Back to Today

After 3 weeks of illness and digressions in to childhood, '70s pop culture, Skreeworld is back. All bloodtests clear, still got the ultrasound scan to go but I'm returning to reality, well the holes in my head that light, sound, smell etc. in are all opporating functionally, disentangled from nostalgia. Work build up towers over me, the furniture for Pitt is nearly done, the pieces for Bath loaded. Today I saw a peregrine, a sparrowhawk and several buzzards. The Ivy flowers provide last pollen pockets where red admirals, bees from the hives behind the workshop and stray flies and hoverflies amass. Autumn seems to come so quickly these days. I see Tracy is moaning about arts cuts after her threats to leave for France last year for th 50% tax threat. You can't have it both ways.Art will continue whatever just as sex and love will, maybe not the orgies of recent times but perhaps a time of more considered work may emerge. I can understand, even as an artist, albeit one who has never benefitted from state funding, that our premiership of culture ma pass for a while yet wouldnt you do it anyway? had you the need? maybe not. lets see what emerges.
