Thank heaven for leeetle gurrls
Up early and full of energy.
Received a call this morning from The French Bloke to tell me that he and Bouncy Max had their baby in the small hours this morning. Another little girl of 8lbs 10oz, or the weight of a small turkey as The FB observed cheerily. Max and gurgling baby both sounding perky in the background. This is the FB's and Max's second girl, and The FB's fifth.
Otherwise for me an uneventful day. Wading through an abundance of scrappy bits of work. Teamed up with another Art Director instead of the Gnome, which feels odd but makes a change to get a different kind of input.
I continue to listen to Martian Time Slip. The whole story is aching with paranoia, alienation, and the isolation of the human condition in a way that transcends the SF genre. In short a good read.
Feeling restless today. Incredible how being outside for three days reminds you how dehumanising it is to be continually cooped up in trains and offices. In the evening, after speaking to Bob who had just been visiting a friend in hospital, I strapped on my walking boots and went for a long stomp along the seafront. Great to live by the sea and to be able to crunch about on the pebbles and touch the water. It is an unbelievably grounding thing.
