My fingers are for working

[rhyll]

Yesterday I went home early, and made map-origamis, wrote little stories, tended to my garlic and compost, and read some words from real paper pages. I met up with delightful people for dinner, and then we worked in the same room. It was good to sit and talk about my current chapter with K, who had been lovely enough to read over it in detail. I finally feel like I know how to fit all the messy pieces into a slightly-less-messy whole - I am writing out a New Plan for the restructuring now (taking a tea break), and I have high hopes of turning it into something readable soon. Maybe I will have a thesis, after all, in a few months. I liked that other people were working too - Lisa tippetytapping away at her verymanyexhibitionworks, Jarrad stuffing a thousand papers into a thousand envelopes.

I like to be tired out from 'working', when it is a good kind of working. Making new things (this chapter! it is a New Thing!) It would be nice to do more of my playwork with people, and happily I have plans to do more in the coming weeks - crafternoons, and thesis-workshopping, and maybe I'll organise some fiction-writing, too.

In other exciting news, it is possible that the organic pesticide I do-it-myselfed on Sunday is starting to deal with The Caterpillar Plague. That would mean: basil again! Sweet potato leaves for eating! A less be-laced garden!

I am happy. Now, back to writing words about India.
