Day 6.

Day six:

Today I went down to the Baltic with my sketchbook. My main reason for going was to buy a few birthday presents for a couple of people but as I was there I thought I may as well have a look around.

Martin Parr and Kimsooja were both very good. I only saw the ground floor of Parr's photographs as I didn't have much time and wanted to save the other floor for a later date (got to ration out the fun in these long days of unemployment). Kimsooja's films are really interesting. There's a point in the Indian film I think where a TV crew arrive to film her making her film. I'm not here to write reviews but I will say it's worth a look.

Day 3.

Day 3:

While at the Graninger Market yesterday I got over excited by the cheap figs and pomegranates and ended up buying lots of them. I got a Moro cook book for my birthday and there was a recipe for a pomegranate granizado so I'm going to make that tonight. Today, there were 2 figs left after we had the rest baked last night with honey and greek yogurt.

I've played with this sketch a bit. It only took a few minutes, I scanned it and it appeared in Photoshop so that's where the colour came from. I went through several versions and decided less colour is best.
