Friday 27th November

Tonight I'm going to the Rose and Crown pub to see if any of my informal invitations have been accepted to meet up for a chat by creatives who have contacted me through the "Intraweb."  Afterwards I shall make my first visit to a creative event held by the E17 Designers.  I'm looking forward to it, but first I have brave the nightmare of Friday afternoon Christmas hopping, and somehow get a new fireplace home by carrying it on my shoulder.

For some reason I always like to physically carry things home rather than always rely upon transport.  The more difficult the journey, physically or mentally in carrying all manner of objects home, always provides me with an interesting anecdote, and when I finally arrive home and install whatever it is, it always fills me with a sense of achievement akin almost to a spiritual experience.  If you can't people across rivers on your shoulder anymore, you may as well recover discarded objects that still have use, and carrying them and their past lives to pastures new.

Every object has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.
