That Book…

Long Room Interior, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland - Diliff
People flock in, nevertheless, in search of answers to those questions only librarians are considered to be able to answer, such as “Is this the laundry?” “How do you spell surreptitious?” and, on a regular basis, “Do you have a book I remember reading once? It had a red cover and it turned out they were twins.”
Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

That Book You Can’t Remember

Have you ever wanted to find a copy of a book you used to know, but you can’t remember the title, or the author? Book red; question marksWhat do you remember about it? And are you still looking?

Myself, I’d like to find a copy of the vintage children’s craft book we used to have when I was a kid. Can’t remember the title, the author, the cover… just some of the projects inside. A toy lamb with coathangers stiffening its legs, a set of simple garden tools…

Gargoyle Chip Report XIV

I have made a tiny amount of progress on the rose quilt. Alas, very little, in the grand scheme of things.

2.2.17 Dubrovnik 3 Gargoyles 02 (31248924353)Is it just me, or is this ‘ere gargoyle the Cheshire-Cat, halfway through a disappear? There’s a good gargoyley lesson: keep smiling, whatever else disappears (e.g. the rest of the year).

But given all the other crazy that’s been going on around here (remind me to tell you the Saga of the Dripping Tap sometime) I’m not planning on beating myself up about my lack of astounding progress.

In fact, I might take the tap as another lesson for the week: if you keep on making your tiny drops of progress, it’ll all add up and eventually something will happen. Although hopefully it won’t be someone taking my head off with a screwdriver and pliers.

How about you?
