And it rained most of yesterday too. Good for the garden, at any rate. The nasturtiums have gone into the compost - there was barely a leaf left after two days of the caterpillars noshing away, but everything else is happier for the good prolonged rain.
I have a couple of drawers with various art supplies, mostly from when the two of us worked in a company that imported and distributed fine-art supplies. From time to time I take a look through to see if there's anything useful, anything to FreeCycle, anything I just want to keep. Tonight I picked out a spare of my second favourite eraser and these three bottles of ink. As the rubber hasn't perished, they can't be too old, and I'll certainly give them a try. They are still available, in a round bottle and with a different colour of label.
Taking a photo of them reminded me that I'd taken a picture of a book cover when we were staying in my aunt's in May, and never got round to sizing and posting that.

You've reminded me that I came across a tutorial lately that made the most gorgeous flowers out of coffee filters and watercolors. There are bunches of them on the internet if you've got filters.
That book is a real treasure. I love the graphic cover.
I have a weakness for old books. I have some that belonged to R's grandparents - his sister was throwing them away and I rescued a few. Some have dedications, like the one that was a present from a teacher. Recently I (re)read one of them - Little Women.
