I decided to have another week of just “catching up” with odds and sods. This involved finishing my Wiksten Unfolding jacket which proved to be very successful, even though the reversible sleeves went in quite weirdly.
The week just filled up with random things like going with Nella to a piercing place in Aberdeen, taking about 30 seconds to get rid of cobwebs that have been hanging around for x-years, decluttering the kitchen drawers, tidying cables (again), and organising my sellotape collection. Yes, fine - it was a lot of procrastinating but that was entirely necessary.
We spent the weekend in Glasgow with Freya and without Nessie. It was a relief only to have to tackle the 77 steps once a day since we did not have to make multiple trips to find grass. The girls browsed a couple of vintage clothes shops and we visited a couple of nice cafes. They occupied themselves for a day while I went to teach a Q24 owner, who lived outside the city, how to use her longarm machine.
I was astounded to see a protest march in the city centre with a heavy police escort against Covid vaccinations. I simply don’t get why people would not want to vaccinate their way out of a pandemic!
We visited the Glasgow modern art museum which was illuminating. Don’t get me wrong - it was interesting in an intellectually pretentious way. There were amazing tapestries that had a complicated explanation to do with steel, Sikhs and some other stuff that went right over my head. The visit was quite an affirming experience for me. I came out and realised that my art is actually “worthy” of being displayed in such a space!
