Hurrah: my @tanaudel @redbubble cushion covers arrived!

I know I probably have way too many colours and patterns going on in this room, but I don’t care ...

I’m an hour late to a music rehearsal for the Good Friday service because I didn’t read my smses properly because my email bounced because it was typed incorrectly because it’s been that sort of week, but hey, I’m here & we’re singing about Easter 😊

Had a gap so stopped in at my OTHER old stomping ground for 25 or so minutes of scribbling. Get it when you can ...

Back to my old stomping grounds. Kicking it old school this morning to help get the creative juices flowing. Still sleep-deprived, but I think it’s getting better. Anyway, let’s do this.

I was going to post this as “Writing time old school on new lap desk, cosy under one of my mother-in-law’s quilts while the rain is bucketing down outside”, but that would be a lie as I wound up doing all of today’s writing on my laptop at my desk instead.

Oh well. I shall be cosy and old school another day.

Eee! Look what the post brought today: “Aster and the Mixed Up Magic” by Thom Pico and Karensac from @rhkidsgraphic. Just LOOK at those colours—those gorgeous landscapes—the charming mix of art styles to denote past and present—not to mention this awesome gag involving a sheep guard.

So much fun! Looking forward to more—set in JAPAN!

The other thing I saw at @jpfsydney was their display for Hina Matsuri—the doll festival. I was quite taken with this palanquin and ox cart (I was researching ox carts recently). So gorgeous!

The things I forget to post: last Friday I visited

The things I forget to post: last Friday I visited the @jpfsydney to see their exhibition on sentō/public baths. I liked the artwork of bathhouse stamps enlarged—particularly this one with a cat and noren. It was interesting learning about some of the history and how public bathhouses became tiled during the Meiji period (before, they were all wood), and how people use them and feel about them now. The exhibition is on until 22 May, so see it while you can.

I finished “Amelia Unabridged” by Ashley Schum

I finished “Amelia Unabridged” by Ashley Schumacher over the weekend. I don’t normally preorder books by authors I’m unfamiliar with, but I liked the premise of this one immediately, it was recommended for fans of Jandy Nelson (which I am!), and I was given a book gift card for Christmas. (Best gift ever, IMHO!)

This is a YA novel about a girl named Amelia who became best friends with Jenna after Amelia’s family imploded. At the same time, she falls in love with the work of fantasy author NE Endsley and his Orman Chronicles, which accompany both Amelia and Jenna as they grow up. At the end of high school, the girls travel specially to a book festival to meet Endsley—only to have him cancel at the very last minute. Two weeks later, Jenna dies in a car crash in Ireland, and sometime after that, Amelia receives an anonymous gift of a limited edition hardback of one of Endsley’s books.

That’s the bones of the story, but of course it fails to capture its richness—the friendship between the two girls, the grief and guilt that Amelia feels and how it changes her relationship to reading, and the beautiful nuances of what happens next as she tries to solve the mystery behind the gifted book. Woven through it all are many threads to do with growing up and figuring out what to do with one’s life, the way books change us and care for us, the roots behind the writing of them, and the things people do to overcome suffering. Oh, and there’s an absolutely AWESOME bookstore at the heart of it all.

I did wish that a few things were handled a bit better (eg the character of Alex). But overall, I very much enjoyed this one and was sad when it ended.

It’s hard to productive at home so I am trying out for a bit. Thankful that the current COVID situation here allows this.

(I’m also thankful the gym is complete: 40 push-ups today—_after_ the chest track. No breaks.)
