Someone's been eating MY painting

 

An update on those propogations. Well it's kinda working, room for refinement. Thing is, I've forgotten why I was doing this in particular, and what I thought I might do with them... if I ever knew in the first place?  People who live with cats will recognise this as as a "losing your mouse behind the fridge" activity. And no bother at all, the important thing being to stare at the fridge itself for hours.

just because I can't see it doesn't mean it's not there...

This is from one of the boring dusty-looking slides I've been growing. Lovely dust! And covered in all kinds of Diversity!

I'm besotted with the beauty and charm of the tiny diatoms. I bet they taste nice. I bet they are juicy-fresh-tasting and sugary-salty like a lovely cucumber salad in a delicious crispy coat. Now surely any mollusc would fancy snacking on that for a light starter.

Still, not much use for my purposes. Perhaps it's time to raid the Winogradsky column...
