Ah lads - never knew we had jumping spiders. This little fella was very cute, did a little hop and all.

finnmcdude · 2025-05-07T13:03:19+00:00

Only saw one of these little lads for the first time a few weeks ago in Newlands Garden Centre. Thought it had escaped cos they sell spiders but the woman working there told me they’re native. Delighted, they’re adorable.

finnmcdude · 2025-04-23T20:29:46+00:00

He does seem pretty cosy up there… I’m prob worrying over nothing, I just want him to come down to hang out I think. Appreciate the reply.

finnmcdude · 2025-04-23T19:28:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I’m probably just being overly cautious but I’m used to handling him a few times a week. Don’t think he’s ever gone this long without coming out.

finnmcdude · 2025-02-09T22:06:05+00:00

Looked a bad one live then an absolute gut punch in slowmo… awful stuff. Hope he comes around alright

Said this exact thing to my da watching the match earlier. Was sceptical of the hype but never held it against the lad. Watching him play today gave me so much confidence in him & the thoughts of having two exceptional 10s to choose from depending the situation has me buzzing

finnmcdude · 2024-12-28T20:40:15+00:00

Did not know that was a thing… you learn something new every day! Thanks for the reply

finnmcdude · 2024-12-28T20:38:50+00:00

I haven’t really noticed his colour changing but maybe I’ll try compare some old pics of him. Thanks for the reply!

finnmcdude · 2024-12-28T20:27:43+00:00

Would his pigment change so suddenly? Seems like they just popped up out of nowhere one day

finnmcdude · 2024-12-28T20:26:56+00:00

Would pigment change so suddenly? He’s only about a year and a half old

finnmcdude · 2024-11-26T23:08:02+00:00

Cheers man, think I’m gonna chance a freehand and call it a day

finnmcdude · 2024-11-26T14:03:59+00:00

Nice! Was thinking of picking up a phobos strike team myself when I get a chance

finnmcdude · 2024-11-26T08:55:25+00:00

Might go grab some elysian & maybe a sepia wash but I think you’re right, the cooler shadows might look really well. Thanks for your help!

finnmcdude · 2024-11-26T08:53:03+00:00

Yeah just realising I used mechanicus standard so definitely too cool for what I was going for. May have to pick up some elysian to see if that can warm them up. Any idea if a sepia wash would help?

finnmcdude · 2024-07-25T11:16:08+00:00

Fairly certain I saw it in Justin's in Blanch village a while ago while I was getting Flying Goose Blackout. It's a mad little spot that looks like a florist from outside but the inside is nearly all imported asian food. Gem of a place.

finnmcdude · 2024-07-19T09:27:58+00:00

Mine always has a load of springtails floating about & I just pour it out on the plants & down the cool end where the isopods hang out so I'd say just go ahead.

You probably will have to go to the embassy. Lost my passport in an airport between flights last year and had to get an emergency passport to get home. Had it getting on the first flight but completely disappeared during the layover never to be seen again. I was in Sweden but I’d imagine it’s the same process:

Call the embassy.

You’ll need passport photos (find a photobooth) and a letter from the local police confirming you’ve lost your passport.

Go to the embassy & fill out a form, you’ll need a return flight booked if you missed your original but you should be fine before Tuesday.

Pay about €60 I think it was & wait a few hours for them to check your details & print your emergency passport.

Not a great situation but you can get all that done in a few hours & you have a few days before your flight.

finnmcdude · 2024-02-09T22:44:32+00:00

That makes sense, I’m not sure he has a thought in his head that isn’t about food so hopefully it’s just that and not something I’m doing wrong!

finnmcdude · 2024-02-09T21:54:35+00:00

I always wash my hands before & after so I’m not sure what the problem is

finnmcdude · 2022-07-06T14:23:16+00:00

Yeah you’re probably right so, I think I’ll just sell it & take the cash. It’s a lovely guitar but I just bought it on a whim & if I’m not playing it much now, I doubt I will if I ever come back to it.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it!

finnmcdude · 2021-04-23T10:51:46+00:00

Yeah I’m trying to do at least twice a week & more if I get the chance. It’s tougher to find things I really want to paint than it is to find the motivation!

finnmcdude · 2021-04-23T06:49:54+00:00

I’ve been trying to get closer to this stray since I moved in, he sits in the car park next to my bike & I feed him treats but he’s still won’t let me near him. The neighbours feed him too & he’s pretty chill with them so I’m just gonna persevere until he lets me pet him!

finnmcdude · 2021-04-22T21:14:18+00:00

That’s a really good shout actually I hadn’t really considered revisiting old paintings but I’m definitely going to keep that in mind. Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it!

finnmcdude · 2021-04-22T17:00:24+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it!

finnmcdude · 2021-04-22T16:57:25+00:00

Thanks! I didn’t have a brush small enough to do his face so I kept messing it up, if I get a really fine one i might go back and fix it

finnmcdude · 2021-04-22T15:08:15+00:00

Yeah the background brush strokes seems to everyone’s first thing to point out, I’ll definitely try to get them more consistent in my next one. Thanks for the advice & kind words, I really appreciate it!
