I'd like to do this next. A bit more complicated than my last few projects, but hopefully not too bad.

Been working through this, as expected it's been a bit of work. 

In one of the earlier entries the author compares himself to a poppy:

"I have the soul of the poppy flaming in me then. I am rather like the poppy in many ways.⁠ ⁠… It is peculiarly appropriate. It must be my flower! I am the poppy!!"

With that in mind I was thinking this could make a nice cover:

Yes, sorry, I actually remembered this this morning and then got involved in getting ready for travel and forgot it again.

I think it’s fine, I’ve marked it for the project.

And, since I mentioned it, I will be traveling until after the first of the year. I’ll be here, my responses will just take a bit longer than normal (he says as it took two days to get to this).

[Alex Cabal]

OK, have a good trip! :)
