Baskervilles Corner


and of course its a class thing too ... 

a woman of her intellectual

capacity could not be expected 

to understand the legal risks involved 

in divorcing a pedophile 


1105

she found that becoming a witch 

bothering her neighbour and writing a book about her 

gave her a role and took her mind 

off her husbands penchant for young men ... 

and that she could syphon off some of 

the good atmosphere coming from next door ... 




130414

funny she's in cohoots with this man

who took the best years of her life

a healthy young woman 

grieving the absence of her children 

meanwhile he was fucking young rent 

boys up the arse ... 











Flora continued

140414

i look and look and still no sign 

and it looks alot more like my mother now I've lost it 


************




and she's moved into what used to be a family home 

where her aunt used to live 

130414


slight alteration to mouth this looks closest to my version 






dear aunt 

I'm really sorry to bring this up again ...

i am in alot of pain

wanting a photograph of that fairys face ...

its a bit like when i lost the puppet

and in order to not hold a grudge i need to make that clear ...

im also thinking of submitting it as part of an exhibition

can you just photograph the face

and email it to me please i implore you ...

and before it gets worked on

after which it might look different

i will also try to visit sometime 


930pm 









n this is some kind of an attitude thing 

like i want to 'make her do it' 

and she will of course 

sense that and dig her heels in 

my chest and heart

are full of fractured bones 


120414  930am

and its like sometimes my need to get a result 

takes precedence over my relationship with a person 

like I'm more concerned with getting that photograph 

than i am with my how i approach it 

and the need to be patient 

the nurses in hospital said you have to give people a chance 

its like then you are waiting all day for a newspaper 

and you wonder when is it appropriate to badger people for what you want 

x 

and the tapestry starts to tell a story 

like the lost puppet 






10-120414 

makes you wonder what happened before cameras 

wen you couldn't make a copy 

and were great works lost in fires or stolen 

i suppose i thought it wasnt my design 

i can see now that my rendering of the face is quite unique 

and that it resembles my mother and maternal grandmother 

theres are other peoples renderings

Mirabilia Fairy Flora





i made one of these for my aunt as an heirloom 

and didn't think of photographing my version 

which is unique and looks like the face 

of my mother and grandmother ... 

probably i didn't think of it because someone else designed it 

and because i regard needlework as 'uncool' 

i want to ask my aunt to photograph it 

without coming across as rude ... after all it was a gift to her 

and is it about to tell another story ....

soap box

010414 

12.30pm 

the volunteer centre a nice warm friendly local atmosphere and id pop in for advice it was a real hub and you got people with mental illnesses into voluntary work and oh yes there was a  shop attached 

that personal human touch we used to have in this county we used to have standards .... computers have made things more impersonal anonymous mechanised

Bruce Springsteen did a song about the human touch 

everything isn't all about money its peoples attitudes as well 

can we put a development here *thump fist on table * *bang* a development there *bang*
