Just wanted to share the birthday cake that my 15 year old daughter made for herself because her mother is too busy studying: 9 x 15 year olds for a sleep over who had birthday cake for breakfast. Very proud, as it tasted as good as it looked.

My daughter is brilliant
Just realised that I need to stop wallowing in self pity and celebrate my family's creativity.

Families . . . aaaaahhhhh
Had a hideous week, sorting out the vultures who are no longer circling but crashing to earth with alarming speed.
I hope that I have now stabilised the older generation, such that I have brain space to do something for my degree, rather than sitting in the corner of the room, rocking and sobbing because I'm simply trying to get an appointment at the fracture clinic for an 82 year old with 10 pins in her wrist and Parkinsons Disease. I don't want to tempt fate but I think I have sorted things so I can get back to studying.
Just watching
Interesting discussions between Ross and I - construction vs landscape - he's had meetings with Rogers, Foster and the Head of Planning for City of London but had no idea who Charles Jencks is! The shame of it. I have educated him.
Well worth a view, I'm looking forward to the next 2 episodes.
Have to say that Social Services can be wonderful in a crisis and if you're having trouble with hospital admin, try PALS.

What have you done to me?
In the first year I couldn't look at buildings without about the brick bonds, now I'm watching the Winter Olympics closing ceremony, looking at the lighting strategy (don't panic Jamie, I'm not thinking about moving coloured lights, I was looking at how they lit the foot paths - bollards and floods).
The buildings and lighting were amazing. I wonder if the Olympics (summer and winter) have the same effect on architecture as Sheldon et al have had on science??
Talk about looking at the bigger picture.
Oh, and the circling vultures are no longer circling, they're landing.

By George, I think she may finally have got it!
I sincerely hope so, at last!
I've just had a look at Sid's post - The Old Oak Bench and been inspired - oh my god Sid, you have seriously been busy playing and developing a style - you rock, and you give me the impetus to try things myself.
The tutorial with Jamie yesterday really helped too - what we're doing isn't about lines on a sheet of paper, or marks on a computer screen, it's about creating spaces that do what we intend them to do so that people want to be there and because we work with plants, they will change through the seasons.
I need to go and screw up some paper.
Here's a trial run for some rendering - I was working some ideas for the identity of the park.

I love the shadows in these images - sunlight is an issue in country so we have to make the most of it!
