For the time being, I’ve got very little computering work to do. I have been thinking about a big new project, but it’s still in the “thinking about it” stage. So I’m faffing with yet another new design for the Oakleaf Circle site.
The Oakleaf Camp is the weekend after next, and there’s going to be a Steadings stall, with Carol, John, Sue, and possibly Jan & Dave selling their craft stuff from it. I’ve been invited to sell something there as well, so I’ll print some cards – I’m selecting photos for them now. I’m also going to attempt to sell two or three of my paintings.
I’ve taken loads of photos in the last couple of years – I’ve become quite obsessed with light and colour. So most of them aren’t the conventional sort of landscape/nature pictures that most people seem to like. So I don’t know how well they’ll sell. But I like them – I’m going to start putting some on my office wall.
Something else that obsessing me at the moment is Bob Dylan’s songs. A couple of weeks ago, B said something about Dylan not writing anything good since the 70s; I was sure he was wrong. Then last week I finally got a pair of headphones for my ‘puter; it’s never had speakers, so I’m now wallowing in music while I work. And I’ve been listening to loads of Dylan.
For virtually the whole of the 70s, I was cut off from most popular music – no TV, very little radio. The reasons are too boring to go into here; but ever since, I’ve been slowly discovering musical gems from that time (yes, there was some good music in the seventies!). So this week, I’ve heard Sara, Forever Young and Isis for the very first time; plus I’ve listened anew to the superb Things Have Changed and rocked along to Thunder on the Mountain. Dylan hasn’t written anything new? Pshaw!
