No April fools though I liked yours Nadja. I had visions of me returning to the potters wheel ! I hope that you are having a good adventure in Brighton. Hey we have ABBA on our blog!! That will make my friends chuckle : )
Rachael you look as if you are having a well deserved holiday.
My news is slightly less out of the ordinary. The sun came out for a full day on Monday and I got rather excited; got my bike out and went for the first bike ride of the year, some feat peddling against the strong almost gale for blustering winds. The sea was choppy. So nice to pop in and have a cuppa with a couple of friends. I felt very upbeat and full of spring.
Then as the sunny weather continued I did the epic thing of clearing out my car, come, garden shed, store room etc. I came across many treasures including three paintbrushes, some bits of art work from last year, and some treasures collected from the Dover caves that I visited with Erica and her fireman husband (when I was on the access course) two years ago!! and quite a few dead snails. Oh dear was it that long ago that I cleared out my car!!! I might even give the outside a clean, but steady on, slowly does it as all the paint might come off!! Anyway I can now put down the back seat to stack in work for Crate. etc.
Since then I have been working on downloading our blog so that I can print out a copy for our expo for our documentation and the entrance hall. Maybe no one will be interested but I am happy to at least have done it. It printed out in black and white. Just a few problems with different formats that people have used so it will be very much a working document. There was one page that foxed me so I will wait until I speak to the others. Could it have been done on Id before posting it?? I have had to cut down on images especially of artists work. There again I don't know how they were posted, but they were jumping all over the page or not moving at all when I tried to edit the page. I ended up cutting them out as they were often off centre when put into word and anyway they lost their lustre when not printed in colour. I am going to find a way to bind them as monthly pamphlets/booklets.
Otherwise the plinth is nearly painted (white) just one more coat. I am feeling very virtuous, but skint as I have just been to the dentist!
In-between this I have just been enjoying life and doing a bit of this and that. I have just come back from tea and cake with neighbours. I also was in Canterbury and have taken out a great book on Robert Rauschenberg which I am going to have a browse through now.
I will also look out all the tools that we need for setting up our expo. (I can put them in the car with out loosing them now!!)
And lastly I am adding some inspiration for our redthreadtrail by artist Chiharu Shiota. I do love her work.
Have a lovely evening !
Jennie
