And
just like that, my life is transformed again. Emirates flying pretty much on
schedule. Half empty airport, half empty flight. Seems like most everyone I
know blames Trump. Sorry to differ, but the IRGC is the greater culprit in my
book.
So much for politics. The flight was fine but I
took a day or so to come round, then there was the unpacking. This morning was
more active. Walked around the park and into town. My sense of the seasons will
need to be relearned. A bit of a surprise how many trees are still bare of
leaves.
Dropped by the library and spotted this sketching
group. Who knows?
Nice
75th birthday present today. All my air freight came in two separate
deliveries. I had to bring the little guitar amp on the flight with me. Some
kind of rule 👀
It's all unpacked now and provisionally spread
around my small flat. The small Lowry print belonged to my dad and the little
framed etching is by him I think.
The wooden plough plane has been in my possession
for about 50 years. Came with a set of blades of different sizes but I no
longer have these. All the same, like many of the items I shipped it has
sentimental value.
I managed to put a bit of time in on my Borromini model
today. In between walking in the park with my hearing aid on. Birdsong returns
to my world.
I'm working on the courtyard. Curved re-entrant corners and arches between
paired columns. The Baroque feeling is very subtle and underplayed, but it's
there sure enough.
The columns in my model are generic. I will customise them to the project in
due course. Hopefully I can take this work far enough to set up one or two
sheets that convey the essence successfully.
Watching Cranford on Netflix. BBC historical dramas were
still a thing of beauty in 2007. You can see the wokery starting to creep in,
but not enough to spoil the genuine artistry.
Judy Dench who I saw playing Shakespeare at Stratford when I was still a
teenager. Sixty years ago near enough. When I had no inkling of wandering the
world for 45 years before returning to embrace my Englishness.
The pic is Basingstoke market square with statue of Jane Austen. Seems she was
very small. Nice chunky tuscan columns in the sunlight.
