More of the same, it is still going ahead. Push buttons onward with this one during the day, I don’t really spend as much time on it right now as I could but when things quieten down I’m now like that, it is very figurative, and it’s all done so quickly, right then get it fixed. So we’ve had a few really productive days as well for sure, but now it’s time to put it together. I am certainly looking at few different angles, and now the next big dearth online. Doing something at the salon, gathering in all the little nuggets, is a huge experiment, so you have various stations that run congruently. Paving the way for further expansion at some stage, working on various subjects concurrently. Practical steps to deliver results quickly, the pace of change is dramatic. The demand for research increasing, a day here I have in store, various artifacts.

Up again it’s only some conversations, at the moment, gripping and holding steady we’re solid, just awaiting orders so that we can begin our trek further into the wilderness, where we expect to encounter various enemy forces, by the looks of the early group it’s quite rickety in there. So many wounded and many road weary people, all of whom will need to get fed so they can resume the fight back here in the barrio. Plenty of tracks led out of the safe zone and into the unknown a load of signals and noises are making us nervous besides eye witness reports of something fairly unusual. We’ve yet to really be tested back here in the barracks, we’re fairly concerned about the chance that fairly dangerous plans are afoot, but you’ve got to keep an open mind.

The mayor probably expected all the reactionary press they receive for the secrecy and the ‘cloak and dagger’ nature of the operation, perhaps it’s ongoing and it’s definitely a concern to various neutral or even rival nations. Though as you can probably guess nobody seems to bothered about them, just want to find out what the world can do for them in a reverse of the trends towards good neighbourhoods identified by previous incumbents. That statement could have been the reason he was impeached.

As people now want to get things done, there’s far too much procrastination happening at the top for our liking, we feel anxious as there’s not anything to see or to do yet. Up as soon making and today’s been a fabulous example for some people to try out, it’s a skill that I value highly and therefore it’s self-explanatory that I’ll enjoy having that ability safe to say it’s one that I required really to begin with, there’s endless amounts of the stuff to process. Before too long we’ll be getting underway I have feeling, and today I am also thinking a lot about the sycamore, and what if we had a surplus of green logs lying around, how much new stuff I could manufacture. We could be coining it, with the amount that was in the woods very recently, as it’s been cleared the feeling is very different and it’s privately owned land really. Still I reckon I could probably still turn a few nice bowls that the material has lost none of it’s aesthetically pleasing qualities. It’s a very sustainable product as it grows widely here but it’s non-native, I think given the lack of very substantial green spaces we’ll be also leading an initiative to ‘clean out’ whole woodlands, of non-natives that may still become a feature of the woods, in the long run through the extensive arts and crafts heritage here, that places a huge demand on certain home grown broad-leaf species, such as hazel, ash and pine. Sycamore has to make way for the big performing natives to return and provide better shade and more peace of mind generally it’s like they’ve never been away. They are much better for wildlife apparently, especially cool are hedgerows for habitat, which we tend to not notice and sometimes they fracture just due to a variety of pressures it’s mainly the bovine kind, when you go through you go too far.

During the fall there’s coppicing to do and quickset hedging to lay, on the farm. Eventually I’m sure the work will be required, I’m thinking of about 10 craft items off the pole lathe, which could be sold in the craft shop. So also various bodging activities take place around the woodland workshop, and you don’t need a lot of land, for the stuff to get made. Just close enough to the market, the shop could be in town, and it could bring in revenue from the city to build the rural economy as well. It’s that money led projects proliferate here over the years, you can see why as demand for them almost always outstrips supply. There are some wonderful illustrations coming out soon, I think on the wood engraving arts, yet to be published, but in the pipeline, I’m hoping to lend a hand in the education on the subject, maybe create a handmade book. It’s a contrast to the web page a lot of the stuff online is quite misleading though and doesn’t show the arts and crafts in a good light, which is why some prefer the traditional technology either way, both employ a lot of design skills that you really can’t teach except through hands on demonstration. Like pottery it’s very much about the experience of making things rather than simply a means to an end, there’s lots of similarities between web design and traditional printmaking.

Sort of cheek by jowl as the saying goes. It’s kind of been a normal week here until today, sort of came in from the cold, I can say many things are taking place in various places, I still think that quite a lot of the team use this path to begin with it’s fairly well hidden, almost no pointers right now, as to what our exact situation is going to be, in a few days we’ll probably have a clearer picture other things do feature generally of course. It’s also a passion for me really and one of the biggest I’ve experienced so far, fairly mundane times so far, it’s 24 hours since we had a lot to say on the current agenda not very much they say that restrictions are being lifted which is a good thing and the system is utterly waterlogged or worse in places. I guessed it would be the case that little changes we might have to make along the way, the tensile structure is really under a lot of stress, and has performed fairly well, it’s encouraging to find that many people are still very optimistic about the chances of the rescue, it’s very refreshing.

We have lots of positives to look forward to for the time being you’ve got a lot more to say on the topic, or so it would seem, there are lots of little things that could reference the current trends and it’s obvious that many people are commentating a great deal on current affairs these days. Barely any information is getting out though and there’s not much discussion online at the same time. Obviously there’s less work available and during the crisis certain things have run to seed certain streams dried up, and we haven’t heard back from many of the crew it makes you wonder if here is an operation of some kind like of a kind predicted in the past by the thinkers of that time, in novels and films and that a lot of stuff is never fully explained is one characteristic that certain boffins identified as a key feature of that society. It’s clearly extremely prevalent here at home, you have to try and find things out and you’re told it’s no go, and you go ‘oh right’.

