Roman all over the place…
Looking at a copy of the last supper, I was attracted to the classical feet of the disciples, and the host himself. I looked at all of them and they appear identical. That’s classical training for you.
“In the classical view, the great toe is separated from the second, the middle three toes are parallel but diverge 30 degrees from the axis of the foot, and the fifth toe is in adductovarus. (Podiatry Today, 2010).
Modern feet. (Shod).
Close to my phone…
“Having a bunch of cats around is good. If you're feeling bad, just look at the cats, you'll feel better, because they know that everything is, just as it is.” – Charles Bukowski, On Cats.
That’s why he’s on my phone.
Armin Greder's latest picture book…
Armin Greder’s confronting new picture book Voi (published by Orrechio Acerbo) arrived in the country. Safe and sound. It was thoughtfully accompanied by an English translation, though the illustrations are loud and clear.
The Museum closes at 5pm. No exceptions…
“This wasn't a strange place; it was a new one.”

Misnomer madness…
After going to the trouble of transferring the beans to their own jar, (because they were melting in a packet) I completely ruined the label.
A tree is a tree is a tree…
“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.“— Carl Sagan

Grey with chance of rainbows…
A fine book launch for Laura Dockerill and Lauren Child’s picture book GREY at Battersea Bookshop. A good time was had by all, with impressive words from the authors and even a book reading by the writer.
