's been a long time
The last week ended with me at Wimbledon, catching up on some good games of tennis (Isn't it all so exciting at the moment? Some new faces in this year's semis, and Serena got her own back on Henin-Hardenne - wohoo!), I had a busy weekend that included both work and pleasure (also during which I read all of the latest Harry Potter, on a whim, despite having vowed not to buy it), went running in rain so heavy that I looked pretty much naked in my white shirt, simultaneously witnessing the violent collapse of our two months of perfect weather, streamed the two-hour long Apple Keynote speech at the expense of a talk that I had to give on Tuesday (which I completed just in time, and to my own satisfaction; the keynote was worth it), buggered up one of my knees whilst running on a drier day, ate chocolate digestive biscuits nearly to the point of being ill, was nearly blinded by the painful myopia of almost seven solid hours of careful, tedious, closeup analyses of my latest experimental samples with a pair of unwieldy tweezers, and managed to avoid writing a single word about it on here. Which is why I had to relate it all in a single sentence.
There appears to be a point of balance between which one finds the time, or is at least comfortable enough, to sit down and weave the tapestries of inanity that constitute our online spheres. Judging from my attempt at a summary, I seem to have been madly dashing around at the busier end of the comatose-to-nuclear fission scale.
Nice. It makes time fly. And I was just photographed in a novel way - à la American beauty - but covered in banknotes instead of rose petals. Nothing remotely sordid (Mena Suvari was naked)... just playing around with concepts for the photographic scavenger hunt, 26 things, a follow on from the May Day project. I'm hoping to get some of these done in Poland. Got a site and bandwidth to spare - why not take part?

Covered in banknotes? *raised eyebrow* What interests me is where you acquired the banknotes. ;) It will be an interesting picture to see surely. Glad to have you back and writing again, I had wondered if you hadn't been bludgeoned by a stray ball and hospitalized on one of your runs - you'd been gone so long. Be of good cheer.
Well, there's no guarantee that anyone will see this picture in the first place, but it was not as lavish as one might think! Firstly, it was not an ocean of banknotes, as rose petals, but a localised scattering, and the reason that there were so many is that the banknotes were of a lesser, old-European currency that is of low value against the pound. Merciful exchange rates. No, it was not the Polish Zloty, though that's an idea too.
