Jan 2nd
Oh for fuck's sake I just deleted a great long entry (well, it was long, it might not have been great) while trying to upload a photo.
I can't write it all again. There were three parts.
The first was about my brother whose birthday would have been today. I put his photo on Sam's table and lit a candle to him. I wrote quite a lot about him but can't do it again.
The second was about helping my pal move stuff out of a storage unit:
and there was some about this new project I'm doing, 64 million artists, where you get a short, quick, creative task every day - I think the name is from the population of the UK, implying we could all be artists. Today's task was to spend no more than 5-10 minutes making something lovely then leaving it where someone else would find it. I made a quick postcard painting and left it in the bus shelter down the road:
On the back it said: This is for a creative project. If you've found it and you like it, it's yours! Happy new year.
When I drove past later, it had gone. It made me feel happy.
Today I am grateful for: a walk with Daughter; an artistic task; a message from SIL; curry for dinner (tarka dhal, aloo gobi and tandoori chicken, starter size portion); art group in the morning (yay!)
