I'm not sure why, but this delighted me this morning:

HALW10%2012
Valid until 31 Oct 2012
It came with a logo (with witches, obvs). There's something so perfunctory about it. And the cut-off date is poetry. Not sure why, but it reminds me of getting a text from the GUM clinic that says 'ur tests are clear'. Or even 'Your tests are clear'. It's still such a weird match. Better, I suppose, than 'u better get down here, ur riddled w stds lol'. But still.
There will be a "Halloween Swim" on 31st. It seems a little bit incongruous, but so good too. That explains the two ladies with witches' hats I took photos of a few days ago. They were posing for a poster, it seems. This morning, I saw a beefy man in his thirties or forties riding up Merton Lane (the hill coming from the pond) on his bike with a full-face nylon Spiderman mask on. Not smiling or anything. Looking pretty pissed off, if I had to say. It made me guffaw, it did.
I just had the most tasty of workshops. It was ace. Public Speaking Ninja. Someone earlier said (gently, loadedly) "Do you think that 'ninja' is the right word to describe it?'. I don't care if it's not (I said, less gently, but with an honest smile). Thing is, that comment really helped. Yes, ninjas are known for stealth, but they're also known for being invincible. So we 'covered that off' early in the workshop, and the invincibility idea really fed the session.
I loved it. I was small-minded and tight before. I wasn't keen... not about the work - about the vibe. And then people started to turn up. We had a small group, but it was good. And after such sessions, I'm always so high. Today's wasn't the best organised session I've ever done, but I think everyone in the room got something concrete and useful out of it, especially me. Two stayed back for a bit of an extra play and I'm really glad we did that. I was concerned that one of the people hadn't yet quite found her 'unlocker' and she really wanted to, so with that, we played a little longer and heard a voice I hadn't even had a taste of before. Amazing.

Lovely chumpfest at the Tate Modern earlier, if a little brief. A pair of chumps, chumping. Here's to more of that! Cheers.
