As a child I could often be found in the living room studying the Yellow pages. My natural inclination has always been to gather information – any information – stuff about plumbers; electricians; piano tuners; and even astroturf. When I grew up the internet came along and I found myself lost in a vast vat of Yellow pages – a veritable walk-in wardrobe of cobblers…

Well, that all sounds a bit peculiar. This is because I have lost the last 5,623 words of this post and I can’t be bothered to type them out again – especially the morose bit about feeling like an unwanted dog at a rescue centre.

Crikey, the gist of it was that I spend too much time fannying about on the internet to get anything done, and I have lost opportunities because of this – AND that I feel sad about all of that. And I regret all the time I have wasted reading about stuff that really is none of my concern.
However – I DO NOT REGRET BLOGGING!!! I mean the random surfing stuff.

Right, that’ll do. I really DO have OTHER STUFF to get on with. AND, be very grateful that those 5,623 whining words were lost as you might have been tempted to read them.

My most recent collage:-

I so want to make more collages with calligraphy….
This is the first bit of gilding I’ve done for a few years, I think. It’s a bit rough around the edges as it was an experiment to find out if I could gild on to any sort of paper – yes I can!

Do you know what I often feel glum about? Those loopy letters that I never sent. I failed. Maybe I will still send something to the addresses I have – though some of you have probably moved – which could be interesting!

More tomorrow.
