vital functions
Aug. 25th, 2019 10:58 pmReading. ( Bridget Collins, Genevieve Cogman )
Up next: I've got, variously, in hardcopy, Trans Mission and Peter Ackroyd's London Under (Oakwood book exchange), Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun (charity shop), Shaun Tan's Tales from Outer Suburbia (on loan from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sebastienne) and Tales from the Inner City (which I bought in December last year and still need to settle down to). But it's also fairly likely that, as I'm in transit a fair bit over the first half of the week, that I'll just get the next Cogman out of the library via the magic of the Internet.
Watching. ( The Blue Planet, Elementary )
Cooking. There was a lot on the list for this week - vanilla ice cream, maybe get my act together to make some wafers, lemon curd??? - but in fact I've ended up barely cooking at all, because everything has just been Very. I am as yet (currently on the M25) undecided as to whether I'll be prepping the dry ingredients for soda bread tonight (to bake for breakfast tomorrow) or if I'll just do all of it tomorrow morning.
Exploring. Relatively little exploring; this week has been spent mostly In Lab, Recovering From Lab, or Helping B Pack. However! Freecycle has been exceeding kind, providing An Embarrassment Of Moving Boxes and also an all-in-one printer.
Creating. I very cautiously curled up on the sofa, in the middle of my wretched PIP appeal write-up, while getting A to look it over, with my new pad of watercolour paper and my new watercolour pencils and a ramekin of water and my brushes, and put myself together test swatches of all the fancy pencils. I have some Extremely Tentative Ideas about how to achieve Crassula arborescens, and might actually mess around with them some more in slightly more earnest this week, depending.
I have Thoughts on Art As Vulnerability that I need to poke at as and when I get around to writing up Daring Greatly, I think.
