I was catching up with Monday's plinthers and there it was. A prop I'm using, but one I haven't seen so far. Bother, I thought. But that was silly. The item won't be original, but it will be in a different form and used for a different purpose too.
Meanwhile, I received an e-mail, telling me that " the Hippo and Duck team will be delivering soon..." The other prop I asked for. The one I'm recycling from the plinth two weeks ago. The company have been so helpful, I will definitely be thanking them from the plinth.
Patsy's early Christmas party on the plinth last night was fun - with a lot of support and action from below in the square. She made a relevant point that the plinth appearance is only part of a larger project, that will play its part in the history of London. That's one of the reasons I was attracted to it. Something to leave the grandsons and future generations.
I'm also interested in how history will look back at some of the charity and awareness campaigns being promoted. Will these groups still exist? Will help and money still be required? Will future generations wonder at what was important in the summer of 2009?
I've been reading the One and Other official blog. As I've said, it's all much larger that just one hour on the plinth. A community of plinthers is building. There are a number of plinthers who are going to be in the square at the finish of the project at 9am on October 14th. I will be there too, though I may have written that before.
