I've just remembered a TERRIFYING thing I found in a shop today. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech On a related note, can you imagine what an absolutely nightmare companion I am on a walk. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Evening all. More sunshine today. Found a borb with a silver lining. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Scenes from an afternoon walk in the sunshine, just because. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech #silentSunday #Scotland #waterfall npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Yay! I may have spent so long basically recreating the original image I couldn't be bothered to do much with it, but the Tooter Moves. At least it worked, & it's another tooter in the animation library :HumphStomp: npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech It's Friday! Yaaaaay! The Friday Dancers are earlier than usual, as frankly they have had enough of the working week & found a lovely mossy branch to swing their thing on. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Please excuse my self absorption in the midst of all this [gestures] but the Friday Dancers tomorrow will be produced in open source software and this is quite a Big Deal* npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Time to head to the land of dreams. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech There are times when you don't have much to say, but it's nice to be quiet with someone else npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech An important lesson for a young mossling is how it tastes. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Distracting myself by trying to work out if the tooters are humanoids wearing unusual clothing or if they all have oddly shaped bodies 🤔 npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Went back to check on the tree with the gelatinous blobs. Definitely only on a couple of small branches (on a very big tree) so based on information from the Tree People of Mastodon I am hopeful for its survival. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech *flump* npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Evening npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech A bit aimless again this evening, but I'm enjoying messing about with my weird wee tooters so this will have to do to say goodnight and wish you all sweet dreams 💤 npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech #silentSunday #lichenSubscribe npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech I have achieved nothing today.

Time doing nothing is important too. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech For the record, I had a very difficult decision to make with this one, as there was a certain appeal for it as a weird creature with visible brain too. I think I prefer the mysterious land though. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Hands up who knew you were going to see one of the gelatinous tree blobs again? npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Fairly sure this is week 135 of the Friday Dancers. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech It's Friday!

Found a tired and flumpy lichen. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech A bit aimless atm. Couldn't decide what to do so resorted to splatting colours in a blank file until something appeared. Ended up with a noble beast posing in the glow of the setting sun.

A bit at least. Enough for a remix. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech The @nprofile…72ar have a petition up at 38 Degrees demanding that the UK government reclaims control of our digital infrastructure. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech The elusive omnomnom lichen npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech #silentSunday #Scotland #mist npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Contemplating the upcoming New Year. npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech Not sure what's going on here (other than me clearing out my 'in progress' files in preparation for a new year). npub1ezufteclc09mtfmm8zgcnlhhr35mthyy49puwnv4rlakthm609es9u26v8 eclectech And here's the final collection for this year.
