A list of good things that have happened to cheer me up.
1. I've been invited to talk at the AIR open dialogues in Sheffield. A great opportunity. For me, words always flow better as written text, than when they come out of my mouth, but I'll give it a shot.
2. I've decided that my luxury item on my desert island would be a pair of robins, perfectly adapted to the climate, but outwardly identical to British robins. It's been worrying me for years that I couldn't think of a luxury that I would actually want.
3. I'm working on an artist's book to document the work produced during my ACE funded R&D year – working with a really good designer, Adrian Riley from Electric Angel
4. My secret about the cleaner is out in the open. phew.
5. I've decided to make more time for networking in West Yorkshire – we've lived here nearly a year, and I do really like it, but need to be more 'part of it'.
6. I'm going to Venice Bienale – partner bought flights as a surprise Valentine gift. Not bad eh?
7. the days are lighter, the sun shines a bit more now, which makes everything a bit more cheery.
