My records say August 25th, 2014, but that can’t be quite right. I’d date this 2008 or earlier.

It’s the melting point of Tungsten, if memory serves me right.

I am a proud owner of a genuine home-made ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics frieze. Starting out with almost four meters in August 2008 it now measures seven meters, and makes it around the sitting room half way. Way to go!

We went on a nature exploration trip through Borneo in one of our our first trips to south-east Asia, and we loved every minute of it.

This detail of Borneo still adorns out kitchen to this day.

I quite like these panorama paintings. They really started out because we had a pack or two of those tongue-and-groove floorboards left over, these from the loftconveration aka my study aka my studio. They sit on a door frame or elsewhere on top of the picture rail and have the adorable attribute of being overlooked. These are very shy paintings, not pushing themselves into the foreground at all. That’s something I really like about them.
