2. PLACES TO KNOW
5. INSPIRATION
I want to share a game I bought last year. I really can't go to bookshops because I see so many interesting things that I just can't buy. But when I saw this game I could not resist.
It's from http://www.laurenceking.com/en/gifts/children-s/. They have good stuff. If you are good with your hands you can create these dice yourself and paint the elements. They are good for adults and children. Nine wooden dice have iconic representations of fairy-tale and magic tropes that, when combined, create an endless number of stories, or one never ending story. You can tell a story in the order that the dice are rolled or, as the booklet suggests, you can make it more challenging and funnier, by passing the story from one player to the next, sort of like Exquisite Corpse...
2. PLACES TO KNOW
Old Rottingdean postcards
Tudor Close House was a skilful 1920s conversion of much older farm buildings into seven houses. They were converted into a hotel, as seen in this view, but shortly afterwards the building was reconverted back to twenty-nine flats.

Michael Graves - electric kettle
Today is about playing games
Types of play
Types of play
Polly Pocket - A cute, compact and portable little world to get their imagination going.
Cluedo game.
We see the act of playing as a sort of rite. For us, playing is one of the most fascinating ways to travel, get into new worlds and make connections with the world around.
Albert Einstein - “play is the highest form of research”... It’s a way to help us develop social skills. It’s a way to get us into the act (and art) of improvisation.
It’s a way to relax.
Brian Sutton-Smith - “the opposite of play is not work, it is depression.”
Something to remember: To design magic, one needs to play.To design involves
the imaginary.
Alfred Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder
Hitchcock about time capsules: “We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century
or so some idea of what we are like. I have prepared one of my own. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder, and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like.”
Frances Glessner Lee - A heiress who chose to spend her life investigating crimes to “convict the guilty, clear the innocent, and find the truth in a nutshell”.
Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death.
