Dear Yvonne

I am feeling a bit negligent. It has proved hard to educate the blob consistently mostly because I have been busy educating my partner, my daughter (now aged 2) and myself. And because I do not notice it every day. My partner, P, has something to say about the process of living with the blob too. He remarked last week that a friend came round and thought it was a cushion purchased with our sofa, since the colour is similar. P thinks I should not give you back the blob. He says they have bonded. Our daughter M still refers to it as "baby". He wants me to ask you if he can buy it so she can have a sibling. Although it won't grow bigger, it will change physically and the education could continue.

Here are some recent photos of the ongoing education process which involves the blob and M watching BBC's Cbeebies programme for small children. Every day. M particularly likes Waybuloo. We are not sure what the blob prefers.



Last night I told P that you had invited me to Amsterdam and probably I would be taking the blob back. He was disappointed. I also said I should probably take it to Oxford to give it access to the education you probably had in mind when you entrusted it to me. He seemed not to understand that it is an artwork and thought that around £30 for your materials costs might suffice. I said I should record the conversation and he was a little surprised until I pointed out that we were in an artwork right then.


Today I hurt my back and I have been in a lot of pain. This is me sitting on the sofa with the matching blob supporting my back. In this picture I look pregnant or rather I look uncomfortable like I was when I was pregnant.
