reread some parts of 4000 weeks too. This is basically about how talking about work-life balance isn’t great because work is still life and it can actually cause more burnout.

Two calendars. One with work and life appointments. The other with just life representing the issue of work life balance.

“We do not learn from experience . . . we learn from reflecting on experience.”
