Rain rain rain. Pfft, it rained in Italy now it rains in Melbourne. Over it. But yay rain, good for growing farmers.

Lookin at John's pictures of croquet and mint juleps on the lawn of the American Academy does not help

Had an ok-ish day, started a bit slow, had put an internet ban on but then got a phone call asking for a document so that ruined that. So did bits and pieces, started editing wikipedia articles, slapped myself for that bit of procrastination. Had some lunch, did domestic stuff, knitted. Decided to take myself off to work in Journal on Flinders Lane, that was much better, I wrote a lovely flow chart for my chapter and it helped so much, just sitting and thinking without trying to actually edit the words I have or read other things.

Then had a meeting at Animal Orchestra (Mum called it Animal Crackers the other day), so a house white and a bunch of articles to read for our online journal. I have one on early twentieth century french adverts for alcoholic drink, clearly up my alley, and some other one which looks shit called "From Apple to the Photography. Uses and Abuses of the fruit in the visual contemporary historiography.' Pardon?
