essayelA long boring day counting pencils. Annual stocktaking is the pits but I would sooner count the pencils/postcards etc than write up the results. That's tomorrow's job and the day after and the day after that. You'd think in the day of the barcode and digital everything that writing fiddly tiny figures on ruled paper to make a spread sheet would be a thing of the past but no - Monmouthshire County Council won't support the very basic software needed to do that. Instead we have to do it by hand, so I can look forward to at least a fortnights cratchiting with the resultant and cramp to boot.
Finally found the part of the Games of Kings I'm supposed to be illustrating and I think I may chicken out, It requires a high level of competence in handling light and perspective and I don't think I've time. May draw Francis as 'Voevoda Bolshoia' as that's more appropriate to the function - plus I'd get to draw him with longer hair.
Leafburst today! By lunchtime all the willows on the Castle meadows were green and by the time I left the castle the biches were in a green mist and the ash tree had sprouted what looked like rather comical bunches of green feathers. The copper beech is biding its time tho' as are the oaks - always fashionably late.
Saw Bry and Tiggy and Gaz - they came into the museum to mither me. They look as though they've enjoyed their first couple of terms at uni. Bry and Tiggy suggested that I adopt them - the only reason I can think of why they might wish this is that they feel they could count on a policy of non-interference from me. The little dears!
