Cold-ish, dark and damp... so.. 'seasonal'

Spent yesterday putting together a 70 slide presentation on typography.. could have gone on for about 200 more - but students have limited attention spans.

Had a very strange dream last night that I was living in the east end of the City of London - somewhere between Farringdon and Aldgate - around Commercial Street, and I was working for somebody, sourcing factories that could manage high end tailoring and button suppliers. Oddly enough I secretly always wanted to me a tailor. Not the high street kind, a proper master tailor. There was a time where the best way to learn the trade outside Saville Row was in prison - thought that was a bit of a sacrifice... when I was a student the inmates of the fashion department would always complain about tailoring classes - how hard they were etc - but it was the only thing I found fascinating.

I noticed again last week that my eyesight is getting worse - someone gave me their business card and I couldn't read it, so I just burst out laughing and made a joke about it. I was trying to read something in bed last week but I had to give up  ( to be fair - it looked about 4pt ).

I had to cut a toffee out of Little Mouse's chin fur earlier.... I have no idea where that came from, she's probably been popping out to the shops.
