Day 137 - 8:12pm, 18 May 2019
Today is a day for getting the creative juices flowing. Little Miss is on a sleepover, meaning my morning is free. So I make the most of it by attending a Papercraft workshop to make a framed picture. It is surprisingly relaxing, punching butterflies out of patterned paper and attaching them to the background. Moreso than I was expecting, which prompts a meander around the shop to find the tools to do more of it at home.
Afterwards, I join my mum and aunt to go to a flower arranging demonstration. It's quite an art, not just the floral display, but the ability to entertain the crowd through it with story after story. Much as I'd like to think I could do both, the likelihood is that even if I had the flower arranging skills - needless to say, I don't! - it would be at the detriment of any ability to put on a show. There would be complete silence, my back would be turned to the audience and I would keep changing my mind about what flowers should go where.
Better to stick to writing where I can sit and write and rewrite to my heart's content without anyone expecting a show.
