Couple of things.
Funny how your least favourite thing can become the most liked with a little work. This pic was the one I came to almost last because I just wasn't enjoying it (one of the last images from the book draw that people will work with) and then, after an hour of frowning it became one of the panels I like most. If you'll forgive the sermonising it remindeth me of a student I taught last year. Her first year had not been a success, for various reasons, and she got a D which I think was deserved in the grand scheme of things. Year 2 we really worked on things, did a lot of positive encouragement and the final result (aggregated even) was a B and I was the recipient of a really happy email to say thanks :) (and truth to tell felt similarly proud at the accomplishment).
Also a local company which I'll name once it's all happily organised have very kindly come into the Big Book Draw in a big way, sponsoring a perspex wall that people will be able to draw on. That's a fab bit of news because it was the thing I think I most wanted to do just didn't think I could squeak it in in the squeaky budget. To know it's a goer is a fab and lifting bit of new. Woo hoo :) More stuff as it comes in.
