Keepin' Busy

[Phelim McDermott]

I loved that book too
was really helpful /supportive prior to running my artists worldwork  
group and the devoted and disgruntled gig,

I thought of it when the day after our open space event there was a  
picture of an enormous blue Butterfly on the front page of the  
independent newspaper!
(some people have sent me emails which i will reply to in time have  
been inundated with responses post our event.
