Magpies.

Today, there were only around 6 of us partaking in lessons. The whole morning was filled with Darkroom antics with my favourite first year, and then I was left alone. I ate alone, developed alone, spoke alone and sat quietly alone. It was nice :)
I decided to take my alone time elsewhere, so I walked over to Worden. It was just lovely.
I sat with the ducks on the deck whilst I snipped at my prints, I sat on a bench and watched the dogs playing together and spoke to old men about their dogs.
Whilst I was walking there, Nicholas gave me a ring so I was feeling particularly friendly. It was lovely. An hour on the park with myself.

I get to annoy myself mostly. I think about silly things until I'm upset, but recently I have had nothing silly to think about. Or haven't let myself think about those things, so either way my good mood is safe :).

Tonight I am going to write a very striking essay on Richard Billingham and Tracey Emin, and have a brew with Nicholas. It should be warm because the park was very chilly, and I have a fire at home that I can snuggle up in front of.


Last night, in the bath, I spoke to Nicola Young! I am so glad to hear her voice again. She's nothing but a treat! :)




I only ever see the one magpie these days, but I don't feel it's bad luck. He's probably just looking for shiney things.
