This is the bark of a gum tree. I never noticed before how they shed their bark. It reminded me of torn drapery and I remembered a project I had thought of several years ago about using tree bark as an inspiration for knitting and sewing. Some of the trees have great thick sinews, coils and ropes of bark.
Otherwise, it has been a tiring, deskbound day without much relief. This afternoon, I couldn't make up my mind if I was tired or bored. Maybe both. I was wondering whether to get out my knitting, would that have been too rude? I was rustling and organising my papers Hilary Clinton style. Only a few more weeks.
A quick walk after work to the shops to get one or two things - olive oil, apricots, wine. I didn't seem to want to eat much today, my appetite seems to be shrinking.
Another day and a half to go, lovely!
