[WEDNESDAY 16 FEBRUARY 2011]
I am currently searching for magnets as a possible display solution for my post-it notes. It would be helpful if all the companies I have emailed would at least reply with an estimate of costs. Customer service just ain't what it used to be in these web-based times. I'm on the verge of finding their phone numbers and hassling them on the phone. I don't have much time.
Here I go to do a trial run of marking out the wall for post-it notes.
It took me 30 minutes to mark out the points for 256 notes. So I estimate it will probably take just over 4 hours of solid graft to mark out the full 2,025 points. That's not including rest breaks. Or mistakes.
I have to say my arms are sore after just half an hour... Oh! My!
I just spent a jolly half-hour talking to sales people at magnet suppliers, with varying degrees of helpfulness. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion it is not a viable idea due to the cost. ho hum!
LUNCH.
The ceremonial signing of the secret commemorative date plaque has taken place.
3.26pm: I have just finished painting in the new 'Home Sweet Home' letters. NEXT.
Still no news form the magnet makers. I have to get out and do some painting to take my mind off this preoccupation. I did some blue neon painting - the first layer of the morse code message. I had a load of paint left over so it was spent on a small canvas that's been kicking around of a kind of oscilloscope/heart monitor signal.
In between I made a valentines card for my beloved. No I didn't forget, we just decided to have valentines at the end of the week when we will actually see each other.
