 Carrying on carrying on though this'll have to have some serious attention soon.

Been knocked rather more than slightly by the surprising news that I need stents around my heart. The silence of the surgeon I had misinterpreted - but clearly there's no urgency since the issues were photographed in December. Awaiting dates now.

It's all very normal, it seems. Seems deeply unnormal to me, but hey -

Quite like the direction that Irene and Flamingo is going though the Ascension is still a mess... in the meantime the maths book has been addressed by co-authors and I must find my original drawings (?Where did I store them) and adapt where necessary. Will leave till the beginning of March. We're overnighting in Collioure for 2/3rd and the plan is to come back knowing what I'm doing, hahahha

 Despite lack of documentation, pressing happily on.... ascent of the blessed, Irene singing healing song to a flamingo, a small lamb. Liking painting.

Also finished little book, 50 sayings and sources from Stafford. 

Energy seems rather good despite a. hip b. shoulder c. ankles.

Moved on a lot since I took this snap... enjoying this, put in lions for Bill.

 Started another pic and flummoxed already. Notable fear of finishing something assuaged by having something interesting to move onto to but spending studio time staring at inept sketches... still, Bob back today so unlikely to be doing anything for a while.
