Right, I've worked out I need about £1000 to cover everything in September, and about £200 to replace mattress/dispose of old one.

Sure, that's only 60 bundles, why not?

Anyone fancy a wallpaper or two?

Working on re-opening my main shop but it's taking time and I'm still very ill so putting this out there *before* rent is due.

38 days since it last rained in Southampton. For now, I'm just putting all the damp #TurtleOfCalm wallpapers in rotation, and keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm hoping I'll be well enough to head over there again in maybe September when things cool down, but for now, here's #TurtleOfCalm enjoying a trip to Portsmouth beach!

Still no rain in Southampton, but I'm hoping!

In the meantime, brighten up your desktop with a trip to the nature reserve with #TurtleOfCalm

Took this shot after a massive storm - temporary rivers all over the paths.

In case you missed it - Post Office doesn't seem to know what is going on with tariffs, so I've turned off Etsy orders to the US until it's sorted out - timeline unknown.

This means I'm baffled, broke, and it's my 40th birthday tomorrow.

I'm falling back on #TurtleOfCalm:

Brighten up your desktop or phone background with a tiny turtle or two.

This is one of my most popular wallpaper packs - 9 different wallpapers for $10:

(Looks like #TurtleOfCalm is going to need to keep the bills paid while I figure out the US shipping issues.)

Turtle might need to be covering rent while I work out the tariff situation. Here's a free taster, but there's plenty more to browse through.

Something from last summer - the Turtle of Calm out on a day trip to Weston Parade. That's not technically the sea, but no-one has told the water that.

This one is a freebie, so grab it now and brighten up your desktop.

So... panic stations, my laptop has stopped charging. The battery hadn’t even been an issue, maybe we got a power surge overnight in the heatwave?

But am now on emergency mode.

So if you would like a pendant: oishiny.etsy.com

Or wallpaper: ko-fi.com/turtleofcalm...

Now is a good time!
