Gamuts and Profiles

Gamuts and Profiles

What a session I just had. It wasn’t with with a physiotherapist though my neck and shoulder do need some relieving manipulation. Nor a dentist though my teeth were damagingly clenched for a few hours. Nor a psychologist even though I needed to talk with someone to excise the stress induced by printing. No, my session was with a helpline Ian who checked and approved my work and provided me a discount for a print run that needs to be reprinted.

Not every moon shot looks as bright as it should!

February 9, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

It was great to see a book leave the house but shortly afterwards, the doorbell didn’t ring. It’s been disconnected for several weeks pending replacement that is suffering from Brexit. Our priorities are maintained, the bell may be delayed but our book supply is not.

Duvets

Why do pillow cases end up inside duvet covers in the wash? Some say it’s due to the alternate cycling of the drum.

Novel Notes

February 6, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

I just found a note, sent by young man who could not have known it would be a much older man who read it. Like a message in a bottle, it was just a scrap in a box that has floated around the world, following me since I wrote it in 1987.

Come Together

February 5, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

I walked from Westminster to Primrose Hill on this date in 2019. I walked past Regents Park Zoo, drug dealers and The Beatles’ Apple Studios. I didn’t see any tourists searching for Freud, apart from me. Over by Abbey Road, the street was alive with people taking selfies on one of the most famous pedestrian crossings in the world.
