Charity Scarf
UPDATE: The auctioned closed this evening with the scarf reaching £568! Well done for Cahonas Scotland on raising such a fab amount for your charity. Goddamn! These things ALWAYS hit at the wrong time! When his boots got auctioned off, I couldn’t bid. And now I doubt I’ll be able to bid on this, either….

Hurray For Scotland!
“They’ll be coming” – not exactly the three little words most people will get filled with an overriding sense of joy and the HUGEST avalanche of relief from but…you know…I think we’ve established I’m not “most people”.

Birdy Bonus

It’s a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of my Hunter And The Hunter digital art piece. How wonderful is that?! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you, Birdy! I love…
