A weekend of finalising artwork images for the website, preparing intercessions (which were delivered on Sunday), and a casting off my old and immobilised NAD record turntable and replacing it with a Stanton T-52. My domestic vinyl collection is now back on line:

6.30 am: An early morning jaunt to, through, and from Llanbadarn village was followed by a shower, breakfast, and exercises of the soul. This is now my routine. 8.45 am: To work. The focus of today’s endeavours was The Pictorial Bible III gallery. This would be mechanistic work; a necessary chore:

Afternoon. Having assembled, disassembled, imported, and deleted the gallery more times that I’d care to confess, a better (belt and braces) solution was found to the problems of: a) including full captions; and b) providing adequately sized enlargements of the images. The captions will be part of the PDF document of each image, and made accessible from a link in the works’ inventory on the website page. The enlarged images will be accessible directly from the thumbnail gallery (now fixed courtesy of Mr Iliff’ s diligent application) of the same. I couldn’t have arrived at this outcome without making trial and error.

Midway through the afternoon, I put my body through the paces of localised muscle exercises:

Evening. After my practise session on guitar, I returned to complete what I’d set out to achieve today. It’d taken far longer, involved numerous revisions and dimensions, and required more intelligent thought than I’d anticipated. I’ve not problem with that, if the result is far better than was intended. Thereafter, I worked on developing sound clips to insert into sound art pages of the website, and on improving the general appearance of the ‘Exhibitions (Solo)’ page.
