Coveting

Tuesday 10 November 2009

I woke up this morning feeling as I so often do lately like I have been having a conversation with myself or with God or something while I have been asleep. This morning I woke up and felt like I understood a tiny bit more why Francis of Assisi so loved Lady Poverty.

But now, standing empty-handed, I nevertheless covet, dribblingly. I dream of devisings to creep over to England and under cover of darkness sneak into Tess's house and steal her clock.

How totally bloody awesome is that? (The clock, not my desire to pilfer).

Made from a piece of yew wood by the wildly talented Rima Staines.

  5. I now am packing in my suitcase some shin guards like they were in soccer, and some catnip. I'll see how I go :)

    Does it remind me of Louisa, Kel? No, not really :) Of Bruno? (Not that I know him but) ... well, yes. Of Maggie? Yes. Wasn't sure who you were referring to, hah :)

    Andi - I need to get over and read more of her blog. Travelling about in a wooden house is just ... well, you wonder why the roads aren't full of wooden houses, don't you :)
