It’s amazing how quickly life gets in the way – now i’m back at college time has shrunk again, particularly given the proximity of the Yardsale – yes, it’s finally happening at unit 26 Queens Square, West Bromwich, with more details available here. Given it’s proximity to halloween we’re going for that kind of theme,…

various thoughts…
It’s properly autumn now. I’ve had the sniffles and coldsore to prove it, it’s chillier, i’m thinking about warm coats rather than nice ones. It’s my favourite time of year. When I was a kid it was mainly because i knew my birthday was coming up, which thanks to my eccentric parents usually meant a short…
just another little bit of history repeated
With summer comes the time for the long postponed tidy, including clearing out a cupboard i wasn’t looking forward to. Anyway, i found an old toy knitting machine of mine; I remember I got this after my nan had the full scale version. sadly the original instructions are lost, but i’m working it out again with the…
Happy Snapper
My goodness, it’s obvious that i overindulged in the world of blog – what with final projects, abject mutoscopes and essays I’ve had no time over the past month to put up an entry… Ahh well, this one will be a biggie. On the upside – I passed my HNC! one merit, the rest distinctions…

shenanigans, detergent & the glowing hand scene
It’s been half term, and the big clean that i’ve been planning to do for about 7 years finally occurred this week – with help from some friends. I also managed to get a bunch of personal shit done, but that’s all terribly dull. Suffice to say over 20 bin bags of crap have left…
School Trip to Euskadi
Well, I finally got to see a tiny bit of the world – the college organised a trip to Bilbao, with a day trip to San Sebastian. I’ve never eaten so much fish! Tapas rocks, my thighs ache from the many many steps and my passport will certainly get a lot more use. I missed everybody though,…
I Always wanted to be a Model
The Winter Show, Labour and Craftsmanship, is approaching terribly rapidly – I’ve decided to go for the re-creation of Kerouac’s desk, with the scroll i typed from my notebooks (well over sixteen feet!)looped around the back and curling up in the final version of Moriaty’s paper suitcase.I ordered the wood I’ll need from the timberyard,…
