Wednesday 5th March

Went to art school at 11.00 this morning. It was very quiet, with hardly anyone around but I decided to stay anyway. One girl came over to me and stared at my work for about 2 minutes without saying a word and then walked off again. Strange. Finally met Graces Christophe very briefly this afternoon, she was showing him the art school. He seem very nice. I then worked until about 4.30, still sewing the blasted sea, before giving up and going to get some paints. Yep, i’m going to attempt to paint again. I’m surrounded by painters so it seems fitting to have a go too. I want to do a painting of Dad and I arriving at the Euro Tunnel. After buying the paint I dropped off all my stuff at the flat, picked up my laptop and decided to go for supper at Flunch. Spent a good two hours again in there, this time watching the top 20 music countdown. And success, I understood the till lady when she asked if I wanted any hot food. Non, merci. Back at the flat I got down to my painting. First I made a water pot by cutting the bottom of a water bottle and found a temporary mixing palette in the form of a plastic bag. I think its looking ok. Its only block colours at the moment but it still looks like what its meant to. Then I did more sewing of the sea - again!
Oh, and I have another neighbour. I haven’t seen them yet but it sound as though they’re putting up selves and there is a smell of paint in the air. Damn, will probably mean i’ll need to lock the door more often.
