I made an interesting discovery yesterday, which is that I now live 5 minutes' walk away from the building I was born in. I'd always assumed that the mysterious 'Redlands Hospital' on my birth certificate was somewhere out of town (never thought to ask my mother of course), but it's an imposing stone villa just two blocks away that I've walked past a hundred times. 

Have just finished reading Charles Burns's masterful Black Hole - a book so black it smells strongly of ink. Even the edges of the spine lining fabric (do they have a name?) are striped black and white. 

We now have a flickr page - it's at www.flickr.com/photos/concal/. I'll gradually whip it into shape and move our gallery pictures there ... Seemed like a relaxing thing to do on a holiday Monday.
