now that G and Joe have shown me all the groovy adverts for the olympus pen, i feel that i want a better camera or at least to understand how mine works (and it's only a point and poke).

tried to keep myself focused on a funding application. grafted through it but i'm nearly, nearly there. sitting in the cafe made it much more painless. am beginning to feel that it would be good to have a working space away from home. maybe i can set up office in the cafe - an hour and a half for the price of a cuppa and some very good salmon soup wasn't bad.

sp walked with me and put my head in a good place.

feeling a wee bit like all the important people are missing today

but i know they'll be back
