OK, I admit I was a lazy poster this week but we are just having so much fun with our Japanese friend…
And to make it up to you, here is a little iillustration I fiddled with last week.
I admit this may seem like a side step from the Things as they are project but I decided I’d recycle the images into another project, a series of cards I will name the Alphabet of everyday life. So in the end I’ll have a non-aesthetisation of everyday life plus an aesthetisation of this non-aesthetisation :))
It probably won’t be as sophisticated as this Periodic table of elements I recently came across but I’ll give it my best shot.

We get a first proper international visit in our apartment tomorrow – our Japanese friend will stay with us for over a week and we have been looking forward to this for the last three weeks. And to put a cherry on the top, she sent us a surprise packet full of wonderful Japanese stuff. Unfortunately, the ceramic plate got crushed in the mail, but it was a chance for me to compensate my not studying archeology (which I wished for quite some time). So I bought a new tube of glue and… Well, some of the cracks are still visible but that’s part of its charm – the plate is now in one piece and proudly displayed.
And now a little Monday puzzle for you: the most intriguing item in the packet was this very nice wooden object. Any ideas what it is used for? (I’ll post the answer by the end of the week)
