Let me share with you a story. We went to see a matinee showing of a kids film at @hbpicturehouse only to have a trailer for the new James bond come up. As quickly as my kids looked away they still saw the terrifying mask with blood coming from behind it. A week later they are still waking up with bad dreams.

We attempted another matinée at @reelcinemasuk and in the foyer the same advert came on. My youngest was so scared that when we sat in the cinema he screamed and hid his head in fear of another scary thing happening when we were still at the adverts for covid measures and mobile phones. Humphrey asked to leave before the start.

So I am left wondering how we actually protect our children from seeing things that traumatise them and what, if anything the @bbfc_ageratings thinks about trailers ? And do the cinema have any say in trailers or are there obligations to play certain ones like radio 1 breakfast show music

2 years ago I had to ask at @calderdalelibraries to swap the horror movies with scary pictures higher up instead of eye hight with toddlers right by where wee queue to check out books.

Am I alone in this as a parent? Surely I am not the only parent with sensitive children?

You know that feeling when you feel like you are in the cusp of lots of things. I am deep deep in that cusp. Maybe I am the cusp?

I am celebrating wins today. I am interviewing one of my heroes tomorrow for season 2 of Brew &A Biscuit podcast @beforeandagain_

I found a piece of software that will make designing embroidery kits so much faster.

I have yet more fabric samples coming.

I did a talk in organising time for @thetribecoworks last night

I sold 2 more creative meditation courses (Link in bio)

I am going to the seaside on Thursday.

I listened to the bats last night.

Tell me about good things from this week.

So England has woken up to yet another daft slogan

So England has woken up to yet another daft slogan from the government Freedom Day 🙄

Instead of utter dichotomy, something I have feared since the announcement and already see online let's try something new. If you see someone with a mask don't call them "sheeple" instead think I understand that person has had fear from the media for nearly 2 years of course they feel unsafe and I have no clue about their medical circumstances.

If you see someone without a mask do not call them selfish and stupid think I have no idea what they have been through for the last 18months perhaps wearing a socially profiling badge has made them feel awful. Perhaps they were not exempt but found masks really hard.

If you want to ask someone to keep their distance do so with polite kindness. If you are asked to move away or consider someone else do so with kindness.

We cannot control how others behave but we can control ourselves. I intend to move through this in a kind considerate way and try to respond to individuals needs and desires. Even if someone is rude to you you can still respond politely.

I was not intending to post today but yesterday I spent a lovely afternoon with Sebastian. We went to a charity shop for the first time in a year and a bit and bought a compendium of games.

We played chess in a cafe in the sunshine.

We visited 2 of my besties at their open studios @juliaogdenart and @hannahnunnstudio. Since Hannah started to experiment with the little laser cuts I knew I wanted some. Then they became a product and I was spoilt for choice so yesterday I made her choose.

I am so happy with them. After endless holding and admiring I hung them in my studios and promptly started to photograph the shadows. I have found my new procrastination activity.

Hello rainy weekend you cannot bring me down now

what is my new concept store?. completely evident that live is not my skill set but I need to just rip off the band aid and just say what I am doing and going live forces your hand that way.