There’s basically ha a big block of writing there yet either, it’s a gamble everyday it may have helped in the short term but I’ll have to restart everything from scratch, it’s not been a very edifying experience, thus far, as the clock ticks various new information becomes available and it’s patchy to here back from all the plans you were making at the time, many exciting and tumultuous years it’s a shame really, I could never really get over it, but I know they did the best that they could under the circumstances, to find a happy medium. Being at home is so tedious though it’s not for me, and yet I felt that in some way I’d never quite get to the point, and reach escape velocity from all the things that did cause people some anxiety, which everyone feels, we just don’t want to accept it that things have changed so dramatically.

We began work again on the church but no luck we’ll need 2 fix up the walls, now that we develop skills but a parcel came and I had to stop, but I discovered some good things, it’s a shame that there’s so much other stuff and lost property around it, unlucky this time. I’m one for getting my head down generally it’s something I try to do but sometimes this new infrastructure takes some getting used to as well. As we know a lot of projects are progressing well and got to the finish line regarding design, much to people’s chagrin perhaps disproving the whole received wisdom about how things are built. There’s clearly sometimes a great deal of plagiarism at one time, and paraphrase is another useful invention, in larger projects it’s all this and no expression at all that seems to have the upper hand. One thing that I have recently seen is that there are a multitude of styles which people employ some are a little old now.

We’ll keep to the purist tradition often but remember that innovation will help more in long run, and will uncover new ideas as yet hidden. So it’s important to vary the way and the tone, the line thickness also at first and not get overly precious about the look, at first. It’s also a guiding principle of the blog, we believe that there’s silver in the mine, and though it’s not necessarily accurate it’s a must to explore all the basic areas before we take off. Operations are now proceeding as planned, and I’m sending out messages to various comrades and allies, in the region, I just will not take this lying down, now we see that the art of the time is so appealing and it can even be used to take on the ruling elite. What we can make is a highly contentious issue these days us highly mechanised but it seems that really it’s meaning is directly opposite to all the substance and hyperbole that is used to describe it’s purpose. The art of today is very hands on and precise and can be quite useful, so you’d think there would be much more media interest but not so far, as other things like the Plan Voisin took precedence, are very informative and everything they did then had no historical accuracy was all theory a priori. Took a leading role and went out there and predicted the future was the theme of the time, and now it’s something else like making friends and social media as well as celebrity, to really introduce these ideas for the first time to a new generation is much more exciting then just selling out and getting carried away with the affluence of the times that it helps to have these grand dreams.

All sorts of masonry and old plaster, timber together in an internal monologue, that has to reach the surface. Like all my work so far and the commonplace attractions we highly value really never had a chance like that to say very much but really it’s the web for me to begin with, then after a long time I hope to have said enough there and move on, but it’s with a purpose in mind and I was able to get a modicum of support with the project and have ‘new ideas’ like un et un, that are all part of the jigsaw of it’s time, but it’s there in the shops that many people flock to find out all the goods and get the things there. Certain concepts you have along the way as well and I hope that it really sets up that move whereby I can go with my gear only for no and that in so doing I’ll find a bit more out each time, anytime a good idea could occur, we have machines everywhere, and I’ll probe the shelves for information as to how they all worked. Deactivated now and it’s part of the C20 but I could really use some more time to mature, and for me the early system is a big help. There’s going to be other stories, and it’s just up to us to locate these, aside from the mainstream stuff which is getting a lot of exposure it’s just as well if we can accept that it’s a phenomenon really to learn how to buy and sell, it really takes so long. All the fantastic new works have a captive audience, in the meantime trying to make ends meet, raise a family, get an education and so on. Various other interactions that rub off on me, and all the rest, that I’d noted but only the slightest impact as yet, if a really good one comes along I guess, it’ll never be another time like this one where it’s relatively peaceful, not now that so much is happening and so little to get swept up in, my research led me to what I expected to find, a city and a great work that has been released in fact a biography. Written by another author presumably, it’ll be the one for the time being as I set my heart on doing things just like that. I was so impressed, there’s some news from the sales floor, too I’m sure with all the bluster and bombast that there will be a space in my heart for the two larger concepts, and they won’t appear right away unless they are required, but I can get as much typing done here as possible to really feather the nest and allow room to house by two special discoveries, that I’ve noted the whereabouts in the studio. We’re looking out at the area and to search out any remaining dialogue to piece together with a bit more precision what these finds or antiques would have been originally, but they are there on the sea bed now, we have to dive down just to recover the main part.

One thing’s for sure they aren’t all in the room with me right now, it’s only various loose components and they have yet to be reclassified after some time. There’s only a little bit on these machines on the market as yet so I have cleverly moved into a new section of the compound, and am clearing through the substrate I hope we can bottle up the essence of the primary works quite soon so that within the archive they can rest up and we can move on quickly to really get down to the brass tacks on the journey, and whatever state they’re in right now it’s no problem, but it’s harder to conceptualise what we did or didn’t get right without all the facts, and figures. There’s a plethora of books out there on other subjects but doesn’t appear to be much on anything that I’m currently studying so the coast is clear.

In this area I am assuming that the same sort of logic prevails as with the first one, it’s been reopened a few times and shows a sign of life we’ll build it, and then some, I have no idea what’s actually on the site or what it’s about really, just went right in at the deep end and expected to swim to safety but it’s not been easy, though now I’m building a fuller picture, and I think that the foundations are solid.
