We're working from home today, so I am stretched out in the winter sunshine of the sunroom watching Anthony drawing out of the corner of my eye. I say drawing, its more like playing with the ipad, with a pencil to hand in case Nel comes in.... I've never known a designer so easily distracted.
If its not pinterest its fancy, if its not a new tweet from one of the people he met at Tent, its looking up CNC suppliers. Or just making another cup of tea. Or fixing the new stairs into the sunroom. Or pondering. He does a lot of that, does our Anthony.
What he's supposed to be doing is the drawings for Sidney the shelving unit to go into Daniels flat. (http://www.anthonyhartley.co.uk/#!portfolio/vstc4=sidney) But Bob has come to stay.
Bob crept into his head while I wasn't looking - I was probably standing guard against the evil feline princess madam Alice who has had her eye on my tartan blanket for a while now...
Bob appears to be a close relative of Sidney. But Bob is more likely to turn up in a house like yours, because you will be able to design and fit him yourself. He'll still go into and out of corners, up and down walls and wherever else he wants to poke his nose. And he'll be unvarnished plywood, with a really cool coloured trim which you can choose yourself.
So, Bob has come to stay and taken up residence inside Anthony's head,which is why not much else is getting done at the moment.
Still, its a glorious day, and he's promised me a trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park this afternoon to see the Jaume Plensa works all lit up at dusk. What more could a whippet ask for (except sole and exclusive and undisputed rights to his own tartan blanket at all times, forever....)
