morning and i wake von up with a ringing phone and he says he is giving me my birthday present early. "it will inspire you," he said. oh! i said. does that mean it's edible? and earned his immediate scorn. so i come over to dunster in the evening because he says he'll make me an egg salad sandwich and that a bunch of his friends are coming over to watch the incredibles and what does he give to me but jim krause's wonderful colour index - full of beautiful colour templates all of which comes with rgb, cymk or hex codes. he says i must never agonise over blog colours again, but this has just multiplied my indecision threefold!
