Interesting, yesterday my phone was not to hand in my left pocket but jammed in my right stuck on my selfie stick. Surprised at how often my hand twitched to look at a map, the time or to take a snap. Often reason was not strong enough to extract from the right pocket.
“HAVE A GO WITH THIS! Paint me a picture with this drawing app I'm working on. You can load a pic to "trace" the outline, and if you tap the comma or full stop keys, the canvas "slides"... Oh, and the plus and minus keys make the lines change weight. https://t.co/JqLVx5xlDl”

“#clmooc Feldgang - picture collage, from a woods walk, of rocks and boulders, all slightly turned over: bugs, worms, strange roots, holes, eggs … all sorts of weird cool stuff. How about you? What will you find?”
