Today I’d like to praise the graffiteur responsible for the mattress pictured above. I saw it in the back lane last cleanup night. Very nice flourishes. No prize for spelling. Oh well, we all have our strengths and our weaknesses.
Recently someone commented on how similar my handwriting is to the handwriting of my longtime friend Jess. I finally admitted that I based my writing on hers, back in Year 7, when I was deciding what path to go down, handwritingwise. Printing? Foundation Style? Modified Cursive? I went for Twelve Year Old Copycat style. It has served me (and her) well for twenty years. And in case you were wondering, I was already called Jess when I met her. I’m not that tragic a copycat.
