Do you remember my rather special notebooks that were so nice that I didn’t know what to put in them?  I have now solved the problem!

Red:  Art Journal – thanks to George Hogg for putting me on to this, it is a journal where you put sketches, collages….Anything really, instead of writing.

Orange: Designs – I sometimes have ideas for product design, or graphics and need to journal them.

Yellow: Writing – a place to write thoughts and ideas.

Dark green: Poetry – either made up, or phrases/lyrics/poems that I come across and like.

Light green: Furniture – to design my custom furniture pieces.

Light blue: Places – Places that I would like to go, or have found that I like.

Dark blue: Photo journal – for capturing moments and intriguing objects.

I have just purchased a Polaroid camera because I really love the effect of the pictures.  However, the film costs a fortune!!  Does anyone know where you can get it cheap?

Driving is always stressful.  However, there are a few things that really bug me:

1.  People (especially van and lorry drivers, and taxi drivers) who assume that hazard warning lights are “park anywhere lights”.  This means, that if they want to, they can pull up and stop in the middle of any road, one way system or car park gangway.  Lorries are classic for stopping in the middle of the road blocking off the huge space that they could have pulled into.

2.  The buggy staff.  These are people who seem to think that they are Moses and that their small baby in a pram or pushchair is the staff that parted the Red Sea.  It never ceases to amaze me how some parents will quite happily push their child into the road to part the traffic.  How dangerous?!

3.  When you are pulling out of a junction and people cross the road in front of your car rather than behind so that you miss that long-awaited gap.  They also frown at you as if you have no right to be there.

4.  Pot holes!  There are so many!  Driving round Cheltenham at present is a bit like trying to navigate a rocky mountain range.
