Hi @writingcommunity! Question for a concept I'm playing with: Imagine you have one dollar (/franc/pound) to spend on something that will make a difference to yourself, someone else, or the world. What do you do with it? 🤔 Thanks for your thoughts! – at Geneva, Switzerland

Day 2 in Provence: Google Maps took us on an adventure through vineyards and scrubland as we searched for Château Gassier winery. (Seriously, Googs, what were you thinking?) It was totally worth it, as we were rewarded with tastings and a private picnic overlooking the grapes 🍇
Day 1 in Provence: Our Airbnb is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and picturesque architecture, including this 😉 – at Puyloubier, France

Because snail mail is the best, I made these postcards for my school, whose logo is based on this #Swedish classic. The MC is turned into a gnome and flies around Sweden on the back of the family's goose. Download the free #colouring page here: bit.ly/3diaapp

What do you call a four-legged octopus? A quadropus, of course! Pascal loves lending a hand but when he starts losing his limbs, will he give up or will he realise that this time, he’s the one who needs a hand? #PBPitch

I got a tooth removed last week. Which means I've spent a week thinking about all the (smarter?) animals that wouldn't tolerate such treatment #illustration #dentistry – at Rothrist, Schweiz

I see many friends sharing books about racism & police brutality right now, and these are incredibly important. But if you're a teacher or librarian, please also share books about Black joy with your kids. That's important, too. This new series is one of my favorites...

This long weekend, you won't find me in Barcelona, as planned, but I'm pretty happy to be on the balcony with my hedgehog mug, some book pages to finish, some commissions to start, and some geraniums that most definitely grew themselves. What are you up to?

What kind of hats do penguins wear? ... ... ... ICE CAPS! 🤣🤣🤣 (I think this joke is pretty good, considering I was taught it by a 5-year-old.) – at Geneva, Switzerland
My mum mentioned that she had been keeping some seedlings warm in the back of her car during a cold spell. Here's a wip of how I imagine her 'carden' – at Geneva, Switzerland
