A Footnote

A footnote to yesterday's story:

Karl's wife asked her grandad and he said that her great-uncle Jimmy Buckley had a work-mate called Kirkbride- so that pretty much confirms the identification.

Maybe you and Ailz should write a little something before they cover over your walls...

We're leaving the graffiti unpapered. They'll have a beading surround with a bit of perspex for protection.

I can see exactly what you are saying about not feeling you have to post when you have nothing particular to say. But I agree with many of your correspondents who just like to tune in and see what you are doing and thinking. I usually check out your postings in batches, and really enjoy your writing style and occasional rages. Maybe I should reply more often to give you feedback. But I know you get plenty as it is. Still now I know I can, without having my own LJ, I will, from time to time. The one I thought I should have replied to was about van Gogh, but someone else did it for me!

I think what I was really doing was giving myself permission not to post if I didn't want to.

I'd got into a state where I was sitting gazing at the screen for hours, desperately trying to drum up some inspiration.

That is very cool. Circle of life, continuity through the generations, etc., etc.

Isn't it just!
