Entertained myself finding new galleries and art related things to befriend on Facebook; can't help but wonder at how much easier it is to find things out in this era. I have had a plethora of invites flooding my mailbox on FB and email for private views and openings in the capital and all over Scotland; it would have been a serious pain in the butt to hear about all of these things in landmail days and essentially probably impossible. Not that I will get to go to all of them as I am not superhuman (as the last few days exhaustion have clearly demonstrated) but it is great to have the choice of what to see and when, and even to co-ordinate so someone I know goes to shows I can't and gets the goss. Is clever, ya! Think I have probably painted enough of my lovely leafy angels already, but just a couple more for the road, as it were... then I shall branch out once more and see where the mood takes me.
Found and purchased my first three Christmas presents and located the rest that I will need in the Mulberry Tree shop in Morningside; why didn't I think of this before? Great wee 'make and do' type kits for the kids, art and craft stuff, amazing hand made slippers, cards, cool bathroom consumables and heaps more; all for charity and a zillion miles away from your average panic-bought M&S or WHSmiths offerings.
Great wee comment from Draw Drumchapel in Glasgow, who asked to be FB friends: 'May you never wait tables again; love the work, if you're through in Glasgow drop in & see us, the kettle is rarely off!' Made me smile all day... I'll raise a glass for a (non-alcoholic) toast to that every single m.f. day of the week:)
