I was told that it would have taken me less time to do the dishes than to write about me not having done the dishes in a long time. Doing the dishes did take longer than writing about them. I finished the work around 3am last night. The place is transforming again.
I have entered that forgotten room behind a door in my bedroom, the stem-room, the trailer, the office, the studio. I have not been here for quite a while now. The images had started falling off the wall, so I took them off, most of them, and packed them neatly into one of the many boxes piled at the other wall.
A lot is going on here on one hand, nothing is going on here on the other hand. And this is not good, no matter how I look at it. Need to do the work. Need to do it now. If not now, when?
Oh, and it was interesting to find a very good photograph that shows the place where I was born. This here is the city where I am from. A very nice picture taken by Wojciech Wilczyk. The picture looks exactly like my memories of my early childhood and later vacations spent with my grandparents and my uncle. Even though the picture here was shot in 2001.

What are those low structures in the middle of the street?
I think the original idea for structures of this kind in early industrial areas was to be life stock holding pans. The coal miners and foundry workers were supposed to have pigs and goats and chickens, to improve their diet. (Many old miners are still passionate pigeon breeders, some breed rabbits.)
I think most of these places are now used as garages, or as storage. Many of the basements of the buildings are apartments.
