ArcTanGent 2019

08/18/2019

ArcTanGent has consistently the best lineup by far of any festival that I know of. This year it was so packed I hardly had any time in Clashfinder for Festival Admin (my new favourite phrase), and ended up feeling pretty ill day one because I forgot to eat all day.

Had a great time at Jaws 'n' Claws at The Booth Museum. Tabitha held a giant snail after being too c

I see this lady around the village all the time. We saw her sketching a lady at the Rottingdea

Humans Being Bros

I hate seagulls.

"Panini" is the plural, and I wish I had never learned this because every time I see a shop that sells "paninis", I find it irksome. So, share my irk.

Tabitha asked me yesterday why I put a picture of my dinner on the school's internet. She's been using her time on the computer to look me up, and she's found this website. If that's not an excuse to write here more, I don't know what is.

A friendly showoff came to visit

Now that I am officially old, I like taking photos of the birds that come to our garden.

We've been watching Sabrina (the original series) with Tabitha and I really like it. It's super sweet and funny and has some lovely little stories about being a little bit different at school.
