I would start off with a 100×100 pixel pattern or image, and ask four people to create another image, but only by seeing one edge of my starting image. They would then build their own 100×100 image, using my one edge as a starter for theirs. They would then get three more people to create images, using just the edge of their picture as a starter and so on… each picture would get submitted back to me, putting together one huge picture.

Those that do should already know.

to an abandoned house where he and his wife used to live
he enters through the gap where the front door used to be
sighing, he looks up through holes in the roof
time has come and gone

where she’s been, nobody knows
she has gathered a wedge of money
and many jars of honey
who knows where the wind blows?

I’m enjoying my life and job up North. It’s reet grand.
They like their tea strong and everybody I’ve met has been genuinely friendly. Hopefully going to get up to The Lakes soon, given that they’re only an hour away.

That’ll be all.

It was very hot and sunny, managed to burn my forearms. There’s usually more going on in the crowd, than on the pitch at these events; it’s a lot of fun.

They were absolutely fantastic. Rich and clear vocals and instruments, great lyrics, fun and really nice people. Go buy their album, Sleeper, and go to see them play live.

- watching somebody build something with Lego
- turning the pages of a newspaper in a quiet room
- words that have S in them, being said in a sibilant manner.

Who liked to go on and on
But she was such a bright light
And had such ugly toes to fright
That I’d like to say “Go on!”.
