Cousin Jack of all trades, master of dungeons and medieval dick jokes. She/they.

A medieval “bee” tattoo on the front of an ankle, above some rainbow sandals. The bee looks like a monkey nut with eyes and bird wings, because that’s how medieval people liked it.
It’s three green beans. They’re very pale because they’re the cresco variety and they’re in my hand in my kitchen. Imagine the hand has a sense of immense pride.
A pack of bay leaves which describes them as “100% pure”
A radish being held up to catch the light. It’s perfect. It’s totally perfect. If you said to someone “I’ve just seen a radish” this would be the radish they pictured in their head.
“Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point”
A small black cat in a wildly fancy collar of lace and burgundy velvet with a pearl ornament. She is looking suitably hopeful because I am holding a treat bag behind the camera. Otherwise she is furious.
“DnD player: You’ve got this whole world planned out haven’t you? [DM looks behind screen: there’s nothing, only a hastily written note. It says ‘sexy goblin?’] DM: Yes.”
A two tier cake decorated haphazardly with whipped cream, grated chocolate and blue sprinkles, with a “2” shaped candle in the top. Frankly, it’s a bit of a mess.
A small black cat has a brand new catflap… she will scratch everywhere on the door but said flap.
A seed tray on a heat mat. A blackboard label has been affixed to the clear plastic top. It reads: “CAPSICUM ROULETTE”. May the gods have mercy on our tongues.
A card which reads: “congratulations on your remote gynaecological surgery…”
A very small black kitten - her eyes are still blue and she can’t retract her claws yet so she’s all needles. She’s being held up and looks very much as she does now: affronted by the imposition.
A Lego minifigure of a brown haired person in a pink and blue cat jumper. They’re holding a pink ball of yarn and a white cat is next to them… the cat is the opposite colour for my cat but the rest is pretty spot on.
A pombear packet with the King pombear on one side and the little crisps on the other. The king pombear is smiling with his thumb up as if to encourage the devouring of his young.
A frankly vast board game collection crammed into shelves in a purpose built room. It’s like a cross between a library and a terrifying game of real life Tetris. A a leather backed chair stands next to a game table set for frosthaven. A can of Coke Zero is left on the table without a coaster for which I will be surely scolded. A couple of games are on top of the shelves but they’ve always been there so they don’t count shhhhh.
A small black cat sleeping on a bed. She is so curled up she looks like a void has appeared, like in a looney tunes cartoon.
A double spread of a bullet journal filled with many different sized circles in different colours.
A small black cat with big yellow eyes that want the dreamies so so badly. She is wearing a ruffled lace collar replete with a burgundy bow and pearl bead.
A small curly haired person with big but not outstanding boobs, standing in front of a waterfall wearing a white T-shirt in a move that can only be called “foolish”
A LONG hot water bottle in a crocheted cover - the yarn is rainbow striped but the stripes aren’t clean because it’s all one yarn. It is laid on a bed with a crochet blanket I made when I was very ill with depression years ago.
A small black cat in a ruffled lace collar replete with burgundy velvet bow and pearldrop accent. She is looking coyly up because I am holding a dreamie to get her attention and make her sit (yes she does sit on command for dreamies).
A small black cat in a preposterous lace collar sitting on a cat tree and looking wistfully out of a frosted window.
A small black cat in a ruffled lace collar with a burgundy bow and pearldrop. She looks like she’s either going to kill me or drop the hottest sonnet collection of 1802.
A loooong hot water bottle with a cover being crocheted around it. The yarn makes stripes in muted rainbow colours. It is on the lap of a very depressed person in a beige dress (me).
The board for the game “Fromage”, a beautifully illustrated cheese making game where the board is a lazy Susan!
A nativity seen outside a church in white cutouts to look like silhouettes. The Mary figure looks extremely like an alien with a long neck and little oval head.
Mabel is much younger and thinner in this photo. They are delightedly - I cannot stress enough how delightedly - pointing at a sign next to them that says “next stop: Uranus”. You can’t see their Mum behind the camera, but rest assured she is disappointed.
A sign saying “Paddle & Cocks solicitors”
The medieval women poster featuring a line of nuns nunning wonderfully.
Two people (one Doug one Mabel) standing in front of a plant laden waterfall at the Eden project.
A small black cat looking extremely unimpressed by the numerous things her owner has done with her life that aren’t “look after Teasel”.
A staircase behind a sofa adorned with a blue quilt. It is ordinarily hung with multicoloured bunting, but at this festive time of the year paper origami stars have been added to the bunting by means of paperclips and small pegs. It looks significantly rustic, which is a polite way of saying cobbled together haphazardly.
An 8-pointed star decoration held up against a plain wall.
A black cat in a very twisted shape on a crocheted blanket
