It trickles away, my time, so that the to-do list just gets longer and longer until things just fall off the end of it. Mind you, I'm sure everyone is the same to a greater or lesser extent, so why do I go on about it? Because it's so irritating and I know that a lot of it is down to indolence. Pull yourself together, I think. But by and large I don't.
Enough of this. To exhibitions instead. Actually they are a perfect example of things that fall off the list all the time, completely forgotten as often as not unless I am reminded of them once they've finished. But not all of them! I was very pleased with myself that I made it to the actual opening of Sandra Porter's show at the Museum in the Park in Stroud. Her work derives from bothans but you don't really need to know that - it's quite abstracted and I love it. While there were paintings and drawings too, I of course went for the prints - her are some lovely textural details below. Actually, getting to the opening was a mixed blessing in that space was, of course, pretty limited, but I'm sure I wouldn't have managed to get there at all otherwise so I'm happy enough.

I was disappointed to miss two other events, but so it goes. I got as far as the venue for the Jerwood Drawing Prize exhibition, The Edge at Bath Uni, but was stymied by lack of parking. Not an insurmountable problem if you have enough time, but I didn't - however, I've since discovered that it (or possibly part of it) will be showing at Trowbridge's Drawing Projects UK later on, so perhaps I'll manage to see it there. And the rescheduled Hepworth print fair fell victim to a lengthy (three weeks!) saga of two cars (please, don't ask). The print fair will have to wait until next year.
