Today I am covering reception at work (Arts Council) and when I arrived I found a tiny calling card on my keyboard, a sleeping boy under a blanket and a dream of trees. On the back of him was typed ‘Clare Owen Illustration’. So I visited http://www.clareowen.co.uk/ and her drawings are lovely things. Bon Iver and Laura Marling, The Moldy Peaches and ukuleles also a good call.
From reception I can see the four gold tips of the cathedral tower over the office buildings. And although today seemed mostly to involve stapling and unruly fax machines, I spoke to people with kind voices in Edinburgh and Ely and here in Exeter, even if it was only about office supplies.
Later today my lovely friend Clare is coming to stay (although she is not a Clare that draws) so I am excited. She is a very sunny person and we will drink lots of tea together.
I am grateful for the beautiful things I encounter in life but perhaps more grateful for the simple things; a cup of tea made for me, small kindnesses from strangers and a patch of sunlight to eat my lunch in.
