saturday

went back to bed around 4am, jody woke us at 7:30. we got up, bathed, and left for richard & sharron's house, where we ate some breads, drank a bit of coffee, and changed cars. headed to the gallery with ingrid & jody, parked underground by the new gallery. over to 'our' gallery, the morning was spent sorting and hanging work.

when noon arrived, we opened the doors and had a steady stream of folks all day, buying prints, some of the originals, and cider. long, steady day of signing prints.



some time after 5pm, we closed up. (left to right) rachel, di, graham, nick, jody and drew went to a bar nearby, where batman, the old 60's movie was playing on TVs. i drank a vodka orange, bought a round of guinesses, and bored the hell out of graham by subjecting him to a bunch of photos from my computer.

we moved to another bar (cord), talked more, criticized each other's nation spellings of words like colour and aluminium.

at 8:45, jody, di and i went to meet up with richard, sharron, ingrid, cassie (and HER richard), and laura for dinner.
we watched a car get 'towed', out the window, lifted by crane onto the back of a flatbed truck. dinner took forever to arrive, but was quite good - i had cod on mashed potatoes with prosciutto.

back out into the dark wet of night, sharron drove us to jody's, where i now type, about to join di in bed.
