Four throwing knives, three nunchuks, two blow guns; and a rabbit that may weeeell kill youuuuu.

On a side note: I googled this AFTER drawing, and ninja rabbits seem to be a trope? The internet is lovely sometimes.

My housemate is looking for her favourite spoon. I hadn’t seen it so she has now drawn it on our noticeboard, asking if anyone can find it. It does not appear to have any distinguishing features.

Perhaps you can help?

So I am told that thermophilic bacteria are fond of hot-tubs filled with acid, which seems unreasonable. Perhaps they just like thermal clothing?

This doodle is dedicated to anyone who should be studying DNA helicase but is, in fact, reading a bad romance novel (it doesn’t count if you’re doing it standing!). Serious-minded alien sidekick is optional.

This is to all the trees out there that *aren’t* Christmas trees: you’re beautiful too!

When people tell me to imagine I am holding a ball of energy (admittedly not often!) I like to imagine a glowy spherical cat instead.

So it’s definitely heading towards that time of the year, and what says Christmas better than Mary&baby riding a plesiosaur?*

Well, a certain saboteur of all my life’s ambitions says Santa Claus, on the basis that this would simplify my colour scheme a thousandfold so that I might actually be able to finish the wretched thing, rather than having to post aborted attempts and spending fruitless hours upon hours on a single doodle. But my heart is set on Mary, so somehow I must find a way to reconcile all the Mary-blue with the Christmas-red-and -green; or decide if a red-and-green Mary would still be recognisable as such; or some other solution that evades me just now. And if I draw Santa riding a plesiosaur after this, I still maintain Mary is better. So there.

*Yes yes, just like Hildgeard of Bingen doing the same means Thanksgiving, I have shamelessly recycled from a previous doodle, but not many people know her and I really like this image! In principle. When the colours work.

Something to remember for this time of year: umbrellas are awesome! And won’t try to eat you. Usually.
