Yesterday, I’d commented to Moira that I hadn’t seen any hot air balloons since we came to Deanery Road… and, blow me, just after I’d returned home at 7.30am, I was suddenly aware that balloons were close by (‘that noise’)!
I spent much of the morning filling screw holes in the walls in preparation for Amy+Mary next week (plus tried to modify the radiator height position in the living room)… it all feels part of a never-ending process and one where ‘progress’ is difficult to ‘see’. Step at a time!
Ended up going to the Watershed (for the first time in 18 months) for chunky chips/red wine lunch… and I did a quick sketch while I was there (table service only – no queues at the bar – and really hardly anyone inside… although the roof terrace was full).
In the afternoon, I did a couple of rapid sketches based on images from an Art Deco book I’d got out of the library (an enormous, very heavy thing!)… before returning my Deco and Patrick Caulfield books to the library.
I sat on the balcony for an hour before supper (I was going to read, but didn’t!... but did later).
More balloons overhead!
Evening telly: short ‘Three Men in a Boat’ film (1975 – with Michael Palin).
