FREE WRITING EXERCISE - 22 NOVEMBER 2019
I'm looking at the wall of the Launceston School for Seniors building opposite. It's a brick wall, built with the local orange brick, in the ubiquitous Stretcher Bond pattern - nothing fancy but not the cheap option, either. The architect has opted for functional rather than pizzaz.
With the way the sun is shining, I can see the imperfections in the line of brickwork. Some individual bricks seem to stand out, others seem recessed a fraction. My tidy mind wants uniformity and the lack of perfection bothers me.
Maybe I'll sit with my back to that wall in future.
