I ought to develop this theme perhaps. Possibly I could make shadow puppets for some of my pieces with little scripts for plays.
I didn’t mention that I am letting the printer cartridges run out until I need to print something in colour. The magenta has gone as you can see!
The View From Bridport published our press release. Thank you guys.
I am not feeling very well again today but am trying to ignore it, except that I did my #Letter365 for today as one of my first jobs just in case I wasn’t up to it later. And I have to say I am very pleased with the piece I made. Not that I am not happy with all the pieces I am putting forward in #Letter365 – they all have to pass the “would I have it on my wall” test as a very minimum! But some days I think that maybe I should reconsider my intention to destroy, unseen, any pieces that haven’t sold at the end of the exhibition.
Anyway, having got the piece ready I decided I would post it rather than deliver it by hand. When I got to the Post Office there were two shiny red post vans and there had been a collection (they don’t tell you the times any more in case they can’t be bothered some days I suppose). The postie who had emptied the box readily offered to take my #Letter365 and, slightly more reluctantly, agreed to have her picture taken. I think you will all agree it’s a pleasant change when I can feature smiling people rather than just a post box!
Thing is I now find myself in a quandary. I have previously been refering to “postmen” and have today used “postie” as a non gender-specific term as the person who took my letter is clearly female. Should I refer to her as “postwoman” or change all future references to postal operatives to “postie”. I am not a great lover of shortened names and terms, though “postie” does have a friendly nature to it. What do you think?
I thought about calling this post “Letter The Right One In” as a play on words with the film I saw this morning. I am glad i didn’t. I’m actually not feeling very well so I have nothing else to say apart from the fact that I have posted No27.
I had hoped to finish my #Letter365 piece for today early enough to deliver it to the Arts Centre before the first film of From Page To Screen, Bridport’s film festival. Alas, while I have finished the piece I haven’t the time to do the envelope and photography in a stress-free way before I have to go.
So I’m off to see Let The Right One In
I don’t mean the evidence that shadow rabbits can hold credit cards between their ear and nose (see picture) but the evidence that the post box day plate for Tuesday has been “mislaid”. It hasn’t been there the last few weeks and MON is displayed on Tuesday. That’s why all the people in Bradpole look confused! Well, one of the reasons.
I got very frustrated creating the envelope for this one. For some reason the printer would not recognise the settings set up for this particular document – the ones it has used for the previous 25 days – and chose to use the settings for the other documents that were open!
