We like to paint our names on the wall

I've spent a few minutes trying to knock out some logos to go on t-shirts for Mabel. It's not gone entirely to plan.

People will no doubt be pleased to note that the overall effect of yesterday's playlist experiment was to remind me that there are a few albums I haven't listened to enough, or haven't listened to in a while. So today, I've listened to Envy of Angels, by the Mutton Birds, Lost Horizons by Lemon Jelly and am currently listening to Head Music by Suede. I found the Suede album cheap in a bargain bucket somewhere and have since been recommended against it, since it belongs to Suede's crap (ie post Butler-departure) era.

I can't sleep, I can't dream

Well, tonight on my "nice quiet evening sitting doing nothing", I have:

Been to Tesco
Roasted some vegetables, and made roasted vegetable and feta pasties.
Fried lots of pig, and made bacon and sausage meat pasties.
Eaten my tea.
Tidied up the bombsite I'd made of the kitchen.
Installed Potatoshop on my laptop.

Now Potatoshop, my old enemy, and I are about to sit down to try and do what an experienced graphics-package user called "fifteen minutes work".

Start the clock :)

23:20 - Stop the clock!

A plausible finished version. It's not perfect, but I think it's as good as me, my lack of co-ordinated sinistry and dexterity, and my strokey-mouse are going to get it.
