Dot Polly Bubble Grid Notebooks
Are you finished with lines? Hemming you in, creating the expectation of literature and expository voluminously? Tired of grids and dots, giving too much and not enough. Well it is time for change. Try bubbles, in a grid. Offered in high and low frequencies, and with a handy national map in the centre. Great for lists, notes, solving murders, tracking fugitives and of course, aliens. Found where all of the things are sold, in paperback and hardcover!
You probably need two!

As I considered my stack of fresh, unspoilt notebooks, there was a blemish that required redress. While I had blank, lined, squared and dotted notebooks, I did not have nor could locate a be-dotted book. My life unfolds in effervescent episodes rather than the stripes of narrative. It took a very light search before I located Amazon KDP and a new project to pursue. This year I had hoped to focus on a web project that has been on a backburner for ages now. Circumstances have conspired to keep that backburner occupied and hopefully a modicum of success in this venture will bring forward a pot or two from metaphorical burners on a imaginary hob.

Now things are back where they should be!

Rec Tech
Inspired by my friend Henry I have been listening to favourite songs on vinyl. Buying albums I used to own on CD and mp3. A pendulum of attention recovering an audio life. Focusing on British music, with frequent exceptions. One album in my early music journey had a sample in the middle that intoned “Turn the record over” as it was hand sized metal and plastic saucer this anachronistic message was easy to ignore. Now on the reissued vinyl, it performs a useful function. As if the appendix is observed digesting cheese flavoured puffed corn.
