It's thundering and raining here, but at least the village hasn't been washed away; the news is full of reports from Boscastle, a beautiful little place on the north coast, that's was devastated yesterday by flash flooding. I keep trying to spy the Witchcraft Museum, which is located in the harbour, well I hope it's still there...
I reserved the latest Morrissey album at the library last week, went in to give back another cd (by Muse - very bombastic and prog-rocky in places but quite entertaining) and they tried to get more money out of me for the reservation than they charge for lending a cd, so I told them to poke it. I am looking forward to hearing the album at some point, though.
Oh, and I did some fixing of the car this afternoon in the pouring rain. In my vest top and baseball cap. Need I say more??

Again, a short report. I've been spending a lot of time looking out over the Bay. Daytime sees all kind of ships and little boats bobbing around, night time it's usually just the coastguard ship lighting up the water, on a clearer night with the moon overhead too. Yesterday the coastguard disappeared in the morning fog, so there was complete darkness over the sea. We imagined it as a void and freaked outselves out for a while. It was fun.
I've been working on my blurb for the exhibition. 'A Crooked Mile' seems to be favourite for the title. I'm off now to check prices for enlargements and laminating. Later - hopefully baby rabbit watching at my sister's.
I love everybody today (except the elderly man who poked me *hard* in the back in the Post Office the other day. Wow, did I growl at him!!).

Ok, well I just got my first photographic exhibition sorted out - it's at the Yam Parlour from September 6. To say I'm chuffed is a bit of an understatement; I think I'm fabulous. It's going to cost a fortune to enlarge and frame the pics (9 or 10), so I hope I can sell some, but I'm not going to worry about that now.
Check out the 24 Hour Museum, in particular the review of Roshini Kempadoo's retrospective. I'd never heard of her before, but she does political art. Good political art, that is, that packs a punch.
