1st - 8th february
MOOD ~ Self image is the mood. Let this image inspire what it will. 
SUNDAY ~ Perfume sampling followed by a meat luncheon at Olwi's. Ladanum + Oak (from RAER) settled
acridly on my skin but quite brightly
on Hannah and Olwi's.
Uli recoiled
when presented with the atomiser and
refused to participate in our scent
trial. (She preferred the 'Bob's').
Their (RAER's) Angelica Root EDP 
is the closest I've gotten to a
'digging up stubborn Alexander root'
scent.
We noticed Venus shining like a blimp
to the bottom right of the moon.
MONDAY ~ I'd recorded a saga of bag-washing for Lou's radio show.
This was visual proof of the bag. 
WEDNESDAY ~ Had to wear my grimacing t-shirt to demonstrate my mood. We (group) made a belated St. Brigid's Cross for Imbolc amidst unwanted talk of demons. A small rush plant, so only enough stems for one cross.
My flattened spoon bangle has been cheering me.
THURSDAY ~ Nothing left. Slightly revived at communal
lunch chats about gardening maintenance and design work.
Felt I'd performed all the necessary conversational
functions.
Later on at Will's, I started my odyssey into this cookbook. A gift from Sarah - it's a recipe compilation from a 1960's-70's (?) sorority, Sigma.
Cookies we're easy, yes, but my timings too slow for
the dogged heat of Will's oven.
FRIDAY ~ I'd like to 'know' Electra a little better before I see her at the theatre. The
bookseller had drenched this copy in what could only be toilet cleaner. Was the
wave of disgust set upon me with each page turn worth it ? Yes, I enjoyed it (the plot) a lot.
BONUS - Still in love
with Todmordenbooks on eBay.
