The grave of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, in All Saints Church, Birchington. There are often small tributes left for him, like the owl and pebbles. Yesterday I met a couple who had made a trip especially to visit the grave and see the stained glass window in his memory. They had previously come twenty-seven years ago.

Progress
- EDS, EDS-VOTE, EDSD - Everything going well here, massive increase in delegations to @eds-vote, lots from Saturday Savers which is fabulous to see. We've also set up a curation trail for eds-vote which supports Savers so a nice circular economy. I'm buying EDSD wihh my earnings from my side-hustle and posting. (More about side-hustles).

What's New
What with one side hustle and another, I'm back on top of my finances (anything to do with houses always seems to go over budget) and have started planning the next eighteen months - both side hustles and cashflow. My plan to start my arts foundation course in September may have to be delayed for a year, but that's okay.
I'm kind of pleased InLeo is rowing back a bit in some areas. Saves me fretting about posting from InLeo and threading for the moment. I can concentrate on other things.
Have a good week everyone!
