Nothing much is going on.
It was raining when I left the house this morning; it made me both happy and sad. Happy because it actually came as a surprise that it was raining which in turn made me realise and recollect on how nice the weather has been recently. Bad because it was pissing down with rain and I was going to get wet feet and trousers, and it almost definitely meant that the sun had disappeared for good.
Mondays suck. I had wet feet and trousers. The vast quantities of alcohol I drank over the weekend were not apparently content to rob me of sleep, suck the moisture from my face, leave my liver aching like a kicked testicle, no, it had to go that one step too far and make me think that going to work dressed like a 1980’s car salesman was a good idea.
Anyway, on Saturday I met a pig at the City Farm in St Werburghs. He was a nice chap.
And today I remembered an illustrator whose work I saw and liked very much; his name is Ben Aslett and below is his picture of a bird. His website is www.benaslett.co.uk. I like animals, even on Mondays.
Also the collected Found Songs by Olafar Arnalds is now available to download for free; I like this on a Monday too. http://foundsongs.erasedtapes.com/
