never-ending story
the recurring conversation of the festival .....
random festival goer: "what ARE you doing?"
me: "I'm binding a very very VERY loooooooong book"
rfg: "so how long does it take?"
me: "well I started making this in June, I manage to bind about this much in one hour" (pointing to about a 10cm segment of the long book)
rfg: "oh goodness... don't your fingers/arms/ back/ neck (insert other random body part here) hurt?"
me: (slightly pained expression) "oh no I can do this for hours....."
rfg: "what's it going to be when you are finished?"
me: "well strangely enough it's going to be a very very VERY looooong book"
rfg: (offering a perplexed yet sympathetic look) "but WHY?"
me: "ahhh you've asked the vital question"
(to be continued)
