mmhmmm
I've been working today on putting together some notes for the presentation I have to make to the other PhD candidates. It's gone quite well today, with the notes completed and looking mad and scribbled in my super-bland Muji notebook. I put today's success down to writing my preliminary notes outside on North Street, having a cappuccino at the local fancy-foods store, sipping every time I have a bit of a mental disfluency. I also loaded up on veg this morning, meaning I've just had a late lunch of plum tomatoes and cucumber on a three-seeded loaf, which was right good.
Illustration Friday is a site where every week a topic is nominated and people post their responses. In line with my current efforts to keep the pictures flowing, I posted to it today, on the subject of "Sport", my contribution featuring a cricketer menaced by a robotic wicket keeper.
Also started using the podcasts bit on iTunes 4.9, listening to Momus arguing with his ex-wife and visiting galleries and stores in NY, and various other things.

making book
Decided to use up a tiny linen sample I had, to make a book. I still need to make and bind the bookblock. I was thinking about a multi-section kettle stitch. I have more samples like this, and I bet they'd make a lovely set of mini-books. I also keep threatening to use a much-loved shirt which is long past its best to cover a book, this keeping something of it with me.
I'm away for a couple of days now. Might blog Sunday night though.
