Well. 

I did not expect to be stuck indoors.

This story is influenced by the river like lines of the paint splodges, and their underworld shade of red.

Told you it was time to get messy!

Here is this week’s extract. It is the usual mixture of Welsh words and strange concepts. But at the very least The Butter Mouse sets a creative challenge that is fun and tactile.I am pleased with the results on my cards, and you can see my creations on all the posts this month.

Heads up. Anyone following along at home, this month you need to put aside some money for paints. 

The state of our high streets is a real shame. 

The Butter Mouse is right. It is easier completing this task today than it was twenty years ago. Only now it is the disposable camera you do not have to muck about with. A few clicks on your smart phone, and your photos for this month’s task are sorted. 

Here is another extract from The Butter Mouse's book. It works well quoting the exercise in his own words, so I will continue in this format for now. Fingers crossed someone comes forth with a copyright claim, so we can push for an interview. Plus I am pleased to say if you have sorted your cards out, this should be nice and straightforward. 

 Now we are a month in, it is time to get organised.

So here is my first piece, ‘A Quiet Drink At The Happy Unicorn’.

If there is one huge advantage to completing the Butter Mouse’s quest in 2020, it is that modern technology means you do not need to faff with egg timers and physical maps.

So here are two initial extracts from the Butter Mouse’s book, exploring what to do with your pack of cards, and this month’s challenge. I hope they give you a flavour of his writing, and explains why there is a card alongside ever post.

Here is the latest section of the Butter Mouse’s book. His odd turns of phrase continue, and many add to my developing theory of what his underlying message is.
