yoke and zoom

28th June 2008. Residency day 25

Sunday went into Walsall with my Dad.
more work on the beams - don't know when they'll be finished.
Dad had a wander round the town and a welcome sit down on the leather couch in the studio.

had lunch at Wetherspoons which is an old cinema /theatre. you have to walk down into the old orhestra pit to get to the bar. Sat in a snug where we saw a photo of "Epstein and friend" and a barmy portrait of Epstein by Augustus John.

nipping back to the gallery in the rain I walked thro the bus station. A glazed circular flat-roofed building with holes cut out of the canopy. it looks 70s Sci-fi though it was probably built in 80s or 90's.

had some really good responses today for the cottage and enjoyed
the slower Sunday pace of the gallery. Didn't quite finish the beams
but have to really concentrate on the thatched roof tomorrow.
