what you left me with

This has housed books, CDs, and DVDs most agreeably for three months, but is now empty; perhaps it will be redeployed in another way after you get here; perhaps not.

Time for dinner at the Waterhouse, where I indulged in “Grilled Cornish sardines w/ safsouf, lemon and peppers“, and a glass of Pinot Grigiot.

 

some new perspectives

There’s some strategic decision making needed about what needs to come out, what needs to stay boxed, & how to organize the boxes; I started on that a little this evening; overall I’m feeling very pleased all this “stuff” is here, and the “London arrival” will be one step further advanced next Monday morning.

three studies

Home confinement results in another set of artful compositions.
