Since we last met I've been doing various things...
I have visited (too briefly) the brilliantly inspiring Grayson Perry
exhibition at the British Museum. It was brilliant, I would love to go again... don't miss it if you are passing through London.
I am reading
Journal of a Solitude by May Sarton and am just about to start
Wolf Hall.
I have joined a new choir and we are singing Vivaldi's Gloria and lots of lovely Christmassy music.
I have bought an easel and have begun to experiment with painting standing up. I love the sense of freedom and energy in the body when working this way.
I have been enjoying looking at the still lifes of John Bellany and the work of Janet Melrose:

I have also reached a hundred followers, which is lovely, and as a thank you I have a few bits and bobs from last years mouse winter shop that need a home... just leave a comment whether you are a follower or not and I will select three or four winners at random on Sunday evening.
I wish I could tell you the maker of the beautiful ceramic work at the top of the post... but I've forgotten... sorry.
