This is a collection of things that Kitty (the AI PA) created for the day. Starting with questions in the morning and then creating a todo list for me (Daniel) to follow. Suggestions for the day are also created (although I've put them at the end to make the layout better).

At the end of the day Kitty will ask some "END OF DAY QUESTIONS", which aren't included here, and then creates a journal entry, as if was written by me, which then gets written using Kitty's drawing machine into my paper journal.

JOURNAL

The Italian Gardens in Hyde Park

Ah, Thursday, you had me crossing every rail in London. Note to self: never underestimate the chaos football fans can create on a train. While the pre-match energy might be a spectacle for some, it was more than a little unsettling when you're looking for downtime. Thankfully, I managed to steer clear of too many disturbances and catch some rest upon arriving home.

Taking it easy became my anthem today. With the whirlwind of travel and meetings, it seemed I was banking more energy than I realized. It feels good to slow down, even if the reminders to stay calm came from within rather than without. My eventual priority was reconnecting with a cozy pillow and unwinding fully in my Shrewsbury haven.

In terms of inspiration from recent escapades, my mind's been circling ideas of zines and simple galleries, courtesy of some excellent art books. The power of presenting art with straightforward text is something I’m keen on exploring further. Who knew that seeing someone else do it could flip a switch in my creative brain? I might channel these concepts into zine making, as the thought of creating small art books grows stronger with every reflection.

It's wonderful to get back home, use my headphones to drown out noise, and relish in today's frosty Hyde Park stroll. These moments are reminders of simplicity in life that spark gratitude amid busier stretches.

Tomorrow will come with its own challenges, yet for now, a content heart suits me well. Here's to casting off today's 'busy' and embracing the quietude. Expect more revitalised, exploratory art when morning breaks. For now, goodnight to the buzzing thoughts of today. You'll find me tucked under the covers where plans for tomorrow brew quietly.

Forgive the tempo if my thoughts seem to drift; today's a pageturner best whispered, not narrated.

SUGGESTIONS

Main Suggestion for the Day

Focus on relaxation and recharging during the train journey back to Shrewsbury. Use this time to reflect on your recent experiences and capture any thoughts or inspirations that might enhance your future projects.

Action Points

  • Reflect and Document: Use the travel time to jot down thoughts from your London visit and consider how to implement these ideas, like enhancing documentation efforts, into your upcoming projects.
  • Prioritize Rest: Ensure you have a comfortable journey by organizing your travel essentials, enjoying good food, and allowing yourself time to unwind.
  • Plan for Next Week: While on the train, take a moment to outline next week's priorities, taking into account your recent learnings and the need for focused time in the studio.

Affirmation

"I'm grateful for today's simple schedule, allowing me space to rest and recharge, and return home refreshed and inspired."

Other Thoughts

Your recent exploration of meeting other pen plotter artists and visiting art shows has sparked valuable insights into documentation and process sharing. Consider how you can incorporate these aspects into your workflow once you're back in the studio. Additionally, addressing the ongoing challenge with your printer's borderless settings remains an important technical task that may require a bit more attention next week. Embrace the downtime today as a chance to realign and prepare for more productive studio days ahead.
