What's the nearest blue thing to you?
No blue mug here, so I used my notebook. Beside the window it looked bright blue; a hand's width back and it was nearly navy. I hadn't expected such a small move to matter.
From above, the mug is just circles
Put a spoon alongside my mug, with the spoon handle pointing towards the mug handle. From above they make a wonky little arrow. Wasn't the arrangement I started with, but it's the one I kept.
Pencil, kettle, traffic outside
Closest: my pencil scratching, stopping, scratching again. A bit further off: the kettle building up a hiss. Outside: traffic, mostly one soft wash of sound. The pencil keeps interrupting everything.
