What is the victory of a cat on a hot tin roof? Just staying on it I guess, long as she can.

Digital trinkets.

I am in the midst of exams so should really have my nose in a book rather than be sat here finding digital trinkets that please me... sometimes these things happen! Here are a few little things that I have wondered across that have made me smile over the past few days, starting with two tiny illustrations by Edward Lear.





The idea of the above "altered books poetry" really fascinates me. When (and if) I have time, I shall do it and post it to a random address on the other side of the world. Now I've written this, I have to do so. The process is meant to work like this:

"Cut the bindings off of books found at a used book shop. Find poems in the pages by the process of obliteration. Put pages in the post and send them all around the world. Repeat."

All of my college classes took exams this week as well. I am grading them now. To me, it is almost Biblical. It is better to give than to receive. Good luck!
