1545 steps 😳, not sure that was what your physiotherapist intended you to do 🤪. Take a good rest and enjoy those Japan themed books meanwhile.

Lol!!! Most definitely not what my therapist intended!!! I got interested in books and carried away!! 🤣 I will be more careful in the future but it feels good to know I can keep up with the exercises!! But yes...🥴... I did waaay too much this time.

Sue, only yuo could think of, let alone draw, a "persistent hedgehog mural artist". I hope we'll see her again!

Hey Sue, you have made me happy! I so loved your notebook taking me to the Vancouver Community Library with you. Those four sides took me on an uplifting, expansive journey both in the library where I met the cool librarian, and way beyond the borders of the building to Japan (by the way, somewhere there is some fascinating work on the influence beginning of the 20th century Japanese art had on the development of the Danish design aesthetic…I need the cool librarian to help find it…). I loved the little details…the index numbers made my heart sing…

I think it’s something about the joyous spirit of enquiry, and finding ways of answering that in books, and being helped by a wonderful library to do that.

I just loved it all. So…your sore ankle and walking poles were worth it for all the material on Japan, for the fab brawling of it all…and for a man thousands of miles away from the Vancouver Community Library.

Dearest @jm_rives ( they/ them ) @Jeffrey Streeter @Sheila @Anne Belov @Liz Gauffreau @Nicolas Sutro - Today unfortunately I'm getting an error message whenever I try to reply to your many delightful comments. So I'm writing here to say Thank you to each of you - and am hoping this Note works:

You got it! I'll supply our persistent hedgehog with more art supplies and hopefully she'll do another mural for us…🤞🤞 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

I'll also continue my library therapy and will keep sharing my sketchbook for it too!!! I'm delighted to hear that you like it!!!

I heartily thank each of you for all of your support and encouragement!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Here's hoping this Note reaches you…

These library posts are such a delight, Sue!

I'm very behind on my Substack reading - a case of 'life getting in the way'! - but I'm finally beginning to catch up with some of the goodies I've been missing. ❤️
