White Night and Reflective Gear

I have lots of reflective gear now after going on Night Rider, a treasure hunt on bikes.

Popcorn Drawing

On Friday, some friends and I had a popcorn drawing session. We started by eating quite a bit of the popcorn and compared the salty and sweet ones. Sweet ones are crunchier. Then we laid them out and started drawing. We thought they were like little explosions.

bees knees

Debbie and I really enjoy riding our bikes at the moment. We biked to the seafront to the Pleasure Bus, a golden campervan gallery shop and rode back with our bees knees.
In the evening I went to Tight Lip, an event at Permanent Gallery. With readings from Joolz Denby, Gary Goodman and Peter Target. Also music from 21 Crows. Very inspiring.
