got to spend the morning with richard, listening to good music, drinking tea and eating my biscuits and a bit of amazing apple tart / pie. made a new cube today, so that is three currently on the go. polished one from yesterday, but the other one was a bit damp, so i just focused on the one which was dry enough to work on. polished it up all lovely. it was so smooth and nice. it was very meditative and calming. then i came home and baked some pinwheel vanilla and coffee biscuits. which was ok. the dough was a total fucking nightmare though. then i cooked some kedgery for tea. which was ok. the eggs drove me to distraction and poaching the haddock made me stink of fish, which was brilliant. so then i went and wriggled about underwater in a deep bath in the dark listening to really loud mellow music and then it was suddenly half ten. i painted some boxes for the new project and did a tiny bit of ink work on a painting that i've been working on for over a month and will never be good enough to justify the time i've spent working on it but it's been a very positive bit of painting work. then i thought long and hard about doing a drawing of mary berry fighting delia smith. mary berry would win. but then i thought that would be a bit weird to draw. so then i thought about drawing me under water in the bath with little bird feet eyes. which i still want to do. but i can picture it so well in my brain that it feels like i've already done it.

i think this was a hairy caterpillar. it moved a bit, but then i walk about a bit and forgot about it. in hindsight i could have used it as a mustache. but technically that would be caterpillar molestation.
this pissed me off so much that i wanted to sling a chicken off a cliff to teach egg-kind a lesson.
this dude is your best friend if you smell like smoked haddock

here are some doughs i made earlier. with their ridiculous apposing textures.
they look like little ears.
this is when i got convinced that they weren't going to work, because they didn't rise or expand at all really.
the finished biscuits. that i had with ice cream and home made toffee sauce.
stupid eggs.
this turned out pretty delicious actually. i had it with garden peas.
the mysterious project. (don't think of this as a build up, or you will be so underwhelmed that you'll just have to sling a chicken off a cliff to perk yourself up again)
