About Chuck Close

The grid is back, filled in with lozenges and discs and painted dashes - tiny hamburger shapes, hotdog shapes, sperms and blips and squoinky ovoid donut shapes.

Blog Every Day in August #31: I failed but what the heck.

I've returned home from 5 magnificent days in London with my parents and James.
We saw Hazel perform at the Royal Albert Hall.
The Wizard of Oz, Wicked, Potted Potter and loads of exhibitions and galleries.
I'm pretty much exhausted.

It was fantastic and I'm so very very lucky.

Blog Every Day in August #23&24

So, yesterday went by rather quickly. We went out for a lovely meal at a farm shop. I had a steak sandwich of mighty proportions and it was delicious.

After a short afternoon nap and a quick walk around the nearby area it was somehow tea time.

Haze showed us her wonderful photos of her Bavaria trip and we watched the Great British Bake Off.

It's now Wednesday afternoon, magically.
This morning Hazel, James and I walked into town so Haze could meet one of her friends and return some items that she'd ended up with by accident after the trip. We were just browsing and a little bit looking for some ink to do finger prints with. That was a bit of a redundant search though.

We took sandwiches up to the park and we were chased off the swings by wasps.

I'm not going to wear my lovely leather boots in London, I've decided. My feet hurt a bit now because they don't provide much cushioning.

I was told as I walked through the door just now that my Great Uncle Carl has died. My thoughts are with my Auntie Irene and everyone else who knew him.

Blog Every Day in August #22

I could have guessed in advance I'd have forgotten to write a proper blog on the right day the day James turns up after not seeing him for 3 weeks.

There was one point where I said "don't let me forget to write a blog" but then I forgot anyway.

The thing is, I will not be writing these when I'm in London now, most likely. Hazel's accommodation is sorted so we won't have to do that then.

I'm not actually sure what we'll do today but I'll try to write up about it tonight.

Blog Every Day in August #21

We did spend the entire day sorting behind the sofa.
We have done a good job and I am proud of us all.

Now that's all I have to say and it's odd but today has been mentally exhausting.

JAMES COMES TOMORROW!

Yesssssssssssss.

Blog Every Day in August #20

The rain sounds delicious on my slanted window; really soothing.

My room is nearly entirely sorted. It's a relief and rather calming too.

Today I worked on it and that was about it, talked to James a fair bit and went on a walk to see my Nana with Mum and picked up some windfall apples.

I found my first library card in with some first year art work. That made me happy.

I'm quite tired and tomorrow we're going to tackle "behind the sofa" and hopefully I'll find my Emma Watson signature and my swimming badges to go on my camp blanket.

:)

So long.

Blog Every Day in August #19

Just got woken up with a reminder to post a blog.

Today I put nearly 500 brochures about the Durham Book Festival into envelopes, sealed them and put address stickers on them and then I wrote about paintings and mining.

This afternoon I got frustrated and worked with my parents to clear out and sort things that exist in my bedroom.

That is all I can tell you, I'm going back to bed.
