Well – it’s been a full on week! The queer art and craft market was an absolute delight, and I can’t thank the stall holders enough for their loveliness, and amazing skills. We also go our Kids Book funded! (you still have a week left to preorder, and if we reach the stretch goal they’ll be translating two of the books!)

Also – here’s the ukulele chords for my re-writing of Jingle Bell Rock (please record yourselves, I’d love to hear it!!)
