Eh, it's been okay so far, I suppose. Discovered via Facebook that one of the donkeys at a sanctuary I volunteer at died yesterday. He was 47 years old, but has now left a huge donkey shaped hole in the hearts of all who knew him, since he was such a character. Other than being sad about that, just been going for walks. Oh, and trying my hand at making some chocolates, just to keep me occupied.

Here's mine. It's new, so not a lot there at the moment. It'll mostly be photos, with maybe a few drawings thrown in for good measure.

Egg, cheese and salad, with water to drink. Followed by half a bar of dark chocolate. Whoops.

PB & Banana smoothie. Was yum.

Ministrone soup, with crusty bread on the side.

Pretty tired, but otherwise okay.

Leftover veggie chili in a toasted pitta.

Made this oatmeal. It was delicious.

Veggie chili and potatoes.

Upset.

Lentil dahl with salad on the side.

The Black Lung Captain by Chris Wooding. Also re-reading Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch.

Leftover bean goulash in a pitta with cheese on top. And a leafy salad on the side.

Trying to rain. Not particularly cold though.

I wear glasses. Used to wear contact lenses, but after a while, they started to irritate my eyes, so went back to glasses. Wore wire frames in junior school. Remember I was sat in assembly one time, and one of my lenses just suddenly popped out of the frames. Turn's out the screw had worked itself loose over time, and fallen off. Never did find it.

Think I'll have to bow out on catching the bronze. Just not quick enough, to be honest. Good luck to anyone else still trying to catch one, though!

This. Never really had a great deal of luck when it comes to finding nice lineages in the AP. Couldn't quite believe my luck in fishing this little beauty out!

Thanks for the tips! I always use moisturizer anyway. Don't have a primer, but will look around and see what there is on offer.

Never really been one for makeup. I'll put some BB cream, eyeshadow and blush on if I'm going out, but otherwise just don't bother with the stuff. I do have uneven skin tone on my face, which the BB cream does cover up, but I tend to find that after a few hours, it's sunk into my pores, and shows off the fine lines I have. Or it might just be that I'm not very good at applying it. One of my friends in college slathered me in makeup once. Trouble was, she made me up the way she put her own makeup on. I looked awful. Really didn't suit me at all.

Yep, wasp stings can really hurt. Horseflies are a pain in the summer, though. Where there are horses, there are likely to be horseflies.

Stepped on a wasp when I was younger. Hurt like anything. Have also been bitten by a horsefly. Trust me, you'll know when one of them bites you. They're big, but sneaky. Tend to land, bite, then fly off before you can smack them.

Managed to lock myself with four. Will be interesting to see how these guys turn out, by the looks of it!

Request! Looking for some art of this little chap here. Don't mind if it's traditional or digital, and he can be in whatever pose you feel like drawing him in. Just one thing. He usually has a small shark plushie that he carries with him at all times. If you could draw him with it, then that would be a bonus. If anyone is interested in drawing him, then please PM me.

Toast, a few strawberries and a glass of cranberry juice.

Dear diary: Oh, how I wish for some kind of order in this place! Granted, the only time we really come together is when there are eggs and hatchlings to be looked after, or there's some great matter of importance to be dicussed, weighted or argued over. But still...these hatchlings may be trouble. I've already had to treat the Tangar hatchling for various wonds, caused by the Brutes "playing" with it. Two of them, a male called Aoineart and a female named An Eilrig have already left the area, since they wanted to claim territories of their own. As have two Fever Wyverns, also a male and female. Not sure that we'll be seeing all that much of the female Fever. The male, possibly, but again, still unsure. He seems more willing to try to make an effort to visit occasionally, or so I gathered from the few things he siad before he left. No use dwelling on it, I suppose.
