continued drawing Lucy with references to the flow of intertwined lives and families.

still in Limbo regards Lucy and leaving for Corsica.
Decide to draw about it in the context of “River” – Bristol Avon and Lucy as the source with rivers crossed in France as an analogy, a flow of information about Lucy’s progress. Some practical issues as the travel time has been reduced.

13th to 18th September
Lucy diagnosed with a kidney infection – very, very painful. Eventually taken back into hospital and diagnosed with kidney stones. Camping-out in Bristol. After various scares and tests, Lucy home on 18th. I’ve included this in my blog because? Because its been important and yet not something I choose to develop as a part of my research at this time – although there were links to drawing machines and links with ‘experiential caring’ and ‘cognitive caring’, but the overall sense was of concern, limbo and caring about Lucy recovering – so research took a break. In between times:

Writing an abstract about collaborative writing as inquiry/methodology for possible submission to publication, forwarded to Sue Porter.

Re planned and booked trip to Corsica twice.

Circulated meeting proposal and agenda for ‘River’ meeting

Responded to Max Comfort’s invitation to be involved with Neighbourhood Development Plan and to Steve Robert’s invitation to Five Festival’s meeting.
