It's been a gloriously sunny day. We've had nearly a week of it so far - could it be that Summer has arrived!

Sat by the river at the Cock pub this morning, as I had gone to get more herculite, but the shop has gone and is now a mechanics place. Spent most of the afternoon shifting a flower bed to a new position and making a little seating area that will catch some afternoon sun. Guess I'll get some flowering annuals soon for the beds and hanging baskets. Felt good to get dirty and exert some energy. I need physical exercise!

Sold the painting I made for Santana Morning, and the Gaea figurines are still selling on E-bay - will soon have my positive feedback rating of 10, though I don't know what difference it makes. Another Gaea is going to the US, which is good as I tend to make a little more on those because of p+p.

Took the design for Bi's into Brambles and they loved it and are going to show it to their rep. I've tweaked it a bit more since then so will take the new one in soon, and will get it together to make the 'old dyke' one soon too - may use mother as the model, but will have to see how she reacts to the idea, or try to resist telling her what it's for.

Saw Mara yesterday and got the bus out to her place in Aylsham - God it was gruelling. She doesn't know what she's doing and is attracting the worst kind of people. The sort of tossers that offer her 2CB, 2CI or some other hideous drug that will fuck your head permanently. She is just too easily lead. It's such a shame as she has a heart of pure gold and would do absolutely anything for absolutely anyone without exception. The world doesn't deserve her!

Was going to go to Allen Ashley's 50th birthday bash in Islington this coming Saturday but have decided to give it a miss after all. I want to go to places with less people not more. Don't think I'd enjoy London right now.

Appointment for contact lens trial tomorrow.
