I've been up in Sheffield for the last 4 days for the Swim England Winter National Championships. One thing that really struck me was how theatrical the whole thing was; the stands were in relative darkness compared to the pool, which was very well lit - it was like being at a theatre. They also had disco lights for the finals which was quite cool. It doesn't come across very well on camera but here are some photos anyway:
We also went for a bit of a drive into the Peak District, and I took some photos, most of which were very very blurry. Here's the least blurry one:
Overall ‘twas a very successful weekend of racing.
It always amazes me how really nice people can turn out to be really horrible about certain groups of people
adding shadows makes a massive difference… but perhaps I overdid the contrast slightly?
apparently i can remember enough from my year 8 art lessons (4 years ago!!) to draw a somewhat in-proportion humanoid figure! in fact it’s far better than anything i ever produced then :P
although the arms are a bit wonky…
just ignore the hands and feet (unless you have any advice for making them better) :)

wouldn't it be really awful if we lived in a world where a lot of people didn't know the difference between gender and sexuality and were highly offended by the use of the correct term meaning that their gender aligns with their assigned sex at birth, when their gender did in fact align with their assigned sex at birth!!!!!!!!!!!! and wouldn't it be even worse if influential idiots decided to publicly announce this ‘fact’ on a social media that they own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank goodness that's not the case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my school got a new (digital) piano today and it's really fantastic, the sounds it makes are incredible
it was donated by a former member of the BBC Singers so it's very professional - it’s so fancy that it doesn't use a kettle lead for the power supply!
I'm now getting to the point in my life where I'm actually having to put some effort in at school
kind of sad that I can’t just do well without too much work, but it’s definitely a good thing
@imadeanaccount has done a cracking job here, I look forward to the raw data being released and for more studies in the future!
